  • Effect of subduction zone earthquakes on SDOF bridge models

    Creator:
    Long, Yicheng
    Abstract:
    Current bridge design codes do not account for the effects of duration of mega-thrust subduction zone earthquakes. Furthermore, codes and even recent performance-based design methodologies only make use of the peak response quantities (forces, displacements, and ductility demands) and do not account for the increased number of inelastic cycles that...

  • Modeling shallow-water hydrodynamics : rotations, rips, and rivers

    Creator:
    Long, Joseph W.
    Abstract:
    Hydrodynamic models are used as a diagnostic tool to understand the temporal variability of shallow-water processes that are difficult to completely resolve with traditional field measurements. For all simulations, modeled quantities are qualitatively or quantitatively compared with available measurements to gain confidence in conclusions derived from the modeled results. In...

  • Fractal solutions to the long wave equations

    Creator:
    Ajiwibowo, Harman
    Abstract:
    The fractal dimension of measured ocean wave profiles is found to be in the range of 1.5-1.8. This non-integer dimension indicates the fractal nature of the waves. Standard formulations to analyze waves are based on a differential approach. Since fractals are non-differentiable, this formulation fails for waves with fractal characteristics....

  • Chaos in a long rectangular wave channel

    Creator:
    Bowline, Cynthia M.
    Abstract:
    The Melnikov method is applied to a model of parametrically generated cross-waves in a long rectangular channel in order to determine if these cross-waves are chaotic. A great deal of preparation is involved in order to obtain a suitable form for the application of the Melnikov method. The Lagrangian for...

  • Devising Theatre: Experience as Art

    Creator:
    Parham, Anne A
    Abstract:
    Any work of literature is a product of its time revealing truths about its culture. My thesis explores how pre-selected inspiration, personal experiences, and current events play a role in the devising process of a script. The inspiration for this particular devised play is Letters to a Young Poet by...

  • Performance-based seismic design of light-frame shearwalls

    Creator:
    Kim, Jun Hee
    Abstract:
    Performance-based design has gained interest in recent years among structural designers and researchers. Performance-based design includes selection of appropriate building sites, structural systems and configurations, as well as analytical procedures used in the design process, to confirm that the structure has adequate strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity to respond...

    Creator:
    Keshari, Shweta
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the consequence of a research effort undertaken by the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University and funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The principal objective of the effort was to reduce the life cycle cost...

  • Load sharing and system factors for light-frame wall systems

    Creator:
    Yu, Guangren
    Abstract:
    A considerable amount of research has focused on load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wood floor systems subject to transverse loading. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate load-sharing and system effects in repetitive-member wall systems which may be subject to combined transverse and gravity (vertical) loading, and...

  • Development of an improved system for Oregon to accurately quantify dense-graded hot mix asphalt pavement density

    Creator:
    Darra, Suraj
    Abstract:
    The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) standard specifications require a minimum density for the construction of dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. Currently, the standard specifications call for density measurements for quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) testing to be made using nuclear density gauges that are calibrated using...
