  • Automated Monitoring of Construction Operations for Data-Driven Decision Making

    Creator:
    Rashid, Khandakar, M.
    Abstract:
    The continuous improvement of construction operations requires a systematic approach of monitoring and making appropriate control actions. However, the lack of real-time information hinders this workflow and eventually compromises timely and effective decision-making. Project managers spend a great deal of time and effort to solve problems emerging from lack of...

  • Breaking Waves Offshore: Measurements and Modeling of Energy Dissipation

    Creator:
    Ticona Rollano, Fadia M.
    Abstract:
    In the presence of strong winds, ocean surface waves dissipate significant amounts of energy by breaking. Here, breaking rates and wave-following turbulent dissipation rate measurements are compared with numerical WAVEWATCH III estimates of bulk energy dissipation. At high winds, the measurements suggest that turbulent dissipation becomes saturated, however the modeled...

  • Comparison and Validation of Hydrodynamic Theories for Wave Energy Converter Modelling

    Creator:
    Leary, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    A wide variety of hydrodynamic theories are utilized to approximate a Wave Energy Converter’s (WEC) equation of motion. Numerous theories have been refined in order to improve numerical approximations of WEC dynamics. When incorporating refined hydrodynamic theories into numerical models, there are distinct impacts on WEC rigid body motions, cable...

  • Hydrodynamic characterization of floating offshore wind turbines : an experimental and numerical multi-degree of freedom analysis

    Creator:
    Gadasi, Jonah B.
    Abstract:
    Wind energy has become a crucial resource in sustainably meeting increasing global energy demands. Recently, offshore wind energy has been gaining traction due to its higher gross resource and larger unclaimed real-estate relative to its onshore counterpart. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are increasingly popular, particularly designs with semisubmersible platforms....

  • Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

    Creator:
    Meek, Moira H.
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

  • 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...

  • Evaluating Worker Performance Using the Energy Concept

    Creator:
    Alotaibi, Abdulaziz M.
    Abstract:
    Over the decades, worker performance on construction projects has been a significant source of concern to be evaluated. Comprehensive studies have developed models for evaluating worker performance outside of the construction industry; however, minimal research has been conducted to evaluate worker performance in the construction industry. One of the reasons...

  • Boulder Transport by High Energy Surge

    Creator:
    Harry, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    Boulder transport models have been used to develop a historical record of hydrodynamic events. This is done by evaluating the size, location, and composition of boulders that have been removed from their region of formation. Boulder transport is difficult to predict, even under laboratory conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate...

  • Input/output energy analysis of regional water pollution control

    Creator:
    Heggen, Richard J.
    Abstract:
    Two strategic approaches to water quality control in Oregon's Willamette River are presently being utilized: point source treatment and flow augmentation. Dry weather releases from reservoirs are for authorized purposes other than water quality. Reservoirs can participate in pollution control by summer flow augmentation where authorized water resource objectives (flood...
