From Perception to Planning : Adaptation in Flood-risk Communities

Creator:: Gomez, Luis A.
Abstract:: This research asserts that flood risk perception of individuals living in floodplains influences their preparedness for taking actions to protect themselves from flood hazards. The results of this research are backed up by quantitative analysis of survey responses of individuals living in floodplains of Corvallis, OR in the USA. The...

The Application of Machine Learning Techniques on Marine Science Models

Creator:: Ellenson, Ashley
Abstract:: A variety of stakeholders require information about marine systems. In the open ocean, pilots of marine vessels require knowledge about environmental conditions for safe passage and route planning. On the coastline, communities rely on information about nearshore dynamics to increase safety from coastal hazards such as nearshore pollutants, coastal erosion,...

Numerical Simulation, Laboratory and Field Experiments, Analysis and Design of Wave Energy Converter and Mooring System

Creator:: Lou, Junhui
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a wave energy converter (WEC) and evaluates the design of a WEC mooring system. The research is conducted in support of conceptual development, field test and performance evaluation of WECs as part of the mission of the Northwest National Marine Renewable...

Transportation Infrastructure to Support Bicycling in Dense Urban Environments : Design and Operational Considerations for Bicycle Lanes in Proximity to Commercial Vehicle Loading Zones

Creator:: Ghodrat Abadi, Masoud
Abstract:: While sophisticated plans have been adopted nationally and globally to increase bicycling’s share of daily commutes, safety concerns have negatively impacted targeted bicycling growth. Specifically, truck traffic plays a pivotal role in bicyclists’ perceptions of safety and comfort, because of the severe consequences of bicycle-truck collisions. Several types of engineering...

Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

Creator:: Panahi, Roshan
Abstract:: Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

Climate Change Impacts to Estuarine Hydrodynamics: Tools, Methodologies, and Predictions

Creator:: Parker, Kai A.
Abstract:: Coastal communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are rapidly engaging with the idea that hazards and environmental pressures are changing and may be characteristically different in the near future. This has led to a need for scientific knowledge and tools that can help coastal communities prepare and build resilience...

Quantifying the Relative Role of the Key Drivers of Coastal Dune Evolution: Observations and Simulations Across a Range of Time and Space Scales in Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina

Creator:: Hovenga, Paige A.
Abstract:: Coastal dunes provide a diverse set of ecosystem services including coastal protection against destructive surge and waves during storm events. Dunes are constantly evolving through various stages of response to storm events and post-storm recovery at rates that vary due to a range of drivers including pre-existing morphology, environmental forcing...

Mapping Nearshore Bathymetry with Spaceborne Data Fusion and State Space Modeling

Creator:: Forfinski-Sarkozi, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: Despite numerous techniques for measuring and estimating water depth, bathymetry in the nearshore zone is notoriously difficult to map. Dangerous sea states, noisy environmental conditions, and expensive survey operations, particularly in remote areas, contribute to the difficulties of obtaining data along the coast. Global datasets, derived mainly from satellite altimetry...

Modular Cross Laminated Timber Structures Using Underutilized Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Bhandari, Sujit
Abstract:: Conflicts and disasters displace millions of populations worldwide. There is a need for rapid and affordable housing to cater to the needs of the displaced and unhoused population. Experience from previous post-disaster responses shows that temporary housing should be rapidly deployable, planned for months to years, and should be environmentally...

Equilibrium and Non-equilibrium Thermodynamic Modeling of Cement Pastes Containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials

Creator:: Glosser, Deborah B.
Abstract:: Thermodynamic modeling of cementitious material is an established tool for predicting the hydrated phase assemblages, pore solution pH, and pore solution composition of mixtures of various chemical compositions and water-to-binder (w/b) ratios. However, traditional thermodynamic techniques have major limitations for modeling mixtures containing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), and when modeling...
