Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

Creator:: Cawley, Jessica Grace
Abstract:: Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...

The review of PPP toll roads in the US and the simulation of the Chicago Skyway

Creator:: Xu, Wei
Abstract:: As the traffic demand increases at a faster rate than the upgrade and maintenance of transportation facilities through the traditional public financing methods in the United States, the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is becoming an important supplement to the public transportation infrastructure investment. There are already several existing PPP toll road...

A review of research on shear and diagonal tension in reinforced concrete beam

Creator:: Yang, Jui-Tsung
Abstract:: Resistance of reinforced concrete beams to diagonal tension was studied in a series of papers which included beams without web reinforcement and beams with various types of web reinforcement. The magnitude of the loading causing the formation of initial diagonal tension cracks depended primarily on the dimensions of the cross...

A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

Creator:: Barlow, Zachary Wesley
Abstract:: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...

An Efficient Point Cloud Processing Framework for Terrestrial and Mobile Lidar Data via Reconstructing the Scan Pattern Grid

Creator:: Che, Erzhuo
Abstract:: Lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) is a remote sensing technology using light in the form of a pulsed laser, which enables efficient, accurate, 3-D data acquisition of a scene. Depending on the mounting platform, lidar data acquisition can be categorized into Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS, or airborne lidar), Terrestrial Laser...

Predicting nitrate concentrations in leachate resulting from land application of wastewater onto various crop systems including poplars

Creator:: Motte, Marie Quitterie
Abstract:: Land application of industrial wastewater with high levels of nitrogen requires adequate management practices to prevent groundwater pollution by nitrates. In this study a predictive computerized model was developed for nitrate leachate concentrations resulting from land application of wastewater onto crop systems including poplars. The study included a literature review,...

Investigating the Current Teaching Evaluation Practices used in Engineering Programs and their Usefulness to Educators

Creator:: Villanueva, Keisha A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of teaching is used to examine and improve teaching quality in higher education. The literature consists of best teaching evaluation practices that have been developed, yet there is little research that has been conducted which investigates teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs. This thesis represents two manuscripts that explore...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: for conducting such reviews. Some faculty are not convinced by the fairness of these approaches used

Application of the generalized Melnikov method to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension

Creator:: Fadel, Suzan M.
Abstract:: The Wiggins-Holmes extension of the generalized Melnikov method (GMM) is applied to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension in a long rectangular wave channel in order to determine if these cross waves are chaotic. The Lagrangian density function for surface waves with surface tension is simplified by...

Influence of expansive soils on structures in the Eugene area

Creator:: Bonell, John Alexander
Abstract:: Expansive soils in Eugene, Oregon present a problem to residents, consultants, contractors, and the city government. During the years 1977 to 1979, the nature and extent of the problem was identified, including an outline of the local occurrence of expansive soils and possible engineering solutions to the most often encountered...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

New acoustic emission applications in civil engineering

Creator:: Schumacher, Thomas
Abstract:: Non-destructive testing methods and applications have become of increasing interest due to the worldwide aging and deteriorating infrastructure network. In the field of Civil Engineering, bridges and bridge components as well as non-structural elements such as roadway pavements for example, are affected. In particular, the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique offers...
