Quantifying the Relative Role of the Key Drivers of Coastal Dune Evolution: Observations and Simulations Across a Range of Time and Space Scales in Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina

Creator:: Hovenga, Paige A.
Abstract:: Coastal dunes provide a diverse set of ecosystem services including coastal protection against destructive surge and waves during storm events. Dunes are constantly evolving through various stages of response to storm events and post-storm recovery at rates that vary due to a range of drivers including pre-existing morphology, environmental forcing...

An Agent-Based Simulation for Emergency Warning Dissemination in a Multiplex Social Network

Creator:: Koll, Charles D.
Abstract:: The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

Assessing the Trade-Off Between Sustainability and Resiliency of Reinforced Concrete Alternatives in Corrosive Conditions: An LCA-System Dynamics Approach

Creator:: Moreno Rangel, Erick D.
Abstract:: Concrete has been categorized as a key contributor of CO2 (carbon) emissions into the atmosphere. This is mostly associated with the production of ordinary portland cement (OPC). The concrete and cement industries are pursuing a path to reduce their carbon emissions generally in accordance with the climate change goals outlined...

Monitoring and Prediction of Severe Weather Phenomena through GNSS Meteorology

Creator:: Tahami, Hoda
Abstract:: While primary use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), various GNSS applications have emerged over the past decades that includes GNSS meteorology. GNSS meteorology is the remote sensing of the atmospheric constituents in the neutral atmosphere – mostly in the troposphere - using GNSS...

The Art of Reducing Coastal Hazard Complexity: Coupling Physics and Probability to Understand Extremes, Variability, and Climate-dependence

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan L.
Abstract:: Coastal hazards are the result of numerous physical processes cumulatively causing water levels to flood and erode the land. The waves, storm surges, tides, and run-off contributing to elevated water levels are each the product of chaotic and random weather patterns. These stochastic weather patterns dissipate energy in Earth's climate...

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...

A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

Creator:: Li, Chang
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...

Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

Creator:: Thorp, Tiana Noelani
Abstract:: Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...

Application of Technologies for Temporary Structures during the Design and Construction Phases

Creator:: Jin, Ziyu
Abstract:: The development of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), light detection and ranging (lidar), and sensor-based systems poses new opportunities for researchers to rethink how construction safety and health can be approached during the design, planning, and construction phases of a project. Nevertheless, the majority of the technology applications...

Investigation of x-ray computed tomography for Portland cement phase quantification

Creator:: Deboodt, Tyler J.
Abstract:: Cementitious materials are often characterized through the use of advanced analytical techniques to understand the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale properties, including phase formation during hydration, and subsequent potential deterioration mechanisms which can affect service life. A major limitation with using such analytical techniques to quantify solid phases in cementitious systems...
