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...

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...

Biaxial bending of concrete members with applications to prestressed concrete power poles

Creator:: Stephens, Charles Talmon
Abstract:: A method of analysis of arbitrarily shaped prestressed concrete members for biaxial bending is given. The stress-strain curve of the concrete is represented by two parabolic segments, and the effects of strain hardening of the steel are included in the analysis. An iterative numerical procedure is used to solve for...

Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

Creator:: Li, Chuan
Abstract:: Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...

An evaluation of coastal Oregon's marginal aggregates

Creator:: Clemmons, Gregory H.
Abstract:: Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregates. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal, aggregate available for construction purposes. An evaluation of these marginal aggregates is the purpose of this paper. There are four classes of marginal rocks found on the Oregon Coast. Basalts, high in...

The control and fate of enteric bacteria in the environment with particular emphasis on the factors influencing fecal indicator survival in waste storage facilities

Creator:: Crane, Stuart R.
Abstract:: The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent on the...

Enhancing Design of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Supporting Spread Footings

Creator:: Xie, Yonggui
Abstract:: Internal stability of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil (GRS) walls are conventionally assessed using lateral earth pressure methods. Determination of these pressures is a key component of limit state design as it enables determination of mobilized resisting forces in reinforcements needed to ensure stability and function of the GRS structure. However, conventional methods...
