  • 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...

  • Common Factors that Affect Aesthetics in Bridge Design

    Creator:
    Coe, Jennifer J.
    Abstract:
    Aesthetics should be emphasized as much as possible in a design project without exceeding scope, budget, or schedule to satisfy the stakeholders involved. There is a rising trend of increased emphasis on aesthetics. This trend of using various techniques to help structures blend in or contribute to the surrounding environment...

  • A preliminary assessment of post-fire dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Hyatt, Charles
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, the occurrence of large, high severity wildfires has increased substantially in many parts of the world, including the western United States. These fires have the potential to impact water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and downstream communities for many decades. As such, it is increasingly important to understand the...

  • The impact of powered mobility use on expressive communication development of young children with disabilities

    Creator:
    Morrison, Zoe
    Abstract:
    While the use of powered mobility devices for young children with mobility challenges has taken off in recent years following evidence that the use of powered mobility at a young age augments other traditional mobility skill interventions, the research is still limited and focuses on physical impacts more. Recently, the...

  • Carbonation of Mid-Twentieth Century Reinforced Concrete Bridges in Oregon

    Creator:
    Folkestad, Jill Louise
    Abstract:
    Carbonation of Carbon is of concern for reinforced concrete bridges. While long-term environmental deterioration of structures is unavoidable, protective design allows a structure to fulfill its service life without any significant serviceability or strength loss due to deterioration. Understanding the process of concrete carbonation and the effect it has on...

  • Impact of Classification Algorithms on Modeling Forest Ground from Point Clouds

    Creator:
    Heine, Carver
    Abstract:
    Projects in forestry and civil engineering depend on accurate information, which is often acquired through remote sensing techniques. One of the remote sensing technologies that has gained importance in the last decade is light detection and ranging (lidar), which describes the surveyed area with 3D points, presented as point clouds....

  • 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,...

  • An Examination of the Neutral Axis of Wood Beams

    Creator:
    Davis, Phillip M.
    Abstract:
    For wood beams, it is often assumed that the neutral axis is located at the centroid of the beam. The neutral axis of isotropic, homogeneous materials is located at the centroid of the material, but wood is neither isotropic nor homogeneous. The varying grain patterns and knots located throughout wood...
