  • Data assessment in Oregon for SafetyAnalyst based on Highway Safety Manual Part B

    Creator:
    Li, Meng
    Abstract:
    The author of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Part B developed a predictive method for safety management. A software tool for highway safety system analysis called the SafetyAnalyst is developed basing on HSM Part B. The author describes an effort to evaluate the feasibility of SafetyAnalyst in Oregon. Seven sample...

  • Reverse osmosis membranes fouling by biopolymers in wastewater secondary effluent and membrane cleaning

    Creator:
    Xu, Zhihua
    Abstract:
    Reverse osmosis (RO) is being increasingly used in treatment of domestic wastewater secondary effluent for potable and non-potable reuse. Among other foulants, dissolved biopolymers, i.e., proteins and polysaccharides, can lead to severe fouling of RO membranes. In this study, the roles of RO membrane surface properties in membrane fouling by...

  • Assessing the effectiveness and environmental impacts of using natural flocculants to manage turbidity

    Creator:
    Kegley, Laura J.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to determine the feasibility of using chitosan as a natural flocculant to control turbidity during in-stream construction work. A series of field tests in Oak Creek, Corvallis, OR were conducted in order to test the effectiveness for turbidity control and the environmental impacts of...

  • A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

    Creator:
    Li, Chang
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...

  • 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...

  • Investigation of Drilled Shafts under Axial, Lateral, and Torsional Loading

    Creator:
    Li, Qiang
    Abstract:
    Drilled shaft foundations provide significant geotechnical resistance for support of structures, such as highway bridges, traffic sign, and signal pole structures, and are used widely to meet their structural foundation requirements. The amount of steel reinforcement in drilled shaft foundations has increased over the past several decades to account for...

  • Optimal mixture of road network ownership

    Creator:
    Li, Mingxin
    Abstract:
    The present highway funding system, especially fuel taxes, may become less reliable revenue sources in the future, while the transportation public agencies do not have the sufficient financial resources needed to meet the increasing traffic demand. Regarding the socio-economic impact of road privatization, a wide range of approaches and models...

  • Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

    Creator:
    Li, Chuan
    Abstract:
    Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...

  • Amplification of solitary waves along a vertical wall

    Creator:
    Li, Wenwen
    Abstract:
    Reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall is studied experimentally in the laboratory wave tank. Precision measurements of water-surface variations are achieved with the aid of laser-induced fluorescent (LIF) technique and detailed temporal and spatial features of the Mach reflection are captured. During the development stage...
