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,...

Simulation of Heat Transfer Through Soil for the Investigation of Wildfire Impacts on Buried Utilities

Creator:: Richter, Edward G.
Abstract:: Wildland urban interface (WUI) communities in the Western United States have recently dealt with historic and devastating wildfires year after year. The fires have cost tens of billions in damage, burned tens of thousands of structures, displaced thousands of residents, and killed over one hundred people. The 2017 Tubbs fire...

Dynamic response of steel structures with semirigid connections

Creator:: Grant, Joseph Edward
Abstract:: The nonlinear response of a ten-story steel structure with semirigid girder connections is studied under conditions of dynamic loading. The dynamic loading used in this study is the North-South component of the May 18, 1940 El Centro, California earthquake. To deal with the complexity of the problem the structure is...

Numerical response of concrete-lined tunnels crossing active faults

Creator:: Lange, Stephanie
Abstract:: A challenge for municipal authorities of growing urban areas is to provide larger and faster transportation and utility networks that are safe and resilient to significant disruptions after an earthquake event and other disasters. Urban regions, like the San Francisco Bay or the Los Angeles area, are situated in seismically...

Wave Resource Assessments: Spacio-Temporal Effect of Wave Energy Converter Scale and Blue Economy Opportunities

Creator:: Dunkle, Gabrielle R.
Abstract:: Wave energy has the potential to power large and small factions of economies around the world alike. Current methods for determining the amount of wave energy resource available to wave energy converter (WEC) devices entail capturing the look of the sea state at large by presenting characteristic wave heights, periods,...

Tsunami propagation in large rivers : idealized cases and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Kalmbacher, Kirk D.
Abstract:: The hazards associated with tsunamis are well known and have been studied for decades. The majority of research is, however, focused on open coastlines which bear the brunt of a tsunamis force. Other regions that can be strongly impacted by a tsunami are large estuaries. Here, the tsunami encounters a...

Soil-bridge interaction during long-duration earthquake motions

Creator:: Romney, Kyle T.
Abstract:: Earthquake engineering analyses are often performed using shallow, crustal earthquake motions (e.g., 1940 El Centro). However, large areas of the world are subject to subduction zone earthquake motions (e.g., the Pacific Northwest). A subduction zone earthquake motion is characterized by its long duration (e.g., strong shaking lasts for more than...

Towards the Development of Performance-Based Concrete Mixtures Made with Modern Cementitious Materials Using Thermodynamic Modeling

Creator:: Bharadwaj Ravi, Keshav
Abstract:: This thesis builds on a modeling tool that has been developed to link thermodynamic modeling and concrete performance. This tool is intended to predict the performance for modern concrete mixtures made with ordinary portland cement (OPC), conventional and novel supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and limestone (Ls). The first part of...

The analysis of directional wave spectra from current and pressure measurements

Creator:: Lin, Li-hwa
Abstract:: Directional wave spectra have been estimated in this study based upon simultaneous subsurface measurements of current and pressure. Two previously developed methods, the stochastic and deterministic approaches, have been reviewed and restudied. It is demonstrated by means of the Correlation Theorem that the stochastic and deterministic approaches are, under certain...

Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Finite Element Modeling Approach Applied to Wave Structure Interaction: Effects of Shielding, Channeling, and Wall Removal

Creator:: Al-Sayhood, Zeyad A.
Abstract:: The impact of tsunamis on coastal structures gained great a new impetus following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. While several experimental programs have been performed to gain a fundamental understanding, numerical models are needed to study additional features that cannot all be tested...
