  • Coupled dynamics of bouys and mooring tethers

    Creator:
    Idris, Krisnaldi
    Abstract:
    Time-domain models were developed to predict the response of a tethered buoy subject to hydrodynamic loadings. A coupled analysis of the interaction of a buoy and its mooring is included and three-dimensional response is assumed. External loadings include hydrodynamic forces, tethers tensions, wind loadings and the weight of both cable...

  • Radon-222 as an in situ partitioning tracer for quantifying nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturations in the subsurface

    Creator:
    Davis, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the use of radon-222 as an in situ partitioning tracer for quantifying nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturations in the subsurface. Laboratory physical aquifer models (PAMs), field experiments, and numerical simulations were used to investigate radon partitioning in static (no-flow) experiments and in single-well, 'push-pull' tests conducted in...

  • Treatment of activated sludge process effluent by carbon adsorption

    Creator:
    Davis, Stewart Lee
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of the service time of an activated carbon adsorption column and the organic carbon removal efficiency treating activated sludge process effluent was completed at aerator detention times of three, five, and ten hours. Parameters used for evaluation of treatment were biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total organic...

  • An Examination of the Neutral Axis of Wood Beams

    Creator:
    Davis, Phillip M.
    Abstract:
    For wood beams, it is often assumed that the neutral axis is located at the centroid of the beam. The neutral axis of isotropic, homogeneous materials is located at the centroid of the material, but wood is neither isotropic nor homogeneous. The varying grain patterns and knots located throughout wood...

  • Alkali-silica reaction in concrete containing recycled concrete aggregates

    Creator:
    Adams, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete is a promising way to increase the overall sustainability of new concrete. This has been hindered, however, by a general perception that RCA is a sub-standard material due to the lack of technical guidance, specifically related...

  • Near-Surface Response of Beach Sand : An Experimental Investigation

    Creator:
    Adams, Rachel Katie
    Abstract:
    The near-surface region of a coastal sediment bed is complex and dynamic. At some sites, near-surface sediment deposits are susceptible to extreme events, such as tsunamis or other large overflows, which induce high shear stresses on the sediment bed. The specific properties of sediment beds subjected to such extreme loading...

  • System design for Dungeness crab processing

    Creator:
    Adams, Burton Warren
    Abstract:
    Dungeness crab is an important fishery on the Pacific Coast. The processing subsystem of the fishery is hampered by a variety of problems that have acted to impede technological innovations that could improve efficiency and sanitation in seafood plants. This paper provides background for problems encountered by the processors, discusses...

  • A safety evaluation of turn lane-adjacent bike lane configurations in Portland, Oregon

    Creator:
    Wyman, Amy
    Abstract:
    The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prohibits positioning a bike lane right-adjacent to a vehicle turn-only lane to mitigate the potential for right-hook crashes. However, it provides no specific guidance on positioning with respect to bus-only lanes. This thesis describes a before/after safety evaluation of bike lanes positioned left...
