  • Devising Theatre: Experience as Art

    Creator:
    Parham, Anne A
    Abstract:
    Any work of literature is a product of its time revealing truths about its culture. My thesis explores how pre-selected inspiration, personal experiences, and current events play a role in the devising process of a script. The inspiration for this particular devised play is Letters to a Young Poet by...

  • Penetration resistance predictions for driven piling

    Creator:
    Hansen, Lawrence A.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a method of predicting penetration resistance for driven piles, using known driving records for driving the same type piling in similar subsurface conditions. As known driving records are not always available to the analyst, a method was also investigated using soil data only. The analytical tools employed...

  • Summertime water temperature trends in Steamboat Creek Basin, Umpqua National Forest

    Creator:
    Holaday, Steven A.
    Abstract:
    The Steamboat Creek basin drains 227 mi² (588 km²) of steep forested terrain into the North Umpqua River of Southwest Oregon, 39 mi (63 km) northeast of Roseburg. Summer base flows for Steamboat Creek average 83 cfs (2.35 m³/sec). Steamboat Creek and its tributaries are considered important to the production...

  • Problem Solving Personas of Civil Engineering Practitioners using Eye Tracking Techniques

    Creator:
    Gestson, Sean L.
    Abstract:
    Engineering practitioners solve problems in various ways; it is plausible that they often rely on graphs, figures, formulas and other representations to reach a solution. How and why engineering practitioners use representations to solve problems can characterize certain problem-solving behaviors, which can be used to determine particular types of problem...

  • A preliminary assessment of post-fire dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Hyatt, Charles
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, the occurrence of large, high severity wildfires has increased substantially in many parts of the world, including the western United States. These fires have the potential to impact water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and downstream communities for many decades. As such, it is increasingly important to understand the...

  • A kinetic approach for the determination of sorption rate constants using a column-type reactor

    Creator:
    Patrier, Lionel
    Abstract:
    A Langmuir sorption model incorporating a second step of irreversible absorption was applied to a model soil system. The column was packed with cellulose triacetate; pulse and step input tests with 3,4-dichlorophenol were performed; the effluent concentration was measured by electron capture detector gas chromatography and sorption rate constants were...

  • A determination of ultimate pile capacity in clayey silt

    Creator:
    Thompson, Duane Melvin
    Abstract:
    Predetermining the ultimate capacity of piles driven into purely cohesive soils and purely cohesionless soils involves, respectively, the consideration of soil shear strength in a completely undrained and a completely drained condition. For the intermediate cases concerning soils that possess both cohesion and internal friction (silts, clayey silts, sandy clays,...

  • A manual for plate loading tests performed on rock

    Creator:
    Dodds, Donald J.
    Abstract:
    Plate loading tests in rock are deceptively simple tests to perform. Consequently, many varieties have been developed in the past 60 years. From each of the varieties various investigators have added their own developments and modifications, some good, and some not so good. The result has been a confusion of...

  • Behavior of a circular cell bulkhead during construction

    Creator:
    Khuayjarernpanishk, Thanasarn
    Abstract:
    A single cell in a 12 cell bulkhead was instrumented to observe its behavior and confirm design assumptions during construction. Vibrating wire strain gages were employed to measure horizontal strains in sheetpiling webs. These were converted to interlock force at eight locations and three elevations around the cell. The deformed...
