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...

Seismic performance of a pile-supported container wharf structures in rockfill

Creator:: Kawamata, Yohsuke
Abstract:: Recently, the concept of performance based design has become popular for many types of structures, including port facilities under seismic loading. For the case of pile-supported wharves, the level of performance is generally estimated using the displacement capacity of the structure. Therefore, understanding soil-pile interaction is one of the most...

Degrees of Connectivity : A Systematic Accident Causation Model

Creator:: Alomari, Kasim A.
Abstract:: With all of the efforts that have been conducted over the past 100 years since the first accident causation theory was published, the Accident Proneness theory by Vernon (1918), the construction still trails among different industries in terms of fatal and nonfatal work injuries. Theories and models that have been...

Effects of soil slope on lateral capacity of piles in cohesive soils

Creator:: Nimityongskul, Nontapat
Abstract:: Pile supported bridges are typically constructed near or in a natural or man-made slope and are subjected to lateral loading. The current design method for laterally loaded piles involves the use of Winkler's spring concept with the standard nonlinear p-y curves. The available p-y curves were developed based on results...

Investigating the Current Teaching Evaluation Practices used in Engineering Programs and their Usefulness to Educators

Creator:: Villanueva, Keisha A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of teaching is used to examine and improve teaching quality in higher education. The literature consists of best teaching evaluation practices that have been developed, yet there is little research that has been conducted which investigates teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs. This thesis represents two manuscripts that explore...

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...

Pull-Oriented Faculty Development: A Multiple, Descriptive-Explanatory Case Study

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Traditional faculty development programs aimed at disseminating research-based pedagogy and innovations at potential adopters have helped increase awareness of these innovations; however, their adoption into engineering classrooms has been limited. This paper aims to present an alternative, pull-oriented approach to faculty development where faculty participants co-develop curricular innovations with engineering...
