  • Engineering Services of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Investigation of the Land-Building and Energy-Attenuating Properties of SAV Habitats Across Spatial Scales

    Creator:
    Holzenthal, Elizabeth R.
    Abstract:
    Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) species, such as seagrasses, are highly valued in estuaries because of the many economic, ecological, and cultural services that they provide, including shelter for fisheries, minimizing water turbidity, and improving am-bient water quality. SAV can also alter its physical environment by attenuating wave and current velocities,...

  • Post-wildfire Investigation of Civil Infrastructure Following the 2018 Camp Fire

    Creator:
    Schulze, Stefanie S.
    Abstract:
    Wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities, where forested land boundaries or intermixes with infrastructure, are quickly growing in the US. WUI communities have grown substantially from 1990 to 2010, with an increase of 12.7 million houses and 25 million people. Wildfires encroaching on WUI communities can cause damage to both above ground...

  • Assessment of Environmental Impacts of Wood Substitution in Commercial Construction

    Creator:
    Milaj, Kristina
    Abstract:
    In the residential sector, wood is the predominant construction material. In the commercial sector and in mid‐rise construction, the use of wood is limited because of a multitude of reasons, including building code restrictions, the perception of wood as a structural material, fire code requirements, and lack of knowledge and...

  • Owner's Role in Brownfield Remediation : The Brownfield Experts' Perspective

    Creator:
    Saberiyan, Amireh G.
    Abstract:
    Former industrial or commercial sites that have been left unused are typically referred to as brownfield sites, or simply, brownfields. Many communities have such properties that are abandoned, idle or underused. Despite public efforts to facilitate brownfields revitalization projects, the rate of remediation remains unexpectedly slow. Efforts to resolve this...

  • A model for simulating river and reservoir temperatures with applications for anadromous fish management

    Creator:
    Currie, James William
    Abstract:
    A problem confronting the Corps of Engineers and other water resources planners in the Pacific Northwest is the prediction of anadromous fish enhancement benefits that would result from a proposed high dam project. These benefits are expected from augmenting natural streamflows with relatively cold reservoir withdrawals. The resulting increased streamflows...

  • Application of quality function deployment in the conceptual design of a construction project

    Creator:
    Hinkle, Verda O.
    Abstract:
    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a product development process that assures the needs and desires of the customer are heard and heeded during the design, development and production of a product. Though it has been used successfully in other industries, only a few companies in the U. S. Engineering and...

  • Construction risks allocation : optimal risk allocation decision support model

    Creator:
    Alsalman, Ali Abdullah
    Abstract:
    It has been suggested that projects in the construction industry are subject to risks more than other industries. However, there is often little parity in allocation of risks in the construction industry. Usually, project participants allocate risks by aversion where owners tend to shift risks to the primary contractor, who...

  • 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,...

  • On Undular Bores and Solitary Waves in Variable Depth

    Creator:
    Knowles, Jeffrey N.
    Abstract:
    Numerical results are presented using a higher-order pseudo-spectral method in order to solve the Zakharov-Craig-Sulem formulation of the Euler model. We study the effects of variable bathymetry on weakly-dispersive, weakly-nonlinear, shallow water waves. Improved predictions on wave amplitude and shoaling behavior are developed by analytical means in the context of...

  • Assessment and Service Life Prediction of Microbial Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC)

    Creator:
    Sahan, Feyza N.
    Abstract:
    Microbial-induced corrosion of concrete (MICC) is a multi-stage deterioration process caused by microbial activity in wastewater infrastructure. MICC is a worldwide issue due to the reduced service life of the wastewater infrastructure and the economic impact associated with increased maintenance and reconstruction costs. This thesis explores two critical aspect of...
