  • Evaluation of the environmental conditioning system as a water sensitivity test for asphalt concrete mixtures

    Creator:
    Allen, Wendy L.
    Abstract:
    The Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) was designed to evaluate the water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures. The ECS subjects asphalt concrete specimens to a series of conditioning cycles including water flow, elevated and/or lowered temperature, and repeated axial loading. The purpose of this research was to: (1) evaluate the ECS...

  • Properties of geotextiles in cold regions applications

    Creator:
    Allen, Tony Michael
    Abstract:
    Geotextiles are experiencing increased use in arctic and subarctic construction in separation, reinforcement, erosion control, and drainage applications. The use of geotextiles as capillary cutoff layers to prevent frost heave has been proposed as well. In recognition of the need to investigate properties of geotextiles in cold regions applications, a...

  • Interstitial fluid mixing in estuarine benthic sediments

    Creator:
    Boyce, Allen R.
    Abstract:
    A method of measuring interstitial fluid mixing rates for evaluation of exchange between pore water of estuarine benthic sediments and the overlying water in a bay is presented. Pore water movement is monitored by reducing conductivity of the interstitial fluid within a zone of the benthic sediment to a depth...

  • Curriculum synthesis and amelioration : a case study of undergraduate civil engineering

    Creator:
    Hamernik, Robert E.
    Abstract:
    The dynamic philosophy of education as applied to the undergraduate Civil Engineering program has been influenced by such factors as the introduction of new theories, the demands and needs of our society and the personnel responsible for teaching. These changes are reflected in the curriculum as witnessed by a historical...

  • Framework for Measuring Construction Project Performance using Energy

    Creator:
    Nnaji, Chukwuma A.
    Abstract:
    Over the years, the performance of construction projects has been a main source of concern given the percentage of a project cost associated with poor project performance. As a result of the growing clamor to improve the output of the built industry, comprehensive studies have been conducted to examine the...

  • Risk and Reward Perception and Risk-Taking: Applicability, Relationship, and Implication in Construction Safety

    Creator:
    Azeez, Mohammed N.
    Abstract:
    While safety improvements have been made in the construction industry, construction still experiences one of the highest numbers of fatalities annually compared to other industries in the United States with over 970 fatalities in 2016 alone. This number of fatalities drives researchers and safety managers to improve safety measures and...

  • Assessment of Social Sustainability for the Construction Workforce

    Creator:
    Karakhan, Ali A.
    Abstract:
    Minimal research has focused on the social dimension of sustainability in the built environment especially as it relates to the construction workforce. As a result, there are few to no tools available to industry stakeholders to holistically assess and improve the social sustainability of the construction workforce. Given the high...

  • Risk factor quantification of design elements for multistory commercial office buildings

    Creator:
    Dharmapalan, Vineeth
    Abstract:
    Designing for construction safety is part of standard practice in countries such as the UK, Australia, and South Africa. Designing the permanent facility in a manner to eliminate or reduce the risks of injury, illness, or fatality of construction workers is defined as designing for construction safety (DfCS). Although evident...

  • Interaction of water waves and deformable bodies

    Creator:
    Broderick, Laurie L.
    Abstract:
    A time-domain model was developed to predict the fluid/structure interaction of a three-dimensional deformable body in a fluid domain subject to long-crested finite amplitude waves. These nonlinear waves induce transient motion in the body. In turn, the interaction of the body with the waves modifies the wave field, causing additional...

  • Design criteria for waste water lagoons in Oregon

    Creator:
    Putnicki, George John
    Abstract:
    Waste water lagoons have been used as a satisfactory means of treating domestic and certain industrial wastes in many parts of the country. Many of the parameters that govern the applicability of this type of treatment process are climatic in nature, and critical evaluation of local climatic conditions, as well...
