Mitigating Wildfire Impacts on Mobility Using GIS, Fire Modeling, and Operations Simulation

Creator:: Al-Hamadani, Saifaldawlah
Abstract:: Wildfires are a recurring disaster that threatens communities living close to forests and result in significant financial losses along with negative environmental effects, especially with the increase of wildfire season length and intensity due to climate change and increasing urbanization. Wildfire events can also have a significant impact on the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Assessing the Trade-Off Between Sustainability and Resiliency of Reinforced Concrete Alternatives in Corrosive Conditions: An LCA-System Dynamics Approach

Creator:: Moreno Rangel, Erick D.
Abstract:: Concrete has been categorized as a key contributor of CO2 (carbon) emissions into the atmosphere. This is mostly associated with the production of ordinary portland cement (OPC). The concrete and cement industries are pursuing a path to reduce their carbon emissions generally in accordance with the climate change goals outlined...

Hydrodynamic characterization of floating offshore wind turbines : an experimental and numerical multi-degree of freedom analysis

Creator:: Gadasi, Jonah B.
Abstract:: Wind energy has become a crucial resource in sustainably meeting increasing global energy demands. Recently, offshore wind energy has been gaining traction due to its higher gross resource and larger unclaimed real-estate relative to its onshore counterpart. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are increasingly popular, particularly designs with semisubmersible platforms....

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

Modular Cross Laminated Timber Structures Using Underutilized Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Bhandari, Sujit
Abstract:: Conflicts and disasters displace millions of populations worldwide. There is a need for rapid and affordable housing to cater to the needs of the displaced and unhoused population. Experience from previous post-disaster responses shows that temporary housing should be rapidly deployable, planned for months to years, and should be environmentally...

Evaluation of Setback Crosswalk to Mitigate Vehicle-Pedestrian Conflicts at Intersections

Creator:: Chai, Eileen Pei Ying
Abstract:: It is considered best practice when designing pedestrian access at intersections to provide two curb ramps at each street corner. In Oregon, there are many locations where long ramp runs cause curb ramps to be set back a significant distance from the apex of the intersection corner to meet this...

Advancements Toward the Simulation of Steel Structures in Fire Using OpenSees

Creator:: Gordon, James A.
Abstract:: Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...

Experimental and Analytical Studies of Large-Scale Pile Caps

Creator:: Al-Sakin, Yasmeen
Abstract:: Pile caps are structural elements used to transfer loads from columns to a group of piles, which transfer them to stronger soil layers. Pile cap with horizontal distance between the column and piles less than twice its effective depth is categorized as "deep," where significant nonlinear strain distribution occurs through...

Cross-Laminated Timber-Concrete Composite Floor Systems for Tall Building Design

Creator:: Morrell, Ian
Abstract:: With growing interest in mass timber, especially mass timber panels (MTP), there has been a need to better understand their structural properties. One of the most versatile uses for MTP are as floor systems. Under new code provisions, these floors can be utilized in new and taller building types, but...

Influence of Uncertainties in Terrestrial Laser Scanning on Structural Reliability and Bridge Load Rating

Creator:: Loving, Carly K.
Abstract:: To ensure the safety of the nation’s bridges, the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) require all bridges to undergo routine load rating analyses to assess their structural capacity. Accurate geometric information for each structure is necessary for load rating analyses. This information is typically ascertained from as-built plans. Still, when...
