Wave modeling at the mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:: Kassem, Sarah
Abstract:: As the second largest river in the U.S., the entrance to the Columbia River is home to some of the most extreme wave conditions on the Pacific Coast. Winter storms commonly generate waves 6-8 m in height, which in combination with strong tidal currents, can produce dangerous navigation conditions. To...

Consideration of Driver Behavior in the Design of Red Light Extension Systems

Creator:: McCrea, Sarah Anne
Abstract:: Red Light Running (RLR) is a safety hazard at signalized intersections in Oregon and throughout the United States. Various methods of mitigating factors contributing to RLR have been implemented but few protect against a conflict when a vehicles runs a red light. Additionally, current prediction algorithms are complicated; there is...

Development of Technologies to Evaluate Hot Mix Asphalt Adhesion through Tack Coat

Creator:: Mahmoud, Aiman Mustafa H.
Abstract:: Flexible pavements consist of multilayers, which form the pavement structures. Since the strength of the bond at interface between layers plays a significant role in improving the structural integri-ty and the performance of pavement structures, tack coat materials and methods used for their application during construction are important in providing...

Road user understanding of shared lane pavement markings (sharrows) case study - Corvallis, OR

Creator:: Cosma, Ioana
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on shared use lane facilities and road user understanding. Shared use lanes (sharrows) are a common solution for road facilities that are too narrow to accommodate a full bicycle lane and where the local jurisdiction wants to reduce dooring crashes. In recent years, engineers have focused on...

Moving towards sustainability and increasing user safety by improving performance of RAP mixtures and developing a network-level decision-making tool for pavement maintenance

Creator:: Haddadi, Sogol Sadat
Abstract:: Due to a general reduction in pavement program funding levels over the past decade, the current budget is not sufficient to maintain roadways at a high level of service with acceptable roughness levels. Rough roadways with poor ride quality increase drivers’ vehicle operating costs (fuel consumption, vehicle maintenance, and tire-wear)...

Introducing the Concept of Foundational Attributes and Project Metabolism to Assess Construction Project Similarity

Creator:: Zhang, Fan
Abstract:: A construction project is considered to be unique due to the process of delivering a customer-designed product, diverse stakeholders involved, the unique location and timeframe of construction, and specific social, economic, and environmental constraints attached to it. The uniqueness of construction projects brought great challenges to the construction industry professionals...

Climate Change Impacts to Estuarine Hydrodynamics: Tools, Methodologies, and Predictions

Creator:: Parker, Kai A.
Abstract:: Coastal communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are rapidly engaging with the idea that hazards and environmental pressures are changing and may be characteristically different in the near future. This has led to a need for scientific knowledge and tools that can help coastal communities prepare and build resilience...

The Statistical and Econometric Analyses of the Impacts of Covid-19 on Truck Driver Behavior

Creator:: Velasquez, Brianna N.
Abstract:: The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the restrictions implemented in response to it (e.g., stay-at-home orders, social distancing mandates, business closures) had unprecedented effects on the trucking industry. The pandemic prompted the first significant overhaul of federal hours-of-service (HOS) regulations in over 15 years. Prior to the...

Nearshore wave predictions along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast

Creator:: García-Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: This thesis contains a manuscript describing the implementation of a high resolution wave forecasting model for the coasts of Washington and Oregon. The purpose of this project was to advance the wave predictive capabilities of the states of Oregon and the southwest part of Washington by including the effects of...

Roughness and geometry effects of engineered log jams on 1-D flow characteristics

Creator:: Valverde, Rachelle S.
Abstract:: The re-introduction of large woody debris (LWD) into streams and rivers for stream restoration purposes is rapidly growing. Engineered log jams (ELJs) are man-made structures intended to mimic natural LWD structures, designed and installed to protect stream banks from erosion while increasing habitat diversity. Several studies have evaluated the flow...
