Remote Sensing Tools for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Environments

Creator:: Herrmann, Joan F.
Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Application of Technologies for Temporary Structures during the Design and Construction Phases

Creator:: Jin, Ziyu
Abstract:: The development of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), light detection and ranging (lidar), and sensor-based systems poses new opportunities for researchers to rethink how construction safety and health can be approached during the design, planning, and construction phases of a project. Nevertheless, the majority of the technology applications...

Use of Controlled Blasting to Quantify the Dynamic, In-Situ, Nonlinear Inelastic Response of Soils

Creator:: Jana, Amalesh
Abstract:: The seismic response of deep deposits of liquefiable and cyclic-softening susceptible soils has presented the geotechnical profession with significant engineering challenges. Strong ground motions may serve to soften soils under cyclic shear, trigger liquefaction, and produce damaging displacements as a consequence. This study improves the understanding of the in-situ, nonlinear,...

GOSEP: Georeferenced Oregon Soil Engineering Properties

Creator:: Dutille, Victoria L.
Abstract:: Geotechnical engineers design and analyze the interface between the natural and built environments, often based on uncertain and inherently variable data due to the nature of the building material, soil. Engineers must estimate the subsurface conditions at a site using historical, in-situ, and laboratory testing data. However, only discrete representative...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

Creator:: Stark, William D.
Abstract:: The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Web-based Deep Segmentation of Building Structure

Creator:: Chen, Zehuan
Abstract:: Deep learning and neural network has been widely used in research, deep learning has empowered many tasks such as point clouds segmentation and shape recognition. One of the main advantages of deep interaction point cloud segmentation is that it allows the feature extraction can be learned through neural network based...

Of Planes and Plumblines: Map Projections and Differential Leveling in a GNSS-based 3D Geodetic Framework

Creator:: Dennis, Michael L.
Abstract:: Modern geospatial data are frequently represented in some type of three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system, for example geodetic latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height (φ, λ, h) derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). But for engineering and surveying work, φ, λ, h coordinates are usually converted to a topocentric system consisting...

Improving Interlayer Bond Quality with Engineered Tack Coats under Adverse Construction Conditions: A Laboratory and Field Investigation

Creator:: Wruck, Blaine M.
Abstract:: Tack coat emulsion, comprised of asphalt binder, water and emulsifying agents, is an interlayer membrane applied before asphalt pavement construction, which helps pavement layers bond together and permeate stresses and strains induced by heavy wheel loads through the entire thickness of the pavement structure. Proper interlayer bonding aids in preventing...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Engineering Inspections and Geospatial Mapping

Creator:: Javadnejad, Farid
Abstract:: Small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) carrying consumer-grade nonmetric cameras are increasingly utilized to generate high-resolution 3D geospatial data. Low cost, ease of operation, widespread availability and low altitude maneuvering capabilities of UAS, as well as the rapid development of technology and methods, make UAS-based photogrammetry applicable to many civil engineering...

Blast-induced liquefaction : observational estimation of vibration, settlement and residual pore water pressure

Creator:: Kato, Kengo
Abstract:: The blast technique has been used as an effective soil improvement method to compact loose coarse-granular soils since 1930s, and the use of the blast technique is extended as an application of in-situ liquefaction testing to investigate the performance of full scale foundations and countermeasures against liquefaction in recent decades....
