  • Pore Water Pressure Response in Soil During Tsunami Loading : Numerical Formulation and Experimentation

    Creator:
    Abdollahi, Abbas
    Abstract:
    Tsunami loading can cause sediment instability, which can compromise the structural integrity of coastal buildings and infrastructure. To understand the process by which a tsunami can cause sediment instability, it is necessary to understand how the pore water pressure in the soil changes during tsunami loading. Tsunami run-up causes the...

  • Nonlinear oscillations, bifurcations and chaos in ocean mooring systems

    Creator:
    Gottlieb, Oded
    Abstract:
    Complex nonlinear and chaotic responses have been recently observed in various compliant ocean systems. These systems are characterized by a nonlinear mooring restoring force and a coupled fluid-structure interaction exciting force. A general class of ocean mooring system models is formulated by incorporating a variable mooring configuration and the exact...

  • Adsorption of hexavalent and trivalent chromium to a clayey silt soil : batch kinetic and equilibrium studies

    Creator:
    Bean, Gregory R.
    Abstract:
    Chromium, an element of widespread use, is toxic in some forms. Improper disposal of waste chromium products has resulted in contamination of many sites throughout the United States, including the United Chrome Products Superfund site in Corvallis, Oregon. A better understanding of chromium chemistry is needed to facilitate the remediation...
