The static and dynamic analysis of discretely represented moorings and cables by numerical means

Creator:: Dominguez, Richard Frank
Abstract:: Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...

The control and fate of enteric bacteria in the environment with particular emphasis on the factors influencing fecal indicator survival in waste storage facilities

Creator:: Crane, Stuart R.
Abstract:: The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent on the...

Kinetics of biological contact beds

Creator:: Seaders, John
Abstract:: The influence of media size upon the effective removal of organic waste from a liquid substrate was studied by the use of three experimental trickling filters under a set of uniform operating conditions. The range of experiments involved hydraulic loadings of increasing magnitude and of constant organic strength. The trickling...

Analysis of thermal fatigue distress of asphalt concrete pavements

Creator:: Jackson, N. Mike (Nathaniel Michael)
Abstract:: Thermal cracking of asphalt concrete pavements is responsible for millions of dollars in annual maintenance and rehabilitation costs in the United States and Canada. Thermal cracking is typically associated with low temperatures in northern climates and at high elevations. However, another form of thermal cracking, known as thermal fatigue cracking,...

Nonlinear oscillations, bifurcations and chaos in ocean mooring systems

Creator:: Gottlieb, Oded
Abstract:: Complex nonlinear and chaotic responses have been recently observed in various compliant ocean systems. These systems are characterized by a nonlinear mooring restoring force and a coupled fluid-structure interaction exciting force. A general class of ocean mooring system models is formulated by incorporating a variable mooring configuration and the exact...

Climate Change Impacts to Estuarine Hydrodynamics: Tools, Methodologies, and Predictions

Creator:: Parker, Kai A.
Abstract:: Coastal communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are rapidly engaging with the idea that hazards and environmental pressures are changing and may be characteristically different in the near future. This has led to a need for scientific knowledge and tools that can help coastal communities prepare and build resilience...

The measurement of nearshore bathymetry on intermediate and dissipative beaches

Creator:: Côté, Jessica Magee
Abstract:: In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...

Internal curing of high-performance concrete for bridge decks

Creator:: Deboodt, Tyler
Abstract:: High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this type of concrete is highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Both types of...

Remote Sensing Tools for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts in Coastal Environments

Creator:: Herrmann, Joan F.
Abstract:: Climate change has pervasive impacts on Earth’s diverse ecosystems. Observed and projected effects that impact coastal environments pose unique challenges. Coastal regions provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g., fisheries, nursery habitats, erosion control, and water filtering and detoxification), house 40% of the US population, and contribute to 58% of the national...
