Hydraulic functions of soils from physical experiments and their applications

Creator:: Su, Charles
Abstract:: Based upon the Pearson Type VIII distribution function, a general retention function which relates the saturation to the capillary pressure in disturbed soils has been discovered. This simple and yet complete function has been shown to describe precisely the imbibition as well as the drainage branch of the retention curve....

Effect of an Idealized Mangrove Forest of Moderate Cross-shore Width on Loads Measured on a Sheltered Structure and Comparison with Predicted Forces

Creator:: Mitchell, William T.
Abstract:: As coastal communities face increasing chronic and acute hazards, nature-based coastal engineering solutions have experienced a rapid growth in popularity and interest. Recent works on this topic have shown that “Green Infrastructure” may be effective at mitigating coastal hazards and therefore provide sustainable adaptation alternatives to traditional engineering solutions such...

Road user understanding of shared lane pavement markings (sharrows) case study - Corvallis, OR

Creator:: Cosma, Ioana
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on shared use lane facilities and road user understanding. Shared use lanes (sharrows) are a common solution for road facilities that are too narrow to accommodate a full bicycle lane and where the local jurisdiction wants to reduce dooring crashes. In recent years, engineers have focused on...

The computer, the computer user group, and the civil engineer

Creator:: Cunningham, Gerald Robert
Abstract:: An attempt to determine the relationship between the computer, the computer program exchange organization and today's practicing civil engineer has just been completed. A questionnaire was used to obtain information and opinions from 850 selected practicing civil engineers. Based on those questionnaires reaching their addresses, a return rate of 81.7...

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....

Multiobjective Optimization of Wetlands for Attaining Flood, Water Quality and Bird Habitat Benefits

Creator:: Noa-Yarasca, Efrain
Abstract:: A significant number of historically existing wetlands that naturally stored rainwater and attenuated flood peaks have now been drained and employed as new farming areas. Beyond the water quality and flow problem, this has resulted in loss of natural habitats of diverse ecological species. Restoring wetlands have hence been proposed...

System design for Dungeness crab processing

Creator:: Adams, Burton Warren
Abstract:: Dungeness crab is an important fishery on the Pacific Coast. The processing subsystem of the fishery is hampered by a variety of problems that have acted to impede technological innovations that could improve efficiency and sanitation in seafood plants. This paper provides background for problems encountered by the processors, discusses...

Streambed scour and redeposition behavior in streambed simulated culverts over an annual period

Creator:: Stewart, Anna
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to provide first order observations of bed level changes occurring in streambed simulated culverts throughout an annual period. To accomplish this, 30 culvert sites were selected in Oregon and Washington, and monitored over, at least, a 2 year period. Streambed scour and redeposition data...

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Engineering Inspections and Geospatial Mapping

Creator:: Javadnejad, Farid
Abstract:: Small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) carrying consumer-grade nonmetric cameras are increasingly utilized to generate high-resolution 3D geospatial data. Low cost, ease of operation, widespread availability and low altitude maneuvering capabilities of UAS, as well as the rapid development of technology and methods, make UAS-based photogrammetry applicable to many civil engineering...

Observational Study of Buffered Bike Lane Design Implementation of Roadway Bicycling in Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Rios, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Bicyclists are one of the highest and most vulnerable road users. This is due to the higher likelihood of being seriously injured when involved in a crash. This research seeks to understand two different behavioral interactions of an implemented facility user: the motorist (secondary user) and bicyclist (primary user). The...
