Abstract:: For centuries wood has served as a primary structural building material in small dwelling, large communal structures, bridges, and temporary structures. Even today wood is the dominant material in residential construction. Despite this long standing use of wood, non-residential multi-story construction in light of the green building revolution has yet...

Creator:: Walter, Jakob R.
Abstract:: Compacted aggregate trenches are a method of soil improvement that could be substituted for commonly used aggregate piers in certain geometrical arrangements of shallow foundations. However, this type of ground improvement has little research to support the understanding of their contribution to improved strength of an unimproved clay soil. This...

Abstract:: Knowledge of the pore solution composition and pore solution resistivity can be helpful for determining the durability of concrete structures. Most notably, pore solution resistivity can be used in the calculation of the formation factor of concrete, which is a ratio of the electrical resistivities of concrete and its pore...

Abstract:: Red Signal Countdown Timers (RSCTs) are devices placed at intersections to inform drivers of the time remaining on a red indication before it turns green, typically to improve intersection efficiency. This study examines the visual attention of Oregon drivers to circular red (CR) indications with RSCTs as compared to standard...

Abstract:: While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

Abstract:: The objective of this study was to provide first order observations of bed level changes occurring in streambed simulated culverts throughout an annual period. To accomplish this, 30 culvert sites were selected in Oregon and Washington, and monitored over, at least, a 2 year period. Streambed scour and redeposition data...

Creator:: Bradbury, Kate Elise
Abstract:: This study considered collision data for Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon in order to determine whether or not red light cameras are effective in reducing red light running collisions. Red light running is extremely dangerous and is a leading cause of urban automobile collisions in the United States. Red light...
