Improving Safety of the Platform-Train-Interface Through Operational and Technical Mitigation Strategies

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to provide background information and examples of best practices relating to platform-train-interface (PTI) safety. The research and information obtained for this manuscript has been in association with the A-40 project funded by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the National Academies. The purpose...

Shrinkage study of high performance concrete for bridge decks

Creator:: Fu, Tengfei
Abstract:: In the field of civil infrastructure, bridge desks are typically constructed using high performance concrete (HPC). Concrete bridge decks demand qualities such as low permeability, high abrasion resistance, superior durability, and long design life. Over decades of field and laboratory experience, many HPC bridge decks have been found to be...

A portable geographic information system used to develop an integrated facility management support system for a military installation

Creator:: Kennedy, David R. (David Richard)
Abstract:: The combination of increased training tempo due to military base closures and the reduction in military budgets have placed a severe burden on the infrastructure at many military installations and emphasized the need for an integrated facility management support system. This research involved linking existing facility, environmental, and operational data...

Pedestrian distraction : pedestrian behaviors at midblock crossings considering geometric and environmental conditions

Creator:: Kautz, Julia Anne
Abstract:: Pedestrian distraction at roadway crossings has been correlated with a higher risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions due to the pedestrian's cognitive, visual, and motor attention being drawn to a wide variety of secondary tasks. This study is different from previous field studies of pedestrian midblock crossings in that the geometric layout...

Evaluation of Driver Behavior during Right Turn Maneuvers at Signalized Intersections: Mitigation of Driver-Pedestrian Conflicts with a Right Turn Flashing Yellow Arrow

Creator:: Jashami, Hisham
Abstract:: Accommodating motor vehicles that are turning (left or right) at signalized intersections requires a careful understanding of the safety and efficiency of design and operational variables. Turning vehicles are the primary collision risk for non-motorized road users at signalized intersections. When turning movements need to be controlled, proper driver response...

Construction risks allocation : optimal risk allocation decision support model

Creator:: Alsalman, Ali Abdullah
Abstract:: It has been suggested that projects in the construction industry are subject to risks more than other industries. However, there is often little parity in allocation of risks in the construction industry. Usually, project participants allocate risks by aversion where owners tend to shift risks to the primary contractor, who...

Engineering design and analysis of pipe ramming installations

Creator:: Meskele, Tadesse
Abstract:: The trenchless technology known as pipe ramming for construction of culverts and buried pipes under roadways or other infrastructure has gained significant popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to alleviate surface disruptions associated with open-cut trenching. Although the experience with pipe ramming is increasing, there has been remarkably little...

The seismic geotechnical modeling, performance, and analysis of pile-supported wharves

Creator:: McCullough, Nason J.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the seismic performance and analysis of pile-supported wharves. Given the limited number of well-documented field case histories, the seismic performance of pile-supported wharves has been poorly quantified, and the analysis methods commonly employed in engineering practice have...

Influence of expansive soils on structures in the Eugene area

Creator:: Bonell, John Alexander
Abstract:: Expansive soils in Eugene, Oregon present a problem to residents, consultants, contractors, and the city government. During the years 1977 to 1979, the nature and extent of the problem was identified, including an outline of the local occurrence of expansive soils and possible engineering solutions to the most often encountered...

Alkali-silica reaction in concrete containing recycled concrete aggregates

Creator:: Adams, Matthew P.
Abstract:: Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete is a promising way to increase the overall sustainability of new concrete. This has been hindered, however, by a general perception that RCA is a sub-standard material due to the lack of technical guidance, specifically related...
