  • Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

    Creator:
    Wilson, Jebediah
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

  • An investigation into the role of spatial variability on liquefaction consequence severity

    Creator:
    Cary, John R.
    Abstract:
    During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...

  • Sediment transport in a gravel-bottomed stream

    Creator:
    Milhous, Robert T.
    Abstract:
    Sediment transport in a gravel-bottomed stream located in the Oregon Coast Range was studied to determine the effects of a single layer of large particles (the armour layer) located at the surface of the bed material. The bed load transport system was studied jointly with suspended sediment transport to understand...

  • Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

    Creator:
    Loving, Carly K.
    Abstract:
    To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...

  • Limit Equilibrium-Based Assessment of the Internal Stability of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Structures Subject to Seismicity

    Creator:
    Loving, Carly K.
    Abstract:
    Design of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Structures (GRSS) require sufficient rear pullout anchoring capacity in order to maintain internal stability. Length requirements are amplified when reinforcement coverage ratios or seismicity is considered, potentially resulting in uneconomical GRSS design lengths. This study describes the influence of reinforcement length, coverage ratio, and pseudostatic seismic...

  • Stability of heterogeneous and anisotropic slopes determined by the compound logarithmic spiral limit equilibrium method

    Creator:
    Stockton, Ezra J.
    Abstract:
    The logarithmic-spiral (log-spiral) limit equilibrium procedure for slope stability analysis rigorously satisfies both force and moment equilibrium with a failure surface geometry formulated as a function of the soil’s angle of internal friction. Within the framework of limit equilibrium, this procedure has, in the past, been primarily limited to homogeneous...

  • Simplified stability assessment for low volume road cut and fill slopes

    Creator:
    Pratt, Randy C.
    Abstract:
    Many miles of roads are built in the Pacific Northwest Forests to provide access for logging and fire protection. Logging roads often cross steep mountainous terrain. Logging roads and the associated cut and fill slopes represent a discontinuity in the natural stress state in the soil mantle. These conditions result...

  • Centrifuge Modeling of Soil Response to Tsunami-like Rapid Flooding and the Subsequent Drawdown

    Creator:
    Exton, Margaret C.
    Abstract:
    Soil instability from tsunami hazards causes substantial damage to coastal infrastructure (e.g., the damage caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami, or the Heisei Tsunami). Tsunamis are unpredictable, so it is difficult to obtain field-scale measurements. Simulating tsunamis in a laboratory setting is therefore important to further understanding of...

  • Testing and evaluation of flexural reinforcing bars terminating in columns

    Creator:
    Koester, Carl C.
    Abstract:
    Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...

  • Irregular points in wavemaker boundary value problem

    Creator:
    Tanaka, Yoshihiro
    Abstract:
    A global solution is presented that accurately accounts for the singular behavior at all irregular points. The linearized boundary value problem in a semi-infinite strip in the physical plane is transformed into a smooth unit disk by two successive conformal mappings. The global solution results from a Fredholm integral equation...
