  • Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

    Creator:
    Wilson, Jebediah
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

  • Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

    Creator:
    Wilson, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • Coastal Soil and Structure Behavior during Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazards

    Creator:
    Qiu, Yingqing
    Abstract:
    Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...

  • Effects of Moisture Intrusion on the Performance of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Angle Bracket Connection

    Creator:
    Bora, Shrenik S.
    Abstract:
    Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is revolutionizing the use of wood in the construction sector of North America as a solution for walls and diaphragms in mid-rise or even high-rise timber structures on account of its environmental advantages, high strength-to-weight ratio, fire-safety performance, and propensity for prefabrication. However, considering the hygroscopic nature...

  • Observations of cross-shore sediment transport and formulation of the undertow

    Creator:
    Guannel, Gregory E.
    Abstract:
    A new set of data from a large-scale sand bar migration experiment is presented. During this experiment, two sandbars were generated. One of the bar was generated by the action of undertow, and sediment moved offshore. The other bar was generated by the shoreward movement of sediment coming from the...

  • Data Assimilation using Synthetic-Aperture Radar Imagery for Bathymetry Inversion at the Mouth of the Columbia River

    Creator:
    Harper, Spencer H.
    Abstract:
    Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) imagery can provide wavenumber and frequency data to generate bathymetry estimates for locations where limited access or extreme ocean conditions can make standard bathymetry survey techniques difficult or impossible. The availability of SAR data could allow for regular bathymetry estimates of navigational channels providing insight into dredging...

  • Evaluating safety at Oregon‘s isolated, high-speed, signalized intersections

    Creator:
    Kopper, Neil H.
    Abstract:
    Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...

  • Light-frame versus timber frame : a study in quantifying the differences

    Creator:
    Malone, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to compare light wood framing and traditional timber framing quantitatively through environmental impact assessment and load path analysis. This research was inspired by a traditional timber frame structure constructed in Vermont in 2011, and the design of structures considered within reflect the general characteristics...

  • Tsunami loading on light-frame wood structures

    Creator:
    Linton, David B.
    Abstract:
    Since 2004 there have been multiple devastating tsunamis around the globe triggered by large magnitude earthquakes; with the most recent being the Tohoku, Japan tsunami in March 2011. These tsunamis have caused significant loss of life and damage to the coastal communities impacted by these powerful waves. The resulting devastation...

  • The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...
