Nonlinear dynamic response of bottom-land deep ocean pipelines

Creator:: Zimmerman, Michael E.
Abstract:: A finite element formulation is developed for the prediction of the large displacement response of pipelines which are placed upon irregularly contoured marine sediments and are subsequently subjected to episodic hydrodynamic loads. The equations of motion during each episode of extreme wave activity are obtained from a variational form of...

Modeling shallow-water hydrodynamics : rotations, rips, and rivers

Creator:: Long, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Hydrodynamic models are used as a diagnostic tool to understand the temporal variability of shallow-water processes that are difficult to completely resolve with traditional field measurements. For all simulations, modeled quantities are qualitatively or quantitatively compared with available measurements to gain confidence in conclusions derived from the modeled results. In...

Cost-Benefit Evaluation of Energy-Efficient Building Strategies in Single-Family Affordable Housing

Creator:: Iliff, Helen M.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to ease the adoption of energy-efficient (EE) building strategies for affordable homes in the United States (US). Low-wage earning households spend nearly three times the proportion of their gross annual income on home energy bills resulting in higher energy burden for them when compared...

Perceived Effectiveness of Highway Work Zone Intrusion Mitigation Technologies: A State DOT Perspective

Creator:: Kadalli, Manjunath Veeresh
Abstract:: Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...

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...

Improving Safety on Construction Sites by Using Real Time Sensor Data to Monitor Worker Field-of-View and Proximity to Hazards and Reduce the Generation of False Positive Alarms

Creator:: Chan, Kelsey
Abstract:: The construction industry is infamously recognized for having jobsites identified as hazardous working environments due to workers-on-foot commonly functioning at dangerous heights and in close proximity to other construction entities, among other reasons. These hazardous operations result in an increased risk of worker injuries and fatalities caused by fall hazards...

Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

Creator:: Panahi, Roshan
Abstract:: Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

An Empirical Study of Work-zone Safety and Mobility Using Surveys and Anonymous User Generated Trip Information

Creator:: Fiawoyife, Kenneth K.
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for highway work-zones are its effect on commuter mobility and worker safety which are often spoken of together. However, it must be noted that they often conflict with each other. For example, traffic control plans that reduce travel speed in work-zones improve both commuter and worker...

Real-time Dynamic Schedule Updating Through Integrated Lean Construction Methods

Creator:: Lotti de Oliveira Paula, Gustavo
Abstract:: Planning and management methods in construction need to constantly evolve to keep pace with the growing demand and complexity of work in increasingly competitive environments. This need for innovation and process improvement has attracted lean construction philosophy in industry management practice. Lean has been used in the construction industry to...

Measuring and Correcting the Electrical Resistivity of Concrete Pore Solution in Fresh Mixtures

Creator:: Biever, Joseph H.
Abstract:: A vital aspect of concrete construction is quality assurance and control (QA/QC). Engineered structures must meet pre-determined and agreed-upon strength and durability requirements. Concrete falls into a specific category of infrastructure material because in most cases, these strength and durability requirements cannot be found until the material has at least...
