The effects of nail bending-yield stress and biological deterioration on the cyclic performance of shearwalls

Creator:: Anderson, Erin N.
Abstract:: Key parts of the lateral force resisting system in wood-frame buildings are the shearwafls and the connections. The connections in wooden buildings are the primary source of ductility and energy dissipation; these are essential properties when buildings are exposed to lateral forces, such as wind and earthquakes. Shearwall design is...

Application of quality function deployment in the conceptual design of a construction project

Creator:: Hinkle, Verda O.
Abstract:: Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development process that assures the needs and desires of the customer are heard and heeded during the design, development and production of a product. Though it has been used successfully in other industries, only a few companies in the U. S. Engineering and...

Remote Sensing Tools for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Environments

Creator:: Herrmann, Joan F.
Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...

Assessment and Service Life Prediction of Microbial Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC)

Creator:: Sahan, Feyza N.
Abstract:: Microbial-induced corrosion of concrete (MICC) is a multi-stage deterioration process caused by microbial activity in wastewater infrastructure. MICC is a worldwide issue due to the reduced service life of the wastewater infrastructure and the economic impact associated with increased maintenance and reconstruction costs. This thesis explores two critical aspect of...

A Comparison of Formation Factor to Standard Methods to Evaluate Transport Properties

Creator:: Whatley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Chloride-induced corrosion is one of the primary causes of the degradation of reinforced steel in concrete structures. Currently, the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) is the most specified method to determine the concrete’s resistivity to chloride ingress, thus a determining factor in assessing the durability of concrete. While it is...

Effect of electron donors on the reductive dechlorination of trichlorofluoroethylene in anaerobic microcosms and in situ push-pull tests

Creator:: Louie, Erika N.
Abstract:: This research focuses on the anaerobic transformation of trichloroethylene (TCE) that is occurring in the subsurface of the Evanite site in Corvallis, OR. Two anaerobic studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron donors during the anaerobic degradation of trichlorofluoroethylene (TCFE), and...

Unmanned aircraft systems for bridge inspection : testing and developing end-to-end operational workflow

Creator:: Gillins, Matthew N.
Abstract:: Bridge inspections are vital for monitoring the health and serviceability of transportation infrastructure throughout the world. However, inspections can be logistically-challenging, expensive, and dangerous. For example, inspections may require climbing, as well as the use of scaffolding, ladders, rescue boats, bucket trucks, and/or under-bridge inspection vehicles. Small, multirotor unmanned aircraft...

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,...

Weather and large waves along the Oregon coast: atmospheric controls on a numerical wave model

Creator:: Ellenson, Ashley N.
Abstract:: In this study, the effects of implementing different wind input or physics packages in a numerical wave model to recreate large wave conditions are explored. Three large wave events are simulated with WaveWatch III. The wind inputs which are compared are NCEP's Global Forecasting System (GFS) with 0.5 degree resolution...

The Statistical and Econometric Analyses of the Impacts of Covid-19 on Truck Driver Behavior

Creator:: Velasquez, Brianna N.
Abstract:: The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the restrictions implemented in response to it (e.g., stay-at-home orders, social distancing mandates, business closures) had unprecedented effects on the trucking industry. The pandemic prompted the first significant overhaul of federal hours-of-service (HOS) regulations in over 15 years. Prior to the...
