  • An investigation of Oregon weight-in-motion data for bridge rating implementation and evaluation

    Creator:
    Pelphrey, Jordan Michael
    Abstract:
    The LRFR Manual, within commentary Article C6.4.4.2.3, contains provisions for development of site-specific live load factors. In Oregon, truck Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) data were used to develop live load factors for use on state-owned bridges. The factors were calibrated using the same statistical methods that were used in the original development...

  • Evaluation of estuarine channel conditions in Coos Bay, Oregon using side-scan sonar

    Creator:
    Hartman, Gregory L.
    Abstract:
    Side-scan sonar records in Oregon's Coos Bay estuary navigation channels were obtained at intervals of two to three months during the November 1974 - October 1975 time period from Coos Bay Channel Mile 11+50 to 15+20, and from a reach in the Marshfield Channel. A limited side-scan survey effort was...

  • Static and Wave Equation Analyses and Development of Region-specific Resistance Factors for Driven Piles

    Creator:
    Bougataya, Youssef
    Abstract:
    This study uses an existing database of dynamic loading tests of driven piles installed in the Puget Sound Lowlands to improve the reliability of axial performance. First, the unit shaft resistances developed from stress wave signal matching to dynamic records of pile installation are used to develop an effective stress-based...

  • Hybridized framing to modify load paths and enhance wood shearwall performance

    Creator:
    Bultena, Sarah M.
    Abstract:
    Heavy timber framing relies primarily on bracing to withstand lateral loads due to earthquakes and wind events. Bracing configurations in heavy timber framed buildings vary widely and include cross bracing, knee bracing, and other geometries. Many heavy timber frames constructed during colonial American times are still standing, exceeding the expected...

  • Right-hook crash causality at signalized intersections

    Creator:
    Jannat, Mafruhatul
    Abstract:
    A Right-hook (RH) crash is a common type of bicycle-motor vehicle crash that occurs between a right-turning vehicle and through-moving bicycle at an intersection. At signalized intersections, RH crashes can occur at the onset of the green or during the latter portion of the green phase. In spite of the...

  • A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

    Creator:
    Barlow, Zachary Wesley
    Abstract:
    State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...

  • Chromium (VI) sorption in soils : chemical behavior and solute transport modeling

    Creator:
    Schroth, Martin Herbert
    Abstract:
    Chromium spills on soils are causing severe groundwater contamination problems. To increase the performance of cleanup methods, the chemical behavior of chromium in soils and its transport through soils have to be understood. The objectives of this research were to investigate the sorption characteristics of chromium(VI) in soil and to...

  • Random wave forces on cylinders

    Creator:
    Hsu, Ming-kuang
    Abstract:
    The in-line force power spectrum is predicted by the frequency domain maximum force coefficient [C[subscript μn](z,f[subscript n])] vs. Keulegan-Carpenter number [K[subscript n] (z,f[subscript n])] relationship. The frequency domain Keulegan- Carpenter number is defined as the velocity from the amplitude spectrum at f divided by the respective frequency and diameter of...

  • Probabilistic Geospatial Analyses, Uncertainty Modeling, and Mapping of Seismically-induced Ground Failures

    Creator:
    Sharifi Mood, Mahyar
    Abstract:
    Ground failures, in particular landsliding, liquefaction and lateral spreading can be triggered by seismic sources. The frequency, magnitude, and impact of these ground failures are highly dependent on the topography and geology of the site including its slope, depositional environment, and geotechnical properties as well as the proximity of the...

  • A model for simulation of subsurface transport of highway-related water quality constituents

    Creator:
    Hesse, Edwin Todd
    Abstract:
    A spreadsheet-based transport model was developed in Microsoft Excel™ as part of a six-year National Cooperative Highway Research Program project conducted at Oregon State University. The model simulated the leaching, transport, removal, and retardation processes that occur in the surface and subsurface pathways of the near highway environment. For all...
