Fate of THMs in Columbia River basalts during aquifer storage and recovery

Creator:: Bertrand, Danelle
Abstract:: Use of basalt aquifers for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems is increasing in the Pacific Northwest due to the large aerial extent of the Columbia River Basalt Group and the suitability of basalts as ASR reservoirs. However, the degradation of trihalomethanes (THMs), potentially carcinogenic disinfection by-products present in the...

Sustainability of Concrete in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Chaimov, Hilary
Abstract:: Reducing the CO2 emitted by the production of cement can greatly reduce the carbon emissions attributable to the built industry. By specifying concrete mixes with lower global warming potentials (GWPs), structural engineers can reduce the carbon emissions of concrete used in the built industry. This thesis uses a cradle-to-gate life...

Multi-hazard framework and analysis of soil-bridge systems : long duration earthquake and tsunami loading

Creator:: Carey, Trevor J.
Abstract:: During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, numerous bridge structures were damage or destroyed. The damage to bridge systems was caused by long duration strong ground shaking, tsunami inundation forces, or both. Long duration strong ground shaking from subduction zone earthquakes and the multi-hazard scenario of combined earthquake...

Applications of Marine Radar Wave Observation Systems

Creator:: Meskill, Shay J.
Abstract:: This project utilized both shore-based and shipboard commercial marine radar technology to collect wave statistics. In the first application a shore-based system was installed at Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon in order to collect real-time wave information. This information was collected under the auspices of the Northwest Association of Networked...

Effects of an industrial fire on a community of south Phoenix, Arizona

Creator:: Degher, Alexandra B.
Abstract:: On August 31, 1992, Quality Printing Circuits, a circuit board manufacturing plant in Phoenix, Arizona, burned to the ground. The fire lasted approximately eight hours, creating a thick, black smoke that blew into the surrounding community. Emergency evacuation was erratic and since no air samples were taken during the fire,...

Climate Change Impacts to Estuarine Hydrodynamics: Tools, Methodologies, and Predictions

Creator:: Parker, Kai A.
Abstract:: Coastal communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are rapidly engaging with the idea that hazards and environmental pressures are changing and may be characteristically different in the near future. This has led to a need for scientific knowledge and tools that can help coastal communities prepare and build resilience...

Evaluating the Feasibility of Mass Timber as a Mainstream Building Material in the US Construction Market: Industry Perception, Cost Competitiveness, and Environmental Performance Analysis

Creator:: Ahmed, Shafayet
Abstract:: Mass timber has been considered as a promising building material because of its structural rigidity, environmental sustainability, and renewability nature. In Europe and Australia, mass timber materials have been used for many different types of construction such as residential, commercial, education, and industrial. However, the construction practitioners in the U.S....

Evaluation of Driver Behavior during Right Turn Maneuvers at Signalized Intersections: Mitigation of Driver-Pedestrian Conflicts with a Right Turn Flashing Yellow Arrow

Creator:: Jashami, Hisham
Abstract:: Accommodating motor vehicles that are turning (left or right) at signalized intersections requires a careful understanding of the safety and efficiency of design and operational variables. Turning vehicles are the primary collision risk for non-motorized road users at signalized intersections. When turning movements need to be controlled, proper driver response...

Strength and Composition of Willamette Valley Cob: An Earthen Building Material

Creator:: Pullen, Quinn M.
Abstract:: Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters, including both average values...

Calibrating the highway safety manual predictive methods for Oregon rural state highways

Creator:: Xie, Fei
Abstract:: The first edition of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides a quantitative approach to predict the safety of transportation facilities based on the recently developed scientific methods. This approach, known as the predictive method, was developed for several states in the United States. Due to differences in driver population, weather...
