Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

Creator:: Wilson, Jebediah
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

An investigation into the role of spatial variability on liquefaction consequence severity

Creator:: Cary, John R.
Abstract:: During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...

Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

Creator:: Loving, Carly K.
Abstract:: To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...

A Full-Scale Experimental Investigation of the Bearing Performance of Aggregate Pier-Supported Shallow Foundations

Creator:: Martin, John P.
Abstract:: Aggregate piers have been used for centuries, with increasing occurrence in the last few decades. Their usage has been driven by land development demand and enabled through equipment and engineering improvements. Understanding the principles controlling bearing capacities and serviceability performance has been an ongoing area of interest for structures supported...

An evaluation of coastal Oregon's marginal aggregates

Creator:: Clemmons, Gregory H.
Abstract:: Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregates. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal, aggregate available for construction purposes. An evaluation of these marginal aggregates is the purpose of this paper. There are four classes of marginal rocks found on the Oregon Coast. Basalts, high in...

A review of research on shear and diagonal tension in reinforced concrete beam

Creator:: Yang, Jui-Tsung
Abstract:: Resistance of reinforced concrete beams to diagonal tension was studied in a series of papers which included beams without web reinforcement and beams with various types of web reinforcement. The magnitude of the loading causing the formation of initial diagonal tension cracks depended primarily on the dimensions of the cross...

Ground Improvement and Liquefaction Mitigation using Driven Timber Piles

Creator:: Gianella, Tygh N.
Abstract:: Seismically-induced liquefaction represents a major cause of damage to civil infrastructure and can result in significant damage following major earthquakes. Liquefaction can occur when earthquake ground motions raise pore-water pressures in loose, sandy soil, resulting in a substantial decrease of soil strength. Owing to the potential for instability following liquefaction,...

A large scale model study of placed stone breakwaters

Creator:: DeBok, Donald H.
Abstract:: The results of three hydraulic model tests to evaluate the stability of a placed stone breakwater are presented and discussed. The prototype breakwater was designed to protect offshore power and port facilities in 60 feet of water and was tested at scale ratios of 1:10, 1:20, and 1:100. The armor...
