  • Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

    Creator:
    Brown, Tovey M.
    Abstract:
    Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...

  • GOSEP: Georeferenced Oregon Soil Engineering Properties

    Creator:
    Dutille, Victoria L.
    Abstract:
    Geotechnical engineers design and analyze the interface between the natural and built environments, often based on uncertain and inherently variable data due to the nature of the building material, soil. Engineers must estimate the subsurface conditions at a site using historical, in-situ, and laboratory testing data. However, only discrete representative...

  • Hydrodynamic loads on fiber-optic micro cables

    Creator:
    Evans, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    A Finite Element Model of a deployed Fiber-Optic Micro Cable (FOMC) was performed using the marine cable modeling software, OrcaFlex. The focus of this study was a parametric analysis of a two-part, towed cable array with the FOMC dragged behind a depressor and connected to a drogue chute. Length-to-diameter ratios...
