Field verification of a mathematical model for the physical fate prediction of dredged material instantaneously disposed at sea

Creator:: Hollings, William H.
Abstract:: Dredged spoil plumes are monitored during nine hopper dredge disposal events in 186 foot water depths offshore near Coos Bay, Oregon. Position and solids volume concentration characteristics of the plumes are established. Computer simulations of the monitored events are executed using the WES modified version of the Koh-Chang instantaneous disposal...

Examination of lateral stiffness and strength of pitched residential roof diaphragms with implications for seismic design.

Creator:: Kirkham, William J.
Abstract:: There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFD) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all SFD in...

Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Creator:: Porter, Aaron K.
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...

Simulation of coastal processes in a circular wave basin

Creator:: Katzev, David H.
Abstract:: The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral wavemaker in a circular wave basin. These were longshore currents, shear waves, and groin circulation. A beach...

Finite element analysis of culverts under embankments with time dependent and non-linear properties

Creator:: Lertlaksana, Voravit
Abstract:: A computer program was developed for analyzing culverts under earth embankments constructed of compacted cohesive soil using the finite element method. The culvert-embankment system is represented as a two-dimensional plane strain problem. The plane of investigation is taken normal to the culvert axis. The soil-culvert interface is assumed to be...

Ocean wave-soil-geotextile interaction

Creator:: McDougal, W. G. (William George)
Abstract:: Geotextiles are synthetic fabrics which may be substituted for graded aggregate to protect ocean and coastal structures from erosion and soil instability adjacent to the structure. They are commonly used as a filter and as a structural membrane between an undisturbed sediment surface below and an erosion resistant coarse aggregate...

Adjacent structure response sensitivity to seismic events using the direct differentiation method

Creator:: White, William S.
Abstract:: The response of adjacent structural systems to earthquake motions is investigated using the finite element framework OpenSees. Results of sensitivity analyses demonstrate that structural response quantities can increase in either or both of the adjacent structures for specific configurations. The structural models used include steel moment-resisting frames and rigid shear...

Land surface energy balance and surface soil moisture variation in HAPEX-MOBILHY

Creator:: Nichols, William E.
Abstract:: The HAPEX-MOBILHY regional experiment provided an significant opportunity to analyze the partition of energy and distribution of water over land surfaces. The combination of remotely sensed data and ground instrument networks over the large-scale in situ experiment allowed investigation of spatial and temporal variation of such hydrologic parameters as the...

The Effects of Temperature on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Concrete

Creator:: Coyle, Alex T.
Abstract:: Measuring resistivity as a method to calculate formation factor is becoming a popular way to evaluate transport properties of concrete. Resistivity measurements are dependent on multiple factors including the resistivity of the pore solution, leaching effects, the degree of saturation of the specimen, the age of the specimen (degree of...
