  • Evaluation of alternative information signs in Oregon

    Creator:
    Neill, Justin Michael
    Abstract:
    The number of international inbound tourists to the United States has risen steadily. To serve these and other tourists best, traffic signs need to communicate information correctly across a potential language barrier. Of particular interest is the traffic sign intended to communicate directions to Tourist Information centers. While the general...

  • Applying climate change information to hydraulic and hydrologic transportation infrastructure

    Creator:
    Al Naabi, Rawan Y.
    Abstract:
    Scour is the main cause of bridge failures in the United States. Bridge failures raise a hazard to the safety of the traveling public as well as the massive economic consequences due to the high cost of constructing a new or a replacement bridge. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)...

  • Digitalization of Construction-Phase Information Management by Project Owners

    Creator:
    Jahanger, Qais K.
    Abstract:
    Construction is a strategically important industry and its productivity has a significant impact on a nation’s economy. However, productivity in the US construction industry has been widely reported to be on the decline. Among several causes identified, the lack of innovation in project management practices has been described as having...

  • 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...

  • Effect of an Idealized Mangrove Forest of Moderate Cross-shore Width on Loads Measured on a Sheltered Structure and Comparison with Predicted Forces

    Creator:
    Mitchell, William T.
    Abstract:
    As coastal communities face increasing chronic and acute hazards, nature-based coastal engineering solutions have experienced a rapid growth in popularity and interest. Recent works on this topic have shown that “Green Infrastructure” may be effective at mitigating coastal hazards and therefore provide sustainable adaptation alternatives to traditional engineering solutions such...

  • Bearing capacity and immediate settlement of shallow foundations on clay

    Creator:
    Strahler, Andrew W.
    Abstract:
    Shallow foundations are extensively used to support structures of all sizes and derive their support from near surface soils. Thus, they are typically embedded up to a few meters into the soil profile. Designers of shallow foundations are required to meet two limit states: overall failure of the soil beneath...

  • Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

    Creator:
    Loving, Carly K.
    Abstract:
    To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...

  • Knowing Concepts in the Social and Material Context of Engineering Practice

    Creator:
    Bornasal, Floraliza
    Abstract:
    It is expected that information taught in the context of school will ultimately transfer to workplace settings. To support this transition, educators and researchers advocate for organizing foundational ideas, or concepts, in specific domains of knowing. In the domain of transportation engineering, knowing of concepts, which include "big ideas" such...

  • Shear reinforcement effects of discrete columns in liquefiable soils

    Creator:
    Rayamajhi, Deepak
    Abstract:
    Discrete columns, such as stone and soil-cement columns, are often used to improve the liquefaction resistance of loose sandy ground. In particular, stone columns are considered to increase resistance potential by densification, drainage, and reinforcement mechanisms. For silty soil, the shear stress reduction resulting from the reinforcing effect of stiffer...

  • Investigating the Current Teaching Evaluation Practices used in Engineering Programs and their Usefulness to Educators

    Creator:
    Villanueva, Keisha A.
    Abstract:
    Evaluation of teaching is used to examine and improve teaching quality in higher education. The literature consists of best teaching evaluation practices that have been developed, yet there is little research that has been conducted which investigates teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs. This thesis represents two manuscripts that explore...
