Risk factor quantification of design elements for multistory commercial office buildings

Creator:: Dharmapalan, Vineeth
Abstract:: Designing for construction safety is part of standard practice in countries such as the UK, Australia, and South Africa. Designing the permanent facility in a manner to eliminate or reduce the risks of injury, illness, or fatality of construction workers is defined as designing for construction safety (DfCS). Although evident...

An evaluation of planning for water quality control in the Willamette River Basin

Creator:: Kirkpatrick, Kenton
Abstract:: It is no longer possible in any area of the United States to formulate water resources plans for single purpose projects as has been done in past years. No longer can one of our greatest natural resources, water, be used solely for navigation, power generation, irrigation, or controlled for reducing...

An investigation of alternative means of achieving water quality objectives

Creator:: Kerri, Kenneth Donald
Abstract:: Storage of water for water quality control is one of the alternative means of achieving water quality objectives. Authorities in the field of water quality management disagree regarding the use of precious water for the dilution of wastes. The costs of achieving water quality objectives by treatment of wastes at...

Plans and Specifications for a Sewerage System for all of Corvallis Lying West of Ninth Street

Creator:: Gardner, Wilford W.
Abstract:: At the present time only a portion of Corvallis is sewered and a portion of the city still employs the most crude and unhealthful methods of disposal. The district east of Ninth Street, as shown on the map, has an effective system of well constructed sewers, of the combined storm-water...

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...

Opportunities and challenges for decision support systems in log truck scheduling and dispatching

Creator:: Kokenge, Kyler S.
Abstract:: The transportation of logs from the forest to the mill accounts for 25-50% of the delivered cost of wood, depending mostly on haul distance. Decision support systems (DSS) for log truck scheduling and dispatching have the potential to reduce transportation costs by optimally constructing routes, also known as schedules for...

Assessing the effectiveness and environmental impacts of using natural flocculants to manage turbidity

Creator:: Kegley, Laura J.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to determine the feasibility of using chitosan as a natural flocculant to control turbidity during in-stream construction work. A series of field tests in Oak Creek, Corvallis, OR were conducted in order to test the effectiveness for turbidity control and the environmental impacts of...

An investigation of the feasibility of a cutbank slope design method based on the analysis of natural slopes

Creator:: Keener, Quentin Roosevelt
Abstract:: The failure of cutbanks is a major problem encountered by those who construct low-cost roads in naturally forested residual soils. Attempts have been made to lessen the severity of failures by classifying certain soil areas as to their susceptibility to failure, in addition to bringing past design experience into play...

An Interdisciplinary Agent-based Evacuation Modeling Framework: Seeking Convergence of Social, Natural, and Engineered Systems to Improve Life Safety in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Creator:: Chen, Chen
Abstract:: Social scientists have studied people's responses to disasters for many decades, and behavioral commonalities and variations are summarized in different mental schemes/models in disaster studies. Integrating those findings from social science into evacuation simulation can improve simulation accuracy and eventually better support decision-making and disaster preparedness. However, this kind of...

An evaluation of the oxygen resources in the lower Willamette River during a critical low flow period

Creator:: Kari, Earl Nyhus
Abstract:: The lower Willamette River, located between river mile 4.0 and 26.5, is the most seriously polluted section of the Willamette River Basin. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations of 2.0 to 3.0 mg/1 are observed annually in this section of the river due to the pollutional loads discharged into it. Waste discharges...
