Establishing a through-boring pattern and method of test for utility poles

Creator:

Elkins, Lori A.

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to optimize a through-boring pattern that will provide adequate preservative penetration while minimizing the reduction in overall pole bending strength. Hole spacing was developed using longitudinal and transverse chemical penetration data from previous studies. Finite element analysis was used as a preliminary assessment tool...

Masters Thesis
The seismic geotechnical modeling, performance, and analysis of pile-supported wharves

Creator:

McCullough, Nason J.

Abstract:

This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the seismic performance and analysis of pile-supported wharves. Given the limited number of well-documented field case histories, the seismic performance of pile-supported wharves has been poorly quantified, and the analysis methods commonly employed in engineering practice have...

Tidal influence on downstream fining in gravel-bed rivers

Creator:

Coles, Derron Rafiq

Abstract:

This research examines the downstream fining phenomenon as it operates in coastal gravel-bed rivers of Oregon. Downstream fining is a change in bed composition toward smaller sediment sizes in the downstream direction. Changes in stream flow discharge and channel slope affect the rate of bed-load transport, thereby altering the downstream...
