Ambient current effects on vertical selective flow withdrawal in a two layer reservoir system

Creator:: Charbeneau, Randall Jay
Abstract:: Withdrawal from a two-layer flow field is examined in terms of the degree of selectivity of the withdrawal flow and its dependence on an ambient current. Selectivity is defined as the bias of withdrawing one layer more strongly than the other; the extreme' case is complete selective withdrawal, where one...

Modeling solute transport by centrifugation

Creator:: Celorie, Jay A.
Abstract:: Measurement of physical and chemical solute transport properties of a soil/waste system is necessary to predict pollutant migration in soils. The adsorption component of solute transport is most often determined in the laboratory by performing column studies and batch equilibrium tests. Both of these methods suffer from disadvantages. Batch equilibrium...

A safety evaluation of turn lane-adjacent bike lane configurations in Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Wyman, Amy
Abstract:: The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prohibits positioning a bike lane right-adjacent to a vehicle turn-only lane to mitigate the potential for right-hook crashes. However, it provides no specific guidance on positioning with respect to bus-only lanes. This thesis describes a before/after safety evaluation of bike lanes positioned left...

Probabilistic Geospatial Analyses, Uncertainty Modeling, and Mapping of Seismically-induced Ground Failures

Creator:: Sharifi Mood, Mahyar
Abstract:: Ground failures, in particular landsliding, liquefaction and lateral spreading can be triggered by seismic sources. The frequency, magnitude, and impact of these ground failures are highly dependent on the topography and geology of the site including its slope, depositional environment, and geotechnical properties as well as the proximity of the...

Improving Interlayer Bond Quality with Engineered Tack Coats under Adverse Construction Conditions: A Laboratory and Field Investigation

Creator:: Wruck, Blaine M.
Abstract:: Tack coat emulsion, comprised of asphalt binder, water and emulsifying agents, is an interlayer membrane applied before asphalt pavement construction, which helps pavement layers bond together and permeate stresses and strains induced by heavy wheel loads through the entire thickness of the pavement structure. Proper interlayer bonding aids in preventing...

Application of the generalized Melnikov method to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension

Creator:: Fadel, Suzan M.
Abstract:: The Wiggins-Holmes extension of the generalized Melnikov method (GMM) is applied to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension in a long rectangular wave channel in order to determine if these cross waves are chaotic. The Lagrangian density function for surface waves with surface tension is simplified by...

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...

Tsunami propagation in large rivers : idealized cases and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Kalmbacher, Kirk D.
Abstract:: The hazards associated with tsunamis are well known and have been studied for decades. The majority of research is, however, focused on open coastlines which bear the brunt of a tsunamis force. Other regions that can be strongly impacted by a tsunami are large estuaries. Here, the tsunami encounters a...

Light-frame versus timber frame : a study in quantifying the differences

Creator:: Malone, Brian P.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to compare light wood framing and traditional timber framing quantitatively through environmental impact assessment and load path analysis. This research was inspired by a traditional timber frame structure constructed in Vermont in 2011, and the design of structures considered within reflect the general characteristics...

Tidal range changes in the Delaware Bay : past conditions and future scenarios

Creator:: Hall, George F.
Abstract:: Throughout the Holocene, appreciable changes in bathymetry are hypothesized to have resulted in large changes to tidal datums in coastal and estuarine areas. An understanding of tidal change is an important contribution to the knowledge of relative historical sea-level change and future coastal planning. To test this hypothesis, the Advanced...
