  • Stabilization of landslides along the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Prestedge, Gordon Kendall
    Abstract:
    The northern Oregon coast suffers extensive loss of land as a result of landslides which constitute the primary mechanism of coastline recession. Both real property and structures along the coast have been destroyed and this destruction will continue. In certain instances, it may be feasible to protect property by engineered...

  • Economic analysis for a toll facility

    Creator:
    Koh, Kwang Sun
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an economic analysis for a proposed toll road which is to separate different types of traffic such as pedestrians, slow speed vehicles and high speed motor vehicles, and to divert through traffic from the local roads. The use of a toll road usually provides significant savings in...

  • A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

    Creator:
    Thompson, Duane Melvin
    Abstract:
    Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...

  • The static and dynamic analysis of discretely represented moorings and cables by numerical means

    Creator:
    Dominguez, Richard Frank
    Abstract:
    Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...

  • Transport and adsorption of proteinanceous particles during flow through porous media

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Tokuo
    Abstract:
    This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act. The differential equation for the...

  • Behavior of a circular cell bulkhead during construction

    Creator:
    Khuayjarernpanishk, Thanasarn
    Abstract:
    A single cell in a 12 cell bulkhead was instrumented to observe its behavior and confirm design assumptions during construction. Vibrating wire strain gages were employed to measure horizontal strains in sheetpiling webs. These were converted to interlock force at eight locations and three elevations around the cell. The deformed...

  • 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...

  • A manual for plate loading tests performed on rock

    Creator:
    Dodds, Donald J.
    Abstract:
    Plate loading tests in rock are deceptively simple tests to perform. Consequently, many varieties have been developed in the past 60 years. From each of the varieties various investigators have added their own developments and modifications, some good, and some not so good. The result has been a confusion of...

  • Penetration resistance predictions for driven piling

    Creator:
    Hansen, Lawrence A.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a method of predicting penetration resistance for driven piles, using known driving records for driving the same type piling in similar subsurface conditions. As known driving records are not always available to the analyst, a method was also investigated using soil data only. The analytical tools employed...
