Relationships between seasonal suspended sediment behavior and reservoir turbidity

Creator:: Conner, Dan Alan
Abstract:: The causes of turbidity in impounded and released reservoir water are studied. Seven Willamette Basin reservoirs are compared to isolate watershed and reservoir characteristics which produce variations in turbidity. Of the seven, Hills Creek Reservoir is examined in detail. Particular features of the basin and impoundment are studied to isolate...

Analysis of evapotranspiration for various climatic regimes using geostatistics

Creator:: Nuss, Jeffery L.
Abstract:: Research was conducted to determine the applicability of using the theory of regionalized variables or geostatistics in characterizing the spatial variability of reference evapotranspiration (ETr) over various climatic regimes for the state of Oregon. The state was divided into five climatic regions based on topographic features and local meteorological conditions:...

Seismic protection of flexible rotating machines using base isolators

Creator:: Su, Wen-Chyi
Abstract:: Base isolation is an alternative seismic design strategy in which the primary structures and their internal components are uncoupled from the potentially damaging horizontal components of an earthquake by base isolators which attenuate the transmission of horizontal acceleration into the system. Rotating machines are among the key internal components of...

Dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces

Creator:: Grecco, Michael G.
Abstract:: The dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces is investigated. The theoretical nondeterministic analysis is performed in the frequency domain for a two-dimensional model. The ocean wave system is assumed to be a zero mean, stationary, ergodic Gaussian process described by a one-dimensional wave...

Modelling, validation and simulation of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear stochastic barge motions

Creator:: Bartel, Warren A.
Abstract:: Recent developments in estimation of the survivability of a U.S. Navy transport barge in random seas are extended to improve accuracy. The single Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) model of a extreme roll response of a barge used in previous research is replaced by a 3-DOF roll-heave-sway model to include linear and nonlinear...

The analysis of directional wave spectra from current and pressure measurements

Creator:: Lin, Li-hwa
Abstract:: Directional wave spectra have been estimated in this study based upon simultaneous subsurface measurements of current and pressure. Two previously developed methods, the stochastic and deterministic approaches, have been reviewed and restudied. It is demonstrated by means of the Correlation Theorem that the stochastic and deterministic approaches are, under certain...

Behavior of cellular bulkheads in deep sands

Creator:: Maitland, James Keith
Abstract:: Large-scale experiments on circular model cell bulkheads were conducted to define the distribution of hoop stresses, deflections of the cells, distortion of the cell fill, ultimate overturning resistance, and the critical mode of failure. The embedment depth of the model cells was varied to investigate the effect of embedment on...

The effect of mixing moisture, oxidative aging and tire pressures on the performance of asphalt mixes

Creator:: Kim, Ok-kee
Abstract:: The research undertaken consisted of the study of three topics affecting the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures, that is, mixing moisture, oxidative aging and higher tire pressures and axle loads. This thesis presents the findings of the research comprising these three topics. In the first study, the effects of mixing...
