Evaluation of straw wattle placement and surficial slope stability

Creator:

Rikli, Anthony M.

Abstract:

Straw wattles are common erosion control devices used to trap sediment. This thesis studies the relationship of straw wattles on slope stability through a case study demonstrating their use on steep slopes (1.5H:1V) for the US20 highway realignment project. Several surficial slope failures have occurred on these fill slopes, often...

Masters Thesis
Predicting pore pressure response in in-situ liquefaction studies using controlled blasting

Creator:

Eller, James Michael

Abstract:

Originally used as a method to densify loose soils, controlled blasting has expanded its applicability to geotechnical engineering by becoming a research tool to physically generate liquefaction for full-scale in-situ tests, ranging from seismic performance of deep foundations to evaluating ground improvement techniques. Current methods used to design the blasting...

Masters Thesis
A Regional-Scale Three-Dimensional Susceptibility Model for Enhanced Evaluation of Rainfall- and Seismically-Induced Landsliding

Creator:

Mathews, Nicolas

Abstract:

Shallow landslides are destructive natural hazards that result in widespread losses, both of infrastructure and lives, throughout the world. To help mitigate the impact of landslide hazards, they are commonly characterized across a regional scale by (1) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (2) their magnitude and frequency using...
