  • A preliminary assessment of post-fire dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Hyatt, Charles
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, the occurrence of large, high severity wildfires has increased substantially in many parts of the world, including the western United States. These fires have the potential to impact water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and downstream communities for many decades. As such, it is increasingly important to understand the...

  • 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...

  • Common Factors that Affect Aesthetics in Bridge Design

    Creator:
    Coe, Jennifer J.
    Abstract:
    Aesthetics should be emphasized as much as possible in a design project without exceeding scope, budget, or schedule to satisfy the stakeholders involved. There is a rising trend of increased emphasis on aesthetics. This trend of using various techniques to help structures blend in or contribute to the surrounding environment...

  • Strength and Composition of Willamette Valley Cob: An Earthen Building Material

    Creator:
    Pullen, Quinn M.
    Abstract:
    Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters, including both average values...

  • Efficiency of bioswales in positively effecting storm water quality

    Creator:
    Grenz, Natalie S.
    Abstract:
    Because of the increased need for sustainable construction in an ever urbanizing culture, new sustainable drainage systems are being developed and implemented. Bioswales are becoming an increasingly popular form of sustainable urban drainage used for parking lots and subdivisions. But little is known regarding the effectiveness of bioswales in really...

  • Geotechnical characterization and drained shear strength of a limestone aggregate

    Creator:
    Knierim, Christina D.
    Abstract:
    Aggregate piers are a method of ground improvement used to increase the strength and bearing capacity of the native geological soils for the support of new civil infrastructure. The understanding of the bearing failure mechanism of aggregate piers remains largely unstudied. The effects of design variables in the failure mechanisms...

  • Devising Theatre: Experience as Art

    Creator:
    Parham, Anne A
    Abstract:
    Any work of literature is a product of its time revealing truths about its culture. My thesis explores how pre-selected inspiration, personal experiences, and current events play a role in the devising process of a script. The inspiration for this particular devised play is Letters to a Young Poet by...
