Cross-section fatal crash type prediction models

Creator:: Zhu, Hong
Abstract:: The rural two-lane highway in the southeastern United States is frequently associated with a disproportionate number of serious and fatal crashes. The major research objectives are to investigate the relations between probabilities of fatal crash type occurrence and potential contributing factors from road geometric design characteristics and roadside, environmental features....

Hydrodynamic Modeling of Submerged Wave Energy Converters: Power Take-Off Mooring Configuration Effect on Power Performance

Creator:: Meek, Moira H.
Abstract:: Wave energy converters (WECs) show promising potential to significantly contribute to global renewable energy goals. Numerous WEC designs have been proposed and investigated, but wave energy conversion technology has yet to reach convergence in the same way wind or solar has. Of the designs currently in existence, surface-piercing WECs are...

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,...

Comparison and Validation of Hydrodynamic Theories for Wave Energy Converter Modelling

Creator:: Leary, Matthew M.
Abstract:: A wide variety of hydrodynamic theories are utilized to approximate a Wave Energy Converter’s (WEC) equation of motion. Numerous theories have been refined in order to improve numerical approximations of WEC dynamics. When incorporating refined hydrodynamic theories into numerical models, there are distinct impacts on WEC rigid body motions, cable...

Tsunami and hurricane wave loads on bridge superstructures

Creator:: Azadbakht, Mohsen
Abstract:: This dissertation examines tsunami and hurricane wave loads on bridge superstructures. Tsunamis have caused significant damage to coastal communities in recent years. For example, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting Tohoku Tsunami destroyed infrastructure along the east coast of Japan including bridge superstructures. Recent hurricanes have also caused...

Tsunami inundation : estimating damage and predicting flow properties

Creator:: Wiebe, Dane Michael
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events have shown the destructive power of tsunami inundation to the constructed environment in addition to the tragic loss of life. A comparable event is expected for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) which will impact the west coast of North America. Research...

Framework for assessing the potential safety performance of construction mechanical and electrical field employees

Creator:: Moghaddam Vahed, Ali
Abstract:: In the field of construction safety, many researchers have worked to create assessment tools. These tools focus on different aspects of construction safety, such as assessing safety climate, safety culture, etc. Although research indicates that the majority of incidents are caused by unsafe behaviors and acts, there are no comprehensive...

Coupled wave and surge modeling of Tillamook Bay, Oregon : extreme events and climate change impacts

Creator:: Cheng, Tiffany Kay
Abstract:: Estuaries represent the confluence of land and ocean environments and encompass a number of complex interactions amongst tides, winds, offshore waves and the riverine contributions, all of which contribute to total water levels (TWLs). The study of TWLs and the relative weight of its components can assist local communities in...
