  • Sound and Vibration Analysis of Alternative Rumble Strips

    Creator:
    Horne, Dylan Ross
    Abstract:
    Roadway departure crashes accounted for 18,275 fatal crashes in 2017 across the United States (Jones et al. 2017). Rumble strips (RS) provide audible and haptic interior alert when a vehicle is departing the roadway reducing run-off-the road crashes. Although inexpensive to install, and easy to maintain, RS are not installed...

  • Investigating Accelerated Carbonation Methods for Sequestering CO₂ into Lime Treated Soils

    Creator:
    Moore, Jaxom
    Abstract:
    Civil engineers frequently use lime to improve the mechanical properties of weak clayey soils. The production of lime is associated with significant CO₂ emissions. Sequestering carbon dioxide into the stabilized soil can effectively reduce the carbon footprint of the lime. In the presence of CO₂, unreacted lime in the stabilized...

  • Simulation of Heat Transfer Through Soil for the Investigation of Wildfire Impacts on Buried Utilities

    Creator:
    Richter, Edward G.
    Abstract:
    Wildland urban interface (WUI) communities in the Western United States have recently dealt with historic and devastating wildfires year after year. The fires have cost tens of billions in damage, burned tens of thousands of structures, displaced thousands of residents, and killed over one hundred people. The 2017 Tubbs fire...

  • Monotonic and Cyclic Testing of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms

    Creator:
    Beairsto, Cody J.
    Abstract:
    Mass timber is emerging as a viable form of construction around the world in new markets for wood buildings. The entrance into these markets has driven the demand for more knowledge to enable designs alongside other structural materials such as steel and reinforced concrete. Large, in-plane tests on cross-laminated timber...

  • Alternate Methods for the Extraction and Measurement of Pore Solution in Fresh Concrete

    Creator:
    Biever, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of the pore solution composition and pore solution resistivity can be helpful for determining the durability of concrete structures. Most notably, pore solution resistivity can be used in the calculation of the formation factor of concrete, which is a ratio of the electrical resistivities of concrete and its pore...

  • Improving Braced Frame Modeling Application

    Creator:
    Groshong, Corey
    Abstract:
    This work analyzes the numerical curvature of buckling braces. An existing brace modeling learning tool, which in its current state allows users to change the inputs within a simulated model of a braced element, was modified to display the curvature diagram. The curvature diagram was verified through comparison to existing...
