  • Risk and reliability associated with use and reuse of vertical formwork

    Creator:
    Das, Amrutha
    Abstract:
    Concrete formwork is a common type of temporary structure used on construction projects. Due to difficulties in considering actual construction site implications during formwork design, assessments of formwork integrity are often made in the field by site personnel based on subjective visual inspection. The use and re-use of concrete formwork...

  • Quantifying the Safety and Mobility Benefits of Connected Vehicle Technologies under Varying Levels of Market Penetration and Traffic Volume : An Agent-Based Modeling Framework

    Creator:
    Abdulsattar, Harith M.
    Abstract:
    The advancement of the cutting-edge technologies of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) hold promises to reshape the future of the transportation system. The concept of connected (CV) and connected automated vehicles (CAV) technologies are live examples of the future transportation. Vehicle communication technology is expected to impact conventional traffic conditions....

  • 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...

  • Decentralized Multiagent Coordination for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Routing in Congested Networks

    Creator:
    Mostafizi, Alireza
    Abstract:
    In 2017, the cost of congestion in the United States was around 305 billion dollars, and city-dwellers, on average, lost 1400 dollars while sitting 42 hours in traffic jams. Aiming for better mobility and more efficient utilization of the transportation network, emerging connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies and their...

  • Bench-scale study for the bioremediation of chlorinated ethylenes at Point Mugu Naval Air Weapons Station, Point Mugu California, IRP Site 24

    Creator:
    Keeling, Matthew Thomas
    Abstract:
    Laboratory scale microcosm studies were conducted using site specific groundwater and aquifer solids to assess the feasibility of stimulating indigenous microorganisms in-situ to biologically transform Trichloroethylene (TCE) and its lesser chlorinated daughter products dichloroethylene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). Three different treatments were conducted to determine the best approach for...

  • The evolution of practical safety audits in the United States

    Creator:
    Houghton, Tegan Marie
    Abstract:
    This thesis evaluates pre-construction auditing procedures used in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand in order to help create post-construction auditing procedures for the state of Oregon. It was funded as part of the development of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Safety Investigation Manual, and also evaluates content...

  • Statistical quality control applied to asphalt concrete

    Creator:
    Coghlan, Gerald Thomas
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate an application of statistical concepts to quality control of highway construction. The application was presented qualitatively and demonstrated quantitatively by an investigation of asphalt content in asphalt concrete. For the example, an Oregon State Highway Project was sampled and tested. The average...

  • The effect of mixing moisture, oxidative aging and tire pressures on the performance of asphalt mixes

    Creator:
    Kim, Ok-kee
    Abstract:
    The research undertaken consisted of the study of three topics affecting the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures, that is, mixing moisture, oxidative aging and higher tire pressures and axle loads. This thesis presents the findings of the research comprising these three topics. In the first study, the effects of mixing...

  • The seismic vulnerability of sheet pile walls

    Creator:
    McCullough, Nason J.
    Abstract:
    The seismic performance of port structures has been well documented following recent earthquakes, and indicates that port structures are highly susceptible to earthquake-induced damages. These damages are primarily due to soil liquefaction and the associated ground failures. Sheet pile bulkheads provide vital intermodal and lifeline transportation links between water-side and...

  • Testing and evaluation of flexural reinforcing bars terminating in columns

    Creator:
    Koester, Carl C.
    Abstract:
    Capacity of transverse 1950's vintage reinforced concrete deck girder bridge bent caps with large straight bar anchorages were investigated and evaluated. Eleven subassemblage column specimens were examined with different anchorage lengths, bar groupings, amount of transverse steel, and externally applied axial force. Test results showed an increase in anchorage capacity...
