Wood materials and shearwalls of older light-frame residential structures

Creator:: Carroll, Cameron T.
Abstract:: Light-frame construction practices and materials have changed greatly over the past 100 years. Contemporary research has focused on modern construction; thus, we know a great deal about the behavior of modern lightframe buildings under lateral forces. However, there are many light-frame buildings that were built prior to the introduction of...

Properties of marginal aggregates treated with asphalt emulsion

Creator:: Evans, Gary L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this report is to address the problem of supplying construction aggregates to Oregon's coastal areas that are currently, or will in the near future, be deficient of good quality materials. This is done primarily by studying methods of utilizing marginal aggregates that are abundantly available in the...

Proof of Concept for a Three-Dimensional Molded Core Wood-Strand Sandwich Panel

Creator:: Way, Daniel
Abstract:: Sandwich composites are typically produced from two high strength facings bonded to a lower strength, lightweight core. Sandwich design has proven to be efficient for applications demanding high strength and low weight. Wood-based sandwich composites have been largely limited to non-structural applications with the exception of structural insulated panels and...

Predicting the thermo-mechanical behavior of a gypsum-to-wood nailed connection

Creator:: Fuller, James J.
Abstract:: With high costs of testing and rating a structural system for fire resistance, the utilization of computer simulations that approximate the integrity of structural subsystems could conceivably reduce development costs. Before an analysis of a light-frame wood system can occur, information on the components of the substructure must be known....

Measuring and Correcting the Electrical Resistivity of Concrete Pore Solution in Fresh Mixtures

Creator:: Biever, Joseph H.
Abstract:: A vital aspect of concrete construction is quality assurance and control (QA/QC). Engineered structures must meet pre-determined and agreed-upon strength and durability requirements. Concrete falls into a specific category of infrastructure material because in most cases, these strength and durability requirements cannot be found until the material has at least...

Historic Farm Structures As Material Culture : An Oregon Study

Creator:: Judge, Barbara C.
Abstract:: The thesis is a case study of two traditional family farms that were settled in Oregon in 1850 and 1915. The study embraces the theory that material culture reflects customs and values. The material culture indicators within the study are the architectural structures of the Oregon farms. The study filters...

Evaluation of selected marginal aggregates stabilized with cement

Creator:: Chang, Chen
Abstract:: Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregate. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal aggregate available for construction purposes. The purpose of this report is to develop techniques for upgrading marginal aggregates with portland cement and methods for evaluating the relative performance of these stabilized materials...

Development of a standard accelerated weathering test for aggregates using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)

Creator:: Szymoniak, Tom
Abstract:: Some basaltic rocks common in Oregon when incorporated into a pavement structure as the base course aggregate or in the surfacing layer degrade and disintegrate owing to the minerals contained within the rock and the environment in which it is placed. To simulate the chemical degradation of basaltic rocks an...

Culture built upon the land : a predictive model of nineteenth-century Canadien/Métis farmsteads.

Creator:: Hebert, James Michael
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis is to provide a predictive model for the archaeological investigation of the first farmsteads in the Pacific Northwest, established in the early- and mid-nineteenth century by Canadien and Métis families retiring from their service in the fur trade. Past studies of this population have either...
