Effects of Ground Failure on Bridges, Roads, and Railroads

Creator:: Ledezma, Christian, Hutchinson, Tara, Ashford, Scott A., Moss, Robb, Arduino, Pedro, Bray, Jonathan D., Olson, Scott, Hashash, Youssef M. A., Verdugo, Ramon, Frost, David, Kayen, Robert, and Rollins, Kyle
Abstract:: The long duration and strong velocity content of the motions produced by the 27 February 2010 Maule earthquake resulted in widespread liquefaction and lateral spreading in several urban and other regions of Chile. In particular, critical lifeline structures such as bridges, roadway embankments, and railroads were damaged by ground shaking...

Development of a test method for assessing water repellency and derived physical stability of preservative systems for railroad ties

Creator:: Beck, H. Greeley
Abstract:: Resistance to moisture uptake is an important attribute of some wood preservatives and can help reduce moisture cycling that leads to the development of deep checks. While the potential for preservative treatments to help improve wood/moisture interactions is acknowledged, there are no tests that specifically evaluate this performance parameter. Checking...

Marine bird colony and at-sea distributions along the Oregon coast: Implications for marine spatial planning and information gap analysis

Creator:: Suryan, Robert M., Phillips, Elizabeth M., So, Khemarith, Zamon, Jeannette E., Lowe, Roy W., and Stephensen, Shawn W.
Abstract:: Increasingly diverse interests in commercial and recreational use of marine resources are creating new challenges for coastal ocean management. One concern of increased offshore use and development off the Oregon coast is the potential impact on marine bird populations. We summarized the primary surveys of seabird breeding colonies and at-sea...

Testing the effectiveness of an acoustic deterrent for grey whales along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Lagerquist, Barbara, Windsor, Martha, and Mate, Bruce
Abstract:: This study was conducted to determine whether a low-powered sound source could be effective at deterring gray whales from areas that may prove harmful to them. With increased interest in the development of marine renewal energy along the Oregon coast the concern that such development may pose a collision or...

Essays on the effect of product recalls and mergers on firm performance

Creator:: Yan, Wenfeng
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the effect of endogenous and exogenous events on firm behavior and performance. These are fundamental questions in economics. The contribution of this study is threefold. First, it provides estimates of the impact of mergers on railroad efficiency, which has important antitrust implications. Second, it provides new estimates...
