  • An evaluation of the oxygen resources in the lower Willamette River during a critical low flow period

    Creator:
    Kari, Earl Nyhus
    Abstract:
    The lower Willamette River, located between river mile 4.0 and 26.5, is the most seriously polluted section of the Willamette River Basin. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations of 2.0 to 3.0 mg/1 are observed annually in this section of the river due to the pollutional loads discharged into it. Waste discharges...

  • Evaluation of emulsified asphalt for use in Saudi Arabia

    Creator:
    Al-abdulwahhab, Hamad I.
    Abstract:
    Saudi Arabia currently contains 31000 km (18600 mi) of paved roads and 42000 km (25200 mi) of agricultural roads, with the prospect of more roads to be constructed. The low population (6 million) compared to the large area of the country (2,253,300 km², 900,000 mi²) coupled with the high cost...

  • Lateral Load Path Analysis : Practical Methods for Light-Frame Modular Structures

    Creator:
    Huynh, Thanh Q.
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this study are to use SAP2000 to investigate lateral load paths and system behavior in a modular, light-frame wood structure by investigating different foundation configurations and to further develop and validate existing modeling techniques of shear wall elements based on the Perforated Shear Wall Method. The modeling...

  • Metal and organic emissions from RDF and large volume contributor combustion

    Creator:
    Lee, Taejin, 1961-
    Abstract:
    The use of municipal refuse (RDF) as fuels has received widespread attention for reason of its energy equivalence and the increasing lack of available landfill sites. The principal obstacle to the construction of combustion facilities is that RDF produces toxic compounds, including heavy metals and such organic compounds as PCDD...

  • 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...

  • Hydrodynamic loads on fiber-optic micro cables

    Creator:
    Evans, Matthew R.
    Abstract:
    A Finite Element Model of a deployed Fiber-Optic Micro Cable (FOMC) was performed using the marine cable modeling software, OrcaFlex. The focus of this study was a parametric analysis of a two-part, towed cable array with the FOMC dragged behind a depressor and connected to a drogue chute. Length-to-diameter ratios...

  • Strain distribution in OSB and GWB in wood frame shear walls

    Creator:
    Sinha, Arijit
    Abstract:
    The overall goal of this study was to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board (OSB) and gypsum wall board (GWB) in shear wall assembly during racking load. More specifically the objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate qualitatively the load sharing between OSB...

  • The effects of nail bending-yield stress and biological deterioration on the cyclic performance of shearwalls

    Creator:
    Anderson, Erin N.
    Abstract:
    Key parts of the lateral force resisting system in wood-frame buildings are the shearwafls and the connections. The connections in wooden buildings are the primary source of ductility and energy dissipation; these are essential properties when buildings are exposed to lateral forces, such as wind and earthquakes. Shearwall design is...

  • Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm Panel-to-Panel Connections with Self-Tapping Screws

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Kyle
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of design values for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms in the seismic load-resisting system for buildings. Monotonic and cyclic tests to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with common self-tapping screws were performed....
