An Empirical Study of Work-zone Safety and Mobility Using Surveys and Anonymous User Generated Trip Information

Creator:: Fiawoyife, Kenneth K.
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for highway work-zones are its effect on commuter mobility and worker safety which are often spoken of together. However, it must be noted that they often conflict with each other. For example, traffic control plans that reduce travel speed in work-zones improve both commuter and worker...

The Evaluation of Engineering Treatments for Right-Hook Crashes at Signalized Intersections with Bicycle Traffic

Creator:: Warner, Jennifer Lynn
Abstract:: A right-hook crash is a bicycle-motor vehicle crash between a right-turning motor vehicle and an adjacent through-moving bicycle. This study focuses on right-hook crashes that occur during the latter stage of the circular green indication at signalized intersections with shared right-turn and through lanes. The overall objective was to evaluate...

Tsunami Simulation Using OpenSees : Validation of Bridge Response and Exploration of Shallow Water Flow

Creator:: Cressman, Luke R.
Abstract:: The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...

Evaluation of Setback Crosswalk to Mitigate Vehicle-Pedestrian Conflicts at Intersections

Creator:: Chai, Eileen Pei Ying
Abstract:: It is considered best practice when designing pedestrian access at intersections to provide two curb ramps at each street corner. In Oregon, there are many locations where long ramp runs cause curb ramps to be set back a significant distance from the apex of the intersection corner to meet this...

Shear strengthening reinforced concrete bridge girders using near-surface mounted titanium alloy bars

Creator:: Knudtsen, Jonathan
Abstract:: Aging and deficient infrastructure has become a major problem throughout the world. This is particularly evident in the case of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. The cost of replacing these bridges is often prohibitive, thus engineers must find ways to strengthen them. Many older RC bridges predate the modern understanding of...

Numerical Simulation, Laboratory and Field Experiments, Analysis and Design of Wave Energy Converter and Mooring System

Creator:: Lou, Junhui
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a wave energy converter (WEC) and evaluates the design of a WEC mooring system. The research is conducted in support of conceptual development, field test and performance evaluation of WECs as part of the mission of the Northwest National Marine Renewable...

Response Sensitivity Formulations for Geometrically Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

Creator:: Al-Aukaily, Alabbas
Abstract:: Significant amounts of uncertainty owing to both modeling decisions and inherent randomness are present in simulating the material and geometric nonlinear response of structural systems to extreme loading. Computing the sensitivity of structural response with respect to model parameters indicates which parameters have the largest affect on the response, which...

Common Factors that Affect Aesthetics in Bridge Design

Creator:: Coe, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Aesthetics should be emphasized as much as possible in a design project without exceeding scope, budget, or schedule to satisfy the stakeholders involved. There is a rising trend of increased emphasis on aesthetics. This trend of using various techniques to help structures blend in or contribute to the surrounding environment...

Framework for assessing the potential safety performance of construction mechanical and electrical field employees

Creator:: Moghaddam Vahed, Ali
Abstract:: In the field of construction safety, many researchers have worked to create assessment tools. These tools focus on different aspects of construction safety, such as assessing safety climate, safety culture, etc. Although research indicates that the majority of incidents are caused by unsafe behaviors and acts, there are no comprehensive...
