  • Assessing the Trade-Off Between Sustainability and Resiliency of Reinforced Concrete Alternatives in Corrosive Conditions: An LCA-System Dynamics Approach

    Creator:
    Moreno Rangel, Erick D.
    Abstract:
    Concrete has been categorized as a key contributor of CO2 (carbon) emissions into the atmosphere. This is mostly associated with the production of ordinary portland cement (OPC). The concrete and cement industries are pursuing a path to reduce their carbon emissions generally in accordance with the climate change goals outlined...

    Agreement. These goals are to reduce carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and to become carbon-neutral by 2050

  • Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

    Creator:
    Thorp, Tiana Noelani
    Abstract:
    Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...

  • Large scale model testing of the FMC submerged wave attenuation device

    Creator:
    Huber, David S.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the hydrodynamic testing and evaluation of a one-tenth scale model of the FMC Wave Attenuation Device. The purpose of the test was to quantify the wave attenuation characteristics and structural loading induced by a test program of monochromatic incident waves on the submerged structure. The device was...

  • GOSEP: Georeferenced Oregon Soil Engineering Properties

    Creator:
    Dutille, Victoria L.
    Abstract:
    Geotechnical engineers design and analyze the interface between the natural and built environments, often based on uncertain and inherently variable data due to the nature of the building material, soil. Engineers must estimate the subsurface conditions at a site using historical, in-situ, and laboratory testing data. However, only discrete representative...

  • Data assessment in Oregon for SafetyAnalyst based on Highway Safety Manual Part B

    Creator:
    Li, Meng
    Abstract:
    The author of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Part B developed a predictive method for safety management. A software tool for highway safety system analysis called the SafetyAnalyst is developed basing on HSM Part B. The author describes an effort to evaluate the feasibility of SafetyAnalyst in Oregon. Seven sample...

  • An investigation of Oregon weight-in-motion data for bridge rating implementation and evaluation

    Creator:
    Pelphrey, Jordan Michael
    Abstract:
    The LRFR Manual, within commentary Article C6.4.4.2.3, contains provisions for development of site-specific live load factors. In Oregon, truck Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) data were used to develop live load factors for use on state-owned bridges. The factors were calibrated using the same statistical methods that were used in the original development...

  • Digitalization of Construction-Phase Information Management by Project Owners

    Creator:
    Jahanger, Qais K.
    Abstract:
    Construction is a strategically important industry and its productivity has a significant impact on a nation’s economy. However, productivity in the US construction industry has been widely reported to be on the decline. Among several causes identified, the lack of innovation in project management practices has been described as having...

  • Flexible membrane wave barrier

    Creator:
    Thompson, Gary O.
    Abstract:
    This report details the derivation of an analytical model for a flexible membrane wave barrier. The wave barrier consists of a thin flexible membrane suspended in the water column by a moored cylindrical buoy on the free surface and fixed to a hinge at the seafloor. The analytical model combines...

  • Requirements for successful irrigation systems in the Senegal River Basin (Mauritania)

    Creator:
    Abba, Fatima Zahra
    Abstract:
    Implementation of a small-scale irrigation project in southern Mauritania is analyzed in this report. The main objective is to demonstrate that small-scale irrigation farming is the best suited solution for Mauritania's agriculture. To reach this objective different steps are taken in this study. The first step highlights the different aspects...

  • 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...
