Introducing the Concept of Foundational Attributes and Project Metabolism to Assess Construction Project Similarity

Creator:: Zhang, Fan
Abstract:: A construction project is considered to be unique due to the process of delivering a customer-designed product, diverse stakeholders involved, the unique location and timeframe of construction, and specific social, economic, and environmental constraints attached to it. The uniqueness of construction projects brought great challenges to the construction industry professionals...

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...

Requirements for successful irrigation systems in the Senegal River Basin (Mauritania)

Creator:: Abba, Fatima Zahra
Abstract:: Implementation of a small-scale irrigation project in southern Mauritania is analyzed in this report. The main objective is to demonstrate that small-scale irrigation farming is the best suited solution for Mauritania's agriculture. To reach this objective different steps are taken in this study. The first step highlights the different aspects...

Multiobjective Optimization of Wetlands for Attaining Flood, Water Quality and Bird Habitat Benefits

Creator:: Noa-Yarasca, Efrain
Abstract:: A significant number of historically existing wetlands that naturally stored rainwater and attenuated flood peaks have now been drained and employed as new farming areas. Beyond the water quality and flow problem, this has resulted in loss of natural habitats of diverse ecological species. Restoring wetlands have hence been proposed...

Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

Creator:: Kramer, Anthonie
Abstract:: The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

Mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel through field observation and numerical simulation

Creator:: Baker, Joshua L.
Abstract:: This study presents a mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel buoy, which is a mobile test platform for Wave Energy Converters. The Ocean Sentinel is owned and operated by the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) at Oregon State University (OSU). The study involved a field observation as well...

Seamless Topobathymetric River Mapping Through Multi-Sensor Data Integration: Lidar, Sonar, RTK GNSS and Structure from Motion

Creator:: Kellum, Kory and Kellum, Kory E.
Abstract:: Seamless, high-resolution topobathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) of rivers are important for generating hydrodynamic models, studying water quality and related ecological issues, modeling flood vulnerability, and numerous other applications. However, such DEMs can be difficult to generate, due to a lack of topographic and bathymetric source data. Even where the...

Ground Improvement and Liquefaction Mitigation using Driven Timber Piles

Creator:: Gianella, Tygh N.
Abstract:: Seismically-induced liquefaction represents a major cause of damage to civil infrastructure and can result in significant damage following major earthquakes. Liquefaction can occur when earthquake ground motions raise pore-water pressures in loose, sandy soil, resulting in a substantial decrease of soil strength. Owing to the potential for instability following liquefaction,...

Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

Creator:: Brown, Tovey M.
Abstract:: Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...

Structural Effects of Hydraulic Loading and Drainage of Ecoroofs and Preliminary Consideration of Associated Design Loading Scenarios

Creator:: Thompson, Lucas E.
Abstract:: As ecoroofs have become more widespread throughout the U.S., it has become increasingly important to understand their structural behavior. The purpose of this research was to investigate the load effects exerted on a roof structure with an ecoroof during rain events and the subsequent drainage period, with the intention of...
