Ultimate bearing capacity of shallow footings on plastic silt

Creator:: Newton, Vernon C.
Abstract:: The usual approach to calculation of the ultimate bearing capacity of plastic silt is to assume no porewater drainage occurs during the loading period. The coefficient of permeability of plastic silt is generally significantly larger than clay; therefore, partial drainage of porewater may occur during the loading period. This study...

Observational Study of Buffered Bike Lane Design Implementation of Roadway Bicycling in Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Rios, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Bicyclists are one of the highest and most vulnerable road users. This is due to the higher likelihood of being seriously injured when involved in a crash. This research seeks to understand two different behavioral interactions of an implemented facility user: the motorist (secondary user) and bicyclist (primary user). The...

Framework for Measuring Construction Project Performance using Energy

Creator:: Nnaji, Chukwuma A.
Abstract:: Over the years, the performance of construction projects has been a main source of concern given the percentage of a project cost associated with poor project performance. As a result of the growing clamor to improve the output of the built industry, comprehensive studies have been conducted to examine the...

Regional and Site-Specific Vulnerabilities of the Western Power Grid from a M9.3 Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake

Creator:: Lathrop Eve D.
Abstract:: The likelihood of a Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquake is estimated between 37 to 42% in the next 50 years, leading to strong shaking, liquefaction, landsliding, and other seismic ground failure resulting in major impacts to critical lifelines such as the western power grid. Electrical power is essential for continued...

A study on the oxidation of sulfides in estuarine waters

Creator:: Korpalski, Thomas Paul
Abstract:: Waters of various salinities were secured from the Umpqua estuary, the Umpqua River, and the open ocean near the mouth of the estuary. The rate of oxidation of sulfides in these various waters was investigated to assess the potential longevity of free sulfides in estuarine waters. The rate of disappearance...

Numerical simulation of mechanically stabilized earth walls for parametric evaluation of behavior under surcharge loading

Creator:: Ambauen, Spencer J.
Abstract:: A numerical model, simulating the complex behavior of reinforced soil walls using the finite element method, was developed to evaluate the behavior of a surcharged, geosynthetic-reinforced retaining wall with modular block facing. A nonlinear elastic-plastic constitutive soil material model was calibrated to experimental plane strain test data, while the performance...

Evaluating dairy waste management systems ̓influence on fecal coliform concentration in runoff

Creator:: Grismer, Mark Edward
Abstract:: This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers...

Evaluation of Topography and Seismicity on Shallow Landslide Susceptibility

Creator:: Hess, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of shallow landslide susceptibility using...
