Direction, method, and model for implementing design for construction worker safety in the US

Creator:: Tymvios, Nicholas
Abstract:: The construction industry employs about 7% of the total US workforce, and yet it accounts for 15.7% of all occupational fatalities. Specifically in 2011, there were 721 deaths in construction, second only to transportation with 733. The cause of a large number of these construction deaths can be attributed to...

Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

Creator:: Toman, Elizabeth Myers
Abstract:: Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

Engineering Services of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Investigation of the Land-Building and Energy-Attenuating Properties of SAV Habitats Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Holzenthal, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) species, such as seagrasses, are highly valued in estuaries because of the many economic, ecological, and cultural services that they provide, including shelter for fisheries, minimizing water turbidity, and improving am-bient water quality. SAV can also alter its physical environment by attenuating wave and current velocities,...

Reliability-based Serviceability Limit State Design Procedures for Shallow Foundations

Creator:: Huffman, Jonathan C.
Abstract:: Reliability-based geotechnical foundation design focusses on soil and structure analysis that meets necessary safety, performance and/or serviceability criteria, calibrated based on probabilistic analyses and an accepted level of risk. As the civil engineering community seeks to better harmonize geotechnical and structural design methodologies, reliability-based design is being incorporated more into...

Evaluation of alternate surfacing systems for temporary and intermittent use roads

Creator:: Takallou, Mojtaba B.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to provide the USDA-Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and other agencies or industries that may deal with temporary and intermittent use roads with the necessary background information for the identification, economic evaluation, and selection of the alternate surfacing systems and to determine...

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...

The effect of elevated temperature on mechanical behavior of structural wood and wood-based composites

Creator:: Sinha, Arijit
Abstract:: Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...

A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

Creator:: Lee, Chyuan-shen
Abstract:: A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

Multi-Scale Dynamic Monitoring and Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Elements and Systems

Creator:: Mugabo, Ignace
Abstract:: Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is one of the latest engineered wood products to show promising structural features for a variety of structural purposes including resisting lateral loads. For CLT to be widely adopted, its modal behavior needs to be fully evaluated through experimental and numerical methods. It is important to the...

Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls with Toe-Screwed and Slip-Friction Connections

Creator:: Fitzgerald, Dillon M.
Abstract:: Timber engineering is currently in the midst of a significant evolution due to the rise of mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT). Increasing numbers of structural engineers are facing the challenge of designing lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) for multistory CLT structures. LFRS solutions such as steel frames, concrete cores, or...
