  • Investigation of x-ray computed tomography for Portland cement phase quantification

    Creator:
    Deboodt, Tyler J.
    Abstract:
    Cementitious materials are often characterized through the use of advanced analytical techniques to understand the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale properties, including phase formation during hydration, and subsequent potential deterioration mechanisms which can affect service life. A major limitation with using such analytical techniques to quantify solid phases in cementitious systems...

  • Internal curing of high-performance concrete for bridge decks

    Creator:
    Deboodt, Tyler
    Abstract:
    High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this type of concrete is highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Both types of...

  • Assessment and Service Life Prediction of Microbial Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC)

    Creator:
    Sahan, Feyza N.
    Abstract:
    Microbial-induced corrosion of concrete (MICC) is a multi-stage deterioration process caused by microbial activity in wastewater infrastructure. MICC is a worldwide issue due to the reduced service life of the wastewater infrastructure and the economic impact associated with increased maintenance and reconstruction costs. This thesis explores two critical aspect of...

  • Hydrodynamic characterization of floating offshore wind turbines : an experimental and numerical multi-degree of freedom analysis

    Creator:
    Gadasi, Jonah B.
    Abstract:
    Wind energy has become a crucial resource in sustainably meeting increasing global energy demands. Recently, offshore wind energy has been gaining traction due to its higher gross resource and larger unclaimed real-estate relative to its onshore counterpart. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are increasingly popular, particularly designs with semisubmersible platforms....

  • Remote and Ground-based Methods for Monitoring Vegetation Health Parameters in a Bioretention Facility

    Creator:
    Prettyman, Kery M.
    Abstract:
    The growing contamination of surface water by stormwater runoff parallels increasing urban development. Heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are discharged from point sources and washed from impervious surfaces into surface waters, impacting the ecology of these systems, food supplies,...

  • Practical Design Considerations for Steel Slit Panel Frames

    Creator:
    Parikh, Madhav
    Abstract:
    Steel Slit Panel Frames (SSPFs) are an innovative and resilient lateral force resisting system. Steel Slit Panels (SSPs) are bolted to the beams and act as replaceable seismic fuses, dissipating energy through flexural yielding in links between vertical rows of slits. SSPFs have shown promise as a lateral force resisting...

  • Observations and Modeling of Shear Reduction and Sediment Flux within Vegetated Canopies on Managed Coastal Dunes

    Creator:
    Dickey, John
    Abstract:
    Wind flow on vegetated coastal foredunes adapts to the local canopy drag, resulting in spatial gradients in bed shear stresses which contribute to the formation of localized bedforms (e.g., nebkha, shadow dunes). Numerous morphological properties of the plants, including canopy height and density, affect the wind flow dynamics and therefore...

  • Evaluation of Low-Impact Development (LID) Treatment Train at OSU-Benton County Green Infrastructure Facility

    Creator:
    Saduova, Alisha
    Abstract:
    Urban stormwater runoff with a high impervious area can significantly impact pollution concentrations of receiving water bodies. The use of low impact development (LID), which mimics the hydrological properties of the site before development, has been studied in an increasing number of studies, and the available database has shown to...

  • Accuracy Evaluation of Real-Time GNSS Survey Observations

    Creator:
    Allahyari, Mahsa
    Abstract:
    Real time networks (RTNs) have become popular for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveys because highly accurate positions can be derived in seconds to minutes compared to hours as required with static sessions. To evaluate the accuracy of these shorter-duration, RTN GNSS observations and their potential for use as a...

  • Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

    Creator:
    Santha, Rubini
    Abstract:
    Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...
