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...

Testing and evaluation of flexural reinforcing bars terminating in columns

Creator:: Koester, Carl C.
Abstract:: Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...

Region-Specific Investigation of the Cone Penetration Test for Preliminary Classification and Estimation of Preconsolidation Stress, Undrained Shear Strength, and Cyclic Resistance of Transitional Silts

Creator:: Ortiz, Susan Christine
Abstract:: The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) has been widely-adopted for rapid, cost-effective exploration of the subsurface and reduction in the effort associated with drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing of soil. The adoption of the CPT has stemmed in part to the correlation of measurements to preliminary soil classification, stress history, drained...

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...

Wave-by-wave Forecasting of Sea Surface Elevation for WEC Applications Utilizing NARX Neural Networks

Creator:: Gillespie, Alice
Abstract:: Forecasting of ocean waves over a short duration on the order of tens of seconds was approached with the optimization of wave energy conversion in mind. This study outlines the development of an artificial neural network model, specifically the Nonlinear Autoregressive Network with Exogenous Input (NARX), to predict a wave-by-wave...

Consumptive use of surface water by Willamette Basin municipalities

Creator:: Mittelstadt, Richard Lee
Abstract:: The consumptive water use of six cities in the Willamette Basin of northwestern Oregon was evaluated for the period 1960-66. Consumptive use ratios were obtained by analyzing data from monthly water supply and sewage flow records. The average annual consumptive use for the six cities was found to be 26...

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,...
