Multi-hazard Damage and Loss Assessment of Bridge Networks

Creator:: Burns, Patrick O.
Abstract:: The overarching objective of this study is to examine and compare the vulnerabilities of bridges combining effects of earthquake-induced ground shaking, ground failure (e.g., landslides and lateral spreading), and tsunami inundation. A parametric study is performed to understand the sensitivity of economic loss and traffic capacity with respect to the...

Adsorption of hexavalent and trivalent chromium to a clayey silt soil : batch kinetic and equilibrium studies

Creator:: Bean, Gregory R.
Abstract:: Chromium, an element of widespread use, is toxic in some forms. Improper disposal of waste chromium products has resulted in contamination of many sites throughout the United States, including the United Chrome Products Superfund site in Corvallis, Oregon. A better understanding of chromium chemistry is needed to facilitate the remediation...

The Effects of Temperature on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Concrete

Creator:: Coyle, Alex T.
Abstract:: Measuring resistivity as a method to calculate formation factor is becoming a popular way to evaluate transport properties of concrete. Resistivity measurements are dependent on multiple factors including the resistivity of the pore solution, leaching effects, the degree of saturation of the specimen, the age of the specimen (degree of...

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...

Development of a priority rating system for highway safety improvements

Creator:: Iranitalab, Farhad
Abstract:: This thesis presents the procedure adopted to develop the priority rating system for highway safety improvements. Safety hazards are classified into four categories: (1) Railroad crossings, (2) Intersections, (3) Geometric-Related Hazards, and (4) Roadside Hazards. For each category of hazards, relationships are developed to obtain a hazard index and expected...

The evaluation and selection of highway safety improvements for local jurisdictions

Creator:: Haq, Asif Jinnah
Abstract:: Many hazardous locations exist on our local and street highway systems. Such hazards contribute to the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. The elimination and mitigation of the hazards reduces accident frequency and severity, as measured by the number of fatalities, injuries and property damage resulting from the accidents. The...

Indirect parameter identification algorithm in radial coordinates for a porous medium

Creator:: Roley, Kenneth L.
Abstract:: The decision to bury high level nuclear wastes in deep geological formations led to the study of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as one of three possible sites for the first nuclear waste repository in the United States. To adequately evaluate the environmental impact of siting nuclear waste repositories in basalt...

Measuring and Correcting the Electrical Resistivity of Concrete Pore Solution in Fresh Mixtures

Creator:: Biever, Joseph H.
Abstract:: A vital aspect of concrete construction is quality assurance and control (QA/QC). Engineered structures must meet pre-determined and agreed-upon strength and durability requirements. Concrete falls into a specific category of infrastructure material because in most cases, these strength and durability requirements cannot be found until the material has at least...
