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...

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...

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...

Creator:: Anderson, Tyler P.
Abstract:: This study utilizes probabilistic surrogate modeling techniques around San Diego Bay with an emphasis on naval infrastructure and operations to evaluate the impact of five global mean sea level rise scenarios (GMSLR). Spatially continuous total water levels (TWLs) are combined with a digital elevation model (DEM) of the region to...

Creator:: Sarkar, Anika T.
Abstract:: The goal of the first part of this project was to investigate the influence of aggregate source and entrained air on the transport properties of concrete. Currently, there are several ASTM standards available that provide systematic procedures to evaluate mass transport properties of concrete. ASTM C642-13 (ASTM 2013), often referred...

Creator:: Thompson, Lucas E.
Abstract:: As ecoroofs have become more widespread throughout the U.S., it has become increasingly important to understand their structural behavior. The purpose of this research was to investigate the load effects exerted on a roof structure with an ecoroof during rain events and the subsequent drainage period, with the intention of...

Creator:: Kellum, Kory and Kellum, Kory E.
Abstract:: Seamless, high-resolution topobathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) of rivers are important for generating hydrodynamic models, studying water quality and related ecological issues, modeling flood vulnerability, and numerous other applications. However, such DEMs can be difficult to generate, due to a lack of topographic and bathymetric source data. Even where the...

Abstract:: This study presents a mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel buoy, which is a mobile test platform for Wave Energy Converters. The Ocean Sentinel is owned and operated by the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) at Oregon State University (OSU). The study involved a field observation as well...
