The seismic geotechnical modeling, performance, and analysis of pile-supported wharves

Creator:: McCullough, Nason J.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the seismic performance and analysis of pile-supported wharves. Given the limited number of well-documented field case histories, the seismic performance of pile-supported wharves has been poorly quantified, and the analysis methods commonly employed in engineering practice have...

The seismic vulnerability of sheet pile walls

Creator:: McCullough, Nason J.
Abstract:: The seismic performance of port structures has been well documented following recent earthquakes, and indicates that port structures are highly susceptible to earthquake-induced damages. These damages are primarily due to soil liquefaction and the associated ground failures. Sheet pile bulkheads provide vital intermodal and lifeline transportation links between water-side and...

Predicting pore pressure response in in-situ liquefaction studies using controlled blasting

Creator:: Eller, James Michael
Abstract:: Originally used as a method to densify loose soils, controlled blasting has expanded its applicability to geotechnical engineering by becoming a research tool to physically generate liquefaction for full-scale in-situ tests, ranging from seismic performance of deep foundations to evaluating ground improvement techniques. Current methods used to design the blasting...

Structural investigations to understand the mechanisms of two proteins involved in sulfur chemistry : SsuE and cysteine dioxygenase

Creator:: Driggers, Camden McCullough
Abstract:: Sulfur is one of the six elements required during the early stages of the evolution of life, and enzymes involved in sulfur transfer and oxidation are increasingly being recognized as potential drug targets for antimicrobials as well as for therapies for cancer, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Bacteria are able to...

The effects of engineered coatings and natural organic matter on nanoparticle aggregation

Creator:: McDowell, Shannon A.
Abstract:: In order to better predict the aggregation state of nanomaterials, the factors that influence aggregation must be understood. The combined effects of natural and engineered coatings have been shown to factor into nanoparticle aggregation behavior in preliminary research. In this study, aggregation behaviors of gold nanoparticles with two different engineered...

Analytical determination of copper speciation in Oregon highway runoff

Creator:: Sprick, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Low concentrations of dissolved copper have been shown to adversely affect the olfactory system of endangered salmonids, impairing their ability to avoid predators and likely increasing predation. It is believed that only the free ionic (Cu2+ free) and weakly complexed forms are bioavailable to organisms; these forms typically account for...

Development of traceable metal oxide nanoparticles for examining environmental fate and transport

Creator:: Rowbotham, Brian
Abstract:: The fate and transport of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂) are of concern due to their increasing use in consumer products. Although analytical methods for detection and quantification of ENPs in environmental matrices are being developed, these methods are difficult, time consuming, and not easily validated for...

Interactions between natural organic matter and gold nanoparticles stabilized with different organic capping agents

Creator:: Stankus, Dylan Paul
Abstract:: The adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) to the surfaces of natural colloids and engineered nanoparticles is known to strongly influence, and in some cases control, their surface properties and aggregation behavior. As a result, the understanding of nanoparticle fate, transport and toxicity in natural systems must include a fundamental...
