Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Belt Usage in Oregon

Creator:: Cowgill, Brett Thomas
Abstract:: In ¬¬¬¬2009 the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration (FMCSA) conducted the “Safety Belt Usage by Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Survey” for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The survey found that, nationally, 74% of commercial truck drivers wear their safety belts at all times. In the western region of...

Relationships between seasonal suspended sediment behavior and reservoir turbidity

Creator:: Conner, Dan Alan
Abstract:: The causes of turbidity in impounded and released reservoir water are studied. Seven Willamette Basin reservoirs are compared to isolate watershed and reservoir characteristics which produce variations in turbidity. Of the seven, Hills Creek Reservoir is examined in detail. Particular features of the basin and impoundment are studied to isolate...

Laboratory evaluation of aging for asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:: Sosnovske, Dan
Abstract:: This research was conducted as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) A-003A contract at Oregon State University to validate the findings of SHRP contracts A-002A and A-003B with regard to aging of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. One short-term and four long-term aging methods were used to simulate aging of asphalt-aggregate...

Contact time and reaction rates for trickling filters

Creator:: Roach, Michael Dan
Abstract:: Three deep experimental filters were used to evaluate the influence of the physical factors of media size, depth of filter, and organic and hydraulic loading on contact time and the rate of removal of organic material by the biological growth on the filters. A further correlation was made between contact...

Problem Solving Personas of Civil Engineering Practitioners using Eye Tracking Techniques

Creator:: Gestson, Sean L.
Abstract:: Engineering practitioners solve problems in various ways; it is plausible that they often rely on graphs, figures, formulas and other representations to reach a solution. How and why engineering practitioners use representations to solve problems can characterize certain problem-solving behaviors, which can be used to determine particular types of problem...

The Art of Reducing Coastal Hazard Complexity: Coupling Physics and Probability to Understand Extremes, Variability, and Climate-dependence

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan L.
Abstract:: Coastal hazards are the result of numerous physical processes cumulatively causing water levels to flood and erode the land. The waves, storm surges, tides, and run-off contributing to elevated water levels are each the product of chaotic and random weather patterns. These stochastic weather patterns dissipate energy in Earth's climate...

Evaluating climate change induced coastal flood impacts to San Diego Bay Naval Infrastructure - a hybrid statistical dynamical modeling approach

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...

Civil engineering students' and practicing civil engineers' understanding of engineering concepts

Creator:: Urlacher, Mark A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore civil engineering students’ and professional civil engineers' understanding of concepts within statics and fluid mechanics. The studies described herein begin to examine theories of situated cognition utilizing concept inventories, which are sets of multiple-choice questions where the incorrect answers are based on...

Mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel through field observation and numerical simulation

Creator:: Baker, Joshua L.
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...
