Safety Audits: A Comparison of Traditional Safety Audits to the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model

Creator:: Houghton, Tegan Marie
Abstract:: In the United States there are currently two different options for providing safety audits to roadway projects. Traditional audits can be conducted using procedures similar to those in the United Kingdom, or those similar to Australia and New Zealand (Austroads). Another option for conducting safety audits is to use the...

The Effects of Debris Loading on the Performance of a Tsunami Evacuation Building for Life Safety

Creator:: Snyder, Snyder
Abstract:: In recent years, tsunami events have caused great devastation and loss of life around the globe. The coast of Oregon is highly vulnerable to a nearfield tsunami event caused by a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, yet lacks a clear plan for evacuation and disaster mitigation. Vertical evacuation is a proposed...

Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Belt Usage in Oregon

Creator:: Cowgill, Brett Thomas
Abstract:: In ¬¬¬¬2009 the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration (FMCSA) conducted the “Safety Belt Usage by Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Survey” for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The survey found that, nationally, 74% of commercial truck drivers wear their safety belts at all times. In the western region of...

Driving Past the Jargon: Designing Multimedia Devices to Clarify Transportation Engineering Concepts

Creator:: Rogge, Angela Anne
Abstract:: The educational environment is filled with different types of students, all with diverse learning styles. The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator and Kolb’s Theory of Experiential Learning are generally accepted methods for determining and assessing a person’s preferred method of information processing. There has been research that suggests learning styles are specific...

Selection of hotels: Is the sustainability of a building more important than its aesthetic appearance?

Creator:: Chan, Lina
Abstract:: This study explores the influence that the sustainability of hotels has on the choice of hotels. Because of recent concern about global warming and reducing energy consumption, many designers are planning sustainable buildings. But often attractiveness is sacrificed for the goal of making a building sustain in its environment. The...

Modeling and Finite Element Analysis of a Standard Concrete Canoe

Creator:: Stache, Stephanie S.
Abstract:: This thesis project provides a guiding framework for the structural analysis portion of the National Concrete Canoe Competition (NCCC). Step-by-step instructions on how to 3-dimensionally model a “standard” sized concrete canoe in AutoCAD Civil 3D, import the model into SAP2000, and proceed to analyze the canoe with the SAP2000 finite...

Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

Creator:: Stark, Duncan
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,...

Preliminary deployment and evaluation of geophone sensors for monitoring wave activity: GeoMoteShield

Creator:: Lathrop, Eve
Abstract:: This study focuses specifically on the investigation of a new, inexpensive geophone system and its application to monitor wave activity. Studies of seismic observations of coastal cliffs suggest that ground motions generated from local ocean waves may provide a surrogate to limited wave buoy data to quantify the wave contact...

Geotechnical characterization and drained shear strength of a limestone aggregate

Creator:: Knierim, Christina D.
Abstract:: Aggregate piers are a method of ground improvement used to increase the strength and bearing capacity of the native geological soils for the support of new civil infrastructure. The understanding of the bearing failure mechanism of aggregate piers remains largely unstudied. The effects of design variables in the failure mechanisms...
