  • Evaluation of cold in-place recycling of asphalt conrete pavements in Oregon

    Creator:
    Scholz, Todd
    Abstract:
    Significant use of cold in-place recycling (CIR) has occurred in Oregon since 1984 as an alternative to other rehabilitation techniques or to the reconstruction of distressed asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. Due to the initial success of the projects cold recycled during 1984-85, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Oregon...

  • The analysis of directional wave spectra from current and pressure measurements

    Creator:
    Lin, Li-hwa
    Abstract:
    Directional wave spectra have been estimated in this study based upon simultaneous subsurface measurements of current and pressure. Two previously developed methods, the stochastic and deterministic approaches, have been reviewed and restudied. It is demonstrated by means of the Correlation Theorem that the stochastic and deterministic approaches are, under certain...

  • Deterministic and stochastic behaviors of a piecewise-linear system

    Creator:
    Mha, Ho-Seong
    Abstract:
    The (nonlinear) response behavior of a piecewise-linear system is investigated under both deterministic and stochastic excitations in this study. A semi-analytical procedure is developed to predict the system behavior by evaluating the joint probability density functions of the Fokker-Planck equations of the stochastic piecewise-linear system under random excitations via a...

  • Modeling sediment transport, channel morphology and gravel mining in river bends

    Creator:
    Nam, Ilgi
    Abstract:
    A technique is developed and tested to analyze the interaction of flowing water, bed topography, and bedload sediment transport in meandering channels where gravel bars are removed. The method relates the local velocity distribution, bed shear stress and sediment transport conditions to the local bed configuration in river bends before...

  • Of Planes and Plumblines: Map Projections and Differential Leveling in a GNSS-based 3D Geodetic Framework

    Creator:
    Dennis, Michael L.
    Abstract:
    Modern geospatial data are frequently represented in some type of three-dimensional (3D) coordinate system, for example geodetic latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height (φ, λ, h) derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). But for engineering and surveying work, φ, λ, h coordinates are usually converted to a topocentric system consisting...

  • Stochastic analysis of a nonlinear ocean structural system

    Creator:
    Lin, Huan
    Abstract:
    Stochastic analysis procedures have been recently applied to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study, nonlinear responses, stochastic and/or chaotic, are examined and interpreted from a probabilistic perspective. A multi-point-moored ocean structural system under regular and irregular wave excitations is analytically examined via a generalized stochastic Melnikov function and Markov...
