  • Disposal of sandy pipeline dredge spoils by end dumping

    Creator:
    Pyles, Marvin Russell
    Abstract:
    Channel maintenance operations in the rivers and harbors of the United States annually require the disposal of over 320 million cubic meters of dredge spoils. As the availability of suitable land sites diminishes, open water disposal presents an attractive yet controversial alternative method. For open water disposal to be acceptable,...

  • Modeling hydraulic dredge spoil fate

    Creator:
    Tseng, Ying-chuan
    Abstract:
    Hydraulic dredging is and most certainly will remain a primary means of maintaining and improving ship channels and for land reclamation in near-shore water. The study of which this thesis describes a part is intended to develop a method of predetermining the immediate disposition of sand spoils from hydraulic dredging...

  • Assessing the knowledge of county extension agents on geotextile applications for agricultural practices in Oregon and Idaho

    Creator:
    Brown, Linda Lee
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to assess county extension agents' knowledge of geotextiles; to determine their current level of information and their location on an adoption-diffusion curve; and to determine the agents' attitudes toward the potential use of geotextiles in agriculture, specifically in soil erosion control. A questionnaire was...

  • Engineering properties of Oregon and Washington coast range soils

    Creator:
    Alto, Jalmer V.
    Abstract:
    Landslides are frequent in the steep forested regions of the Oregon and Washington coastal mountain ranges. The need for forest products has resulted in increasing logging activity in these marginally stable areas. The occurrence of landslides has increased, which in turn has focused greater interest in slope stability management. Of...

  • Prediction of low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete mixtures with thermal stress restrained specimen test results

    Creator:
    Kanerva, Hannele K.
    Abstract:
    Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in an asphalt concrete pavement that develop when the pavement is subjected to a cold temperature. Cracking results in poor ride quality and a reduction in service life of the pavement. Low temperature cracking has been predicted by regression equations, mechanistic...

  • Techniques for identifying flood plains in Oregon

    Creator:
    Reckendorf, Frank Fred
    Abstract:
    Seven methods for delineating flood plains were evaluated. The methods are classified : (1) Geomorphic Technique; (2) Soils Technique; (3) Botanical Technique; (4) Hydrologic Technique; (5) Hydrologic- Hydraulic Technique; (6) Historical Technique; and (7) "Combination Method". All of the methods, except the Botanical Technique and the Hydrologic-Hydraulic Technique, were compared...
