A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

Creator:: Lee, Chyuan-shen
Abstract:: A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

Creator:: Barlow, Zachary Wesley
Abstract:: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...

A validation of the Oregon State University driving simulator

Creator:: Brown, Lacy S.
Abstract:: Driving simulation is widely accepted as a safe, effective, and economical alternative for investigating driver behavior in a variety of contexts. However, in order to apply simulator-based research results to real-world settings, the performance measures acquired through simulated driving experiments must first be validated. This research was aimed at validating...

An Investigation of Student Cognitive Engagement in the STEM Classroom—A Compilation of Faculty and Student Perspectives

Creator:: Barlow, Allyson J.
Abstract:: Student engagement has been the focus of much engineering education research, in large part due to its ties to student learning. Widely considered to be a meta-construct, student engagement is often broken down into behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components. Reasons for ongoing research on student cognitive engagement are twofold: educators...

Assessing the Feasibility of Utilizing UAS-Based Point Clouds for Pavement Smoothness/Roughness Quantification

Creator:: Sen, Fatih
Abstract:: Transportation agencies continuously strive to improve driving quality and highway safety, which are both highly correlated with the level of smoothness of the road. The International Roughness Index (IRI) is a widely adopted, standardized metric calculated from longitudinal profile data collected on the road. Inertial profilers are devices mounted to...

Characterization of the Small-Strain Stiffness of Soils at an In-situ Liquefaction Test Site

Creator:: Donaldson, Aleyna M.
Abstract:: Strong ground motions from earthquakes can result in the reduction of the shear modulus and wave propagation characteristics of soils, and can produce liquefaction and cyclic softening during shaking and for some time following the seismic event. While the ground motions produced from controlled blasting are different than those in...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

Driver Distraction from Unmanned Aerial Systems: Evidence, Policy, and Mitigation

Creator:: Barlow, Zachary W.
Abstract:: Unmanned aerial systems (UASs), more commonly known as drones, have recently achieved commercial success for many public and private applications. As with all emerging technologies, new safety concerns and conflicts with existing paradigms are likely to arise. Many potential applications of UASs will result in their operation near roadway infrastructure,...

Evaluating safety at Oregon‘s isolated, high-speed, signalized intersections

Creator:: Kopper, Neil H.
Abstract:: Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...

Evaluation of Cycling Behavior: Factors that Influence Bicyclists’ Comprehension, Comfort, and Stress

Creator:: Cobb, Douglas P.
Abstract:: Travel demand has increased due to population growth, increase of vehicle ownership, and development patterns resulting in greater levels of congestion, pollution, and crash frequency. One approach to demand management is to increase the share of trips made by bicycles. With the increase in bicycling rates, there is a critical...
