  • 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....

  • Airphoto analysis of estuarine circulation

    Creator:
    Weise, Harry Gordon
    Abstract:
    Aerial photography has become a valuable method of acquiring information on estuarine current circulation patterns. The method provides a comprehensive picture of nearly simultaneous surface water movements. It represents a significant improvement over conventional surface float and current meter methods because large areas may be covered in great detail with...

  • 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...

  • The Effects of Debris Loading on the Performance of a Tsunami Evacuation Building for Life Safety

    Creator:
    Snyder, Snyder
    Abstract:
    In recent years, tsunami events have caused great devastation and loss of life around the globe. The coast of Oregon is highly vulnerable to a nearfield tsunami event caused by a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, yet lacks a clear plan for evacuation and disaster mitigation. Vertical evacuation is a proposed...

  • Experimental study of counter-propagating solitary wave collisions

    Creator:
    Chen, Yongshuai
    Abstract:
    To better understand the extreme local amplification of tsunami, the experimental investigation on counter-propagating solitary wave collisions over a horizontal bottom was conducted using the optical measurement techniques: Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), and Laser Induced Fluoresce (LIF). Head-on collisions and oblique collisions of equal-amplitude as well as unequal-amplitude waves were...

  • Three Topics on Coastal Hazards : Propagation, Transformation, and Impact

    Creator:
    Ko, Harrison T.
    Abstract:
    An understanding of natural coastal hazards is essential for improving resilience of coastal communities. Effective management of coastal hazards relies on prediction tools and mitigation structures that have been designed to handle the dynamic coastal system. This dissertation is a collection of manuscripts that cover a diverse range of fundamental...

  • 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...

  • Amplification of solitary waves along a vertical wall

    Creator:
    Li, Wenwen
    Abstract:
    Reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall is studied experimentally in the laboratory wave tank. Precision measurements of water-surface variations are achieved with the aid of laser-induced fluorescent (LIF) technique and detailed temporal and spatial features of the Mach reflection are captured. During the development stage...

  • Effects of Wave Nonlinearity and Vertical Variation of Vegetation Density on Wave Attenuation

    Creator:
    Wu, Wei-Cheng
    Abstract:
    The understanding and prediction how coastal wetland vegetation attenuates wave action has received renewed attention with global climate change impacts and increasing populations on coastlines. Conventional attenuation models utilize empirical drag coefficients, but these coefficients exhibit a wide range of values, and there is some uncertainty in the relative importance...
