  • Cross-laminated timber engineering : improvement and application

    Creator:
    Kramer, Anthonie
    Abstract:
    The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel technology has opened up new opportunities for wood in tall buildings. Several characteristics including seismic performance and speed of construction have raised interest among designers. As CLT gains acceptance in the industry, alternative structural solutions need to be investigated to improve performance of...

  • Effective Bonding Parameters for Hybrid Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

    Creator:
    Larkin, Blake
    Abstract:
    Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America. CLT products must be certified for structural...

  • Response to ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation by attached assemblages of estuarine diatoms

    Creator:
    Brooker, Deborah L.
    Abstract:
    Global atmospheric pollution from chlorofluorocarbons has the potential of causing significant reductions in the concentrations of stratospheric ozone. If the production of chlorofluorocarbons were to continue into the future at the rate prevalent in 1977, the steady state reduction in total global ozone could be between five percent to ten...

  • An investigation into the role of spatial variability on liquefaction consequence severity

    Creator:
    Cary, John R.
    Abstract:
    During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...

  • 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...

  • A model to predict the bacterial quality of a rangeland stream

    Creator:
    Biskie, Howard A
    Abstract:
    Grazing cattle usually have access to streams as a source of drinking water. A model was developed for the personal computer to predict the bacterial quality of these streams. The model estimates the number of organisms that enter the stream by the direct deposit of feces and by runoff from...

  • Gravity interpretation using the Fourier integral

    Creator:
    Odegard, Mark Erie
    Abstract:
    The gravitational anomalies of simple bodies (sphere, cylinder, and fault) were used to develop methods for analyzing gravity data in the frequency domain. The Fourier transforms of the functional representations of the theoretical gravitational anomalies of these bodies were obtained. Mathematical formulations were made between the transform versus frequency relationships...

  • Experimental verification of a mismatch-shaping DAC

    Creator:
    Hudson, William Forrest, 1971-
    Abstract:
    Delta-sigma data converters have gained popularity in both analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters (ADCs and DACs) due to their simplicity, high linearity and immunity to many analog circuit imperfections. These data converters include features such as oversampling, noise-shaping, and (historically) single-bit quantization. Single-bit converters are preferred for their inherent linearity. This...

  • Simplified stability assessment for low volume road cut and fill slopes

    Creator:
    Pratt, Randy C.
    Abstract:
    Many miles of roads are built in the Pacific Northwest Forests to provide access for logging and fire protection. Logging roads often cross steep mountainous terrain. Logging roads and the associated cut and fill slopes represent a discontinuity in the natural stress state in the soil mantle. These conditions result...

  • Implementing best management practices in small commercial and non-commercial animal enterprises

    Creator:
    Godwin, Derek C.
    Abstract:
    Small commercial and non-commercial animal enterprises (SCAEs) raise a few beef cows, horses, pigs, sheep, poultry, and other animals on a few acres. These enterprises are often located in suburban areas of watersheds and show potential for degrading water quality through to increased bacterial, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentrations. SCAEs implement...
