Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

Creator:: Ostrow, Kayla
Abstract:: To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...

Blending of Virgin and RAP Binder for Asphalt Mixes with High RAP Contents: A Pilot Study

Creator:: Lewis, Sunny, Coleri, Erdem, Sukhija, Mayank, and Sreedhar, Shashwath
Abstract:: Reusing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) presents an opportunity to reduce environmental burdens and encourage sustainable development. However, a concern exists about blending RAP binder and virgin asphalt binder. While RAP mixtures assume complete blending between these binders, the actual extent of this blending remains uncertain. Lower blending percentages can reduce...

Conceptual Design of Advanced Construction Progress Monitoring with Terrestrial and Robotic Laser Scanning Systems

Creator:: Arjmand, Mohsen, Jung, Jaehoon, Olsen, Michael J., Lassiter, H. Andrew, and Jafari, Melika
Abstract:: Advanced geomatics tools such as robotic and terrestrial laser scanners have the potential to significantly improve the progress monitoring of construction sites throughout their life cycle, particularly in the concrete structures, from the initial stage to cracking the ground for excavation and shoring to outdoor pouring of concrete at above...

Synergistic Effects of Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) and Fly Ash on the Corrosion Characteristics of Reinforced Concrete Systems

Creator:: Mazarei, Vandad
Abstract:: Alkali silica reaction (ASR) and corrosion of reinforcement are two deterioration mechanisms in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. These deterioration mechanisms can significantly damage a RC structure and reduce its service life. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are commonly used to improve the durability of RC systems containing reactive aggregate that are...

Durability and Performance of High Early Strength Concrete for Structural Bridge Deck Overlays

Creator:: Smith, Jeremy A.
Abstract:: High early strength concrete (HESC) allows for faster construction with less impact on traffic, thus reducing the indirect costs associated with a project. There are multiple methods for achieving early strength, such as alternative cements like calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) or chemically accelerated portland cements. The standard criteria for an HESC...

Applying the Mixed Logit Model with Heterogeneity in Means and Variances to Pedestrian Injury Severity Outcomes

Creator:: Umphress, James
Abstract:: Walking is the single most universal mode of transportation in the world, but being a pedestrian exposes a traveler to high risk. Historically, pedestrians have consistently experienced disproportionately high rates of fatalities and severe injuries in traffic crashes. Research has probed into factors influencing pedestrian crash injury severity outcomes, but...

Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

Creator:: Thorp, Tiana Noelani
Abstract:: Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...

Wave Energy Converter Archetypes and Power Performance Representation

Creator:: May-Varas, Nicholas and Robertson, Bryson
Abstract:: There is a continuing and increasing need to develop renewable energy technologies that are efficient, cost-effective and produce usable forms of energy. Wave energy converters (WECs) have an opportunity to play a key and significant role in the integration of renewable energy technologies on a commercial scale. It is estimated...

Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

Creator:: Meek, Moira H.
Abstract:: Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

From Perception to Planning : Adaptation in Flood-risk Communities

Creator:: Gomez, Luis A.
Abstract:: This research asserts that flood risk perception of individuals living in floodplains influences their preparedness for taking actions to protect themselves from flood hazards. The results of this research are backed up by quantitative analysis of survey responses of individuals living in floodplains of Corvallis, OR in the USA. The...
