  • Boulder Transport by High Energy Surge

    Creator:
    Harry, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    Boulder transport models have been used to develop a historical record of hydrodynamic events. This is done by evaluating the size, location, and composition of boulders that have been removed from their region of formation. Boulder transport is difficult to predict, even under laboratory conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate...

  • Time-dependent deflection of Douglas fir beams in bending and shear modes

    Creator:
    Capell, Harry Thomas
    Abstract:
    Creep in wood has been observed since 1833 but only recently has it been studied quantitatively. The aim of this paper is to study the time-dependent deflections of Douglas fir, Coast Region beams in bending and shear modes. The general method of approach used is that of large scale observation....

  • Investigation of a nonwoven fabric as a reinforcement for gravel paved roads

    Creator:
    Kelsay, Harry Stanley
    Abstract:
    Full scale test roads combined with a theoretical analysis were used to evaluate the benefits of incorporating a fabric as a base course support material for gravel paved roads. One material, a synthetic, nonwoven, polypropylene fabric was used in this investigation. This fabric was used on top of the subgrade...

  • Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

    Creator:
    Bheeroo, Vivek Anand
    Abstract:
    A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

  • Tsunami inundation : estimating damage and predicting flow properties

    Creator:
    Wiebe, Dane Michael
    Abstract:
    The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events have shown the destructive power of tsunami inundation to the constructed environment in addition to the tragic loss of life. A comparable event is expected for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) which will impact the west coast of North America. Research...

  • Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

    Creator:
    Thomas, Seth Alan
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

  • Contact and impact dynamic modeling capabilities of LS-DYNA for fluid-structure interaction problems

    Creator:
    Challa, Ravi
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI plays a pivotal role in many different types of real-world situations and practical engineering applications involving large structural deformation and material or geometric...

    Ko, Harrison T.
    Abstract:
    Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, aluminum and acrylic, were tested; and each specimen was tested in two orientations, longitudinal and transverse....

  • Near-Surface Response of Beach Sand : An Experimental Investigation

    Creator:
    Adams, Rachel Katie
    Abstract:
    The near-surface region of a coastal sediment bed is complex and dynamic. At some sites, near-surface sediment deposits are susceptible to extreme events, such as tsunamis or other large overflows, which induce high shear stresses on the sediment bed. The specific properties of sediment beds subjected to such extreme loading...

  • Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

    Creator:
    Cawley, Jessica Grace
    Abstract:
    Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...
