  • Implications of Red Signal Countdown Timers on Visual Attention of Oregon Drivers

    Creator:
    Wyman, Amy A.
    Abstract:
    Red Signal Countdown Timers (RSCTs) are devices placed at intersections to inform drivers of the time remaining on a red indication before it turns green, typically to improve intersection efficiency. This study examines the visual attention of Oregon drivers to circular red (CR) indications with RSCTs as compared to standard...

  • An Examination of the Neutral Axis of Wood Beams

    Creator:
    Davis, Phillip M.
    Abstract:
    For wood beams, it is often assumed that the neutral axis is located at the centroid of the beam. The neutral axis of isotropic, homogeneous materials is located at the centroid of the material, but wood is neither isotropic nor homogeneous. The varying grain patterns and knots located throughout wood...

  • Influence of Texting on Driver Glance Patterns and Vehicular Lane Position on Horizontal Curves

    Creator:
    Ellett, Makenzie A.
    Abstract:
    The use of in-vehicle technologies, such as mobile phones, while driving has proliferated in recent years. Most notably, drivers are using mobile phones to send and receive text messages while operating a vehicle with increasing frequency. The act of texting while driving poses a significant threat not only to the...

  • Location of the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Holm, Sarah C.
    Abstract:
    It is commonly accepted that for the analysis of wood beams, the neutral axis coincides with the centroid of the beam. Although this assumption is used in analysis, wood is not an isotropic material, as it has different elastic properties in the tangential, radial and longitudinal directions, nor is it...

  • Streambed scour and redeposition behavior in streambed simulated culverts over an annual period

    Creator:
    Stewart, Anna
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to provide first order observations of bed level changes occurring in streambed simulated culverts throughout an annual period. To accomplish this, 30 culvert sites were selected in Oregon and Washington, and monitored over, at least, a 2 year period. Streambed scour and redeposition data...

  • Sustainability of Concrete in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Chaimov, Hilary
    Abstract:
    Reducing the CO2 emitted by the production of cement can greatly reduce the carbon emissions attributable to the built industry. By specifying concrete mixes with lower global warming potentials (GWPs), structural engineers can reduce the carbon emissions of concrete used in the built industry. This thesis uses a cradle-to-gate life...

  • Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

    Creator:
    Stark, Duncan
    Abstract:
    While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

  • Selection of hotels: Is the sustainability of a building more important than its aesthetic appearance?

    Creator:
    Chan, Lina
    Abstract:
    This study explores the influence that the sustainability of hotels has on the choice of hotels. Because of recent concern about global warming and reducing energy consumption, many designers are planning sustainable buildings. But often attractiveness is sacrificed for the goal of making a building sustain in its environment. The...

  • The Effectiveness of Red Light Cameras In Washington and Oregon

    Creator:
    Bradbury, Kate Elise
    Abstract:
    This study considered collision data for Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon in order to determine whether or not red light cameras are effective in reducing red light running collisions. Red light running is extremely dangerous and is a leading cause of urban automobile collisions in the United States. Red light...
