Evaluating Worker Performance Using the Energy Concept

Creator:: Alotaibi, Abdulaziz M.
Abstract:: Over the decades, worker performance on construction projects has been a significant source of concern to be evaluated. Comprehensive studies have developed models for evaluating worker performance outside of the construction industry; however, minimal research has been conducted to evaluate worker performance in the construction industry. One of the reasons...

The use of LiDAR to identify forest transportation networks

Creator:: Beck, Storm J. C.
Abstract:: The production of high value non-conventional products, such as long utility poles; or the production of low value bulky products, such as chips or grindings; provide opportunities for forest owners to increase value from their forests. The transport of these products requires the use of specialized trucks and trailers. However,...

Developing an analysis framework to compare commuter rail service and bus service in the Mid-Willamette Valley in Oregon

Creator:: Roholt, Ian M.
Abstract:: This thesis develops a framework for analyzing the application of commuter rail and bus services between several small urban centers to enhance overall connectivity. The study includes analyzing specific performance criteria for commuter rail service and express bus service based on data from existing systems around the U.S. The study...

Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls with Toe-Screwed and Slip-Friction Connections

Creator:: Fitzgerald, Dillon M.
Abstract:: Timber engineering is currently in the midst of a significant evolution due to the rise of mass timber products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT). Increasing numbers of structural engineers are facing the challenge of designing lateral-force-resisting systems (LFRS) for multistory CLT structures. LFRS solutions such as steel frames, concrete cores, or...

The present status of plastics as an engineering material

Creator:: Summersett, John Steve
Abstract:: The present status of plastics is one of constant change, but this thesis attempts to focus attention on the state of the industry as of 1967. Beginning with a brief title definition and history of plastics, the writer proceeds to a discussion on the structural characteristics of plastics. Under this...

A formal model of construction safety and health risk management

Creator:: Hallowell, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Despite recent efforts to improve site safety, construction still accounts for a disproportionate injury and illness rate. According to the 2007 injury and illness data released by the National Safety Council, the construction industry has a fatality and disabling injury rate that is approximately three times higher than the all-industry...

Enhancing Technology Integration in the Construction Industry : A Focus on Safety Technologies

Creator:: Nnaji, Chukwuma A.
Abstract:: Recent statistics suggest that the construction industry continues to experience poor project performance. Specifically, construction productivity has witnessed a meager annual growth of 1% over the past 20 years while the industry constantly records both a high number of fatalities and a high fatality rates relative to other industries. The...
