Subducting Seamounts and Heceta Bank: An Amphibious Seismic Tomography Experiment of the Central Oregon Forearc

Creator:: Nolan, Sarah
Abstract:: Studies reveal differences in slip segmentation and plate coupling along the Cascadia subduction zone. The segment between 44.0°N and 45.0°N exhibited reduced slip in the 1700 megathrust earthquake (Wang et al., 2013) and corresponds with previous rupture boundaries inferred from paleoseismic data (Leonard et al., 2010). Notably, this segment of...

Impact of Hot Isostatic Pressing Parameters on Interface Evolution in Uranium Molybdenum Monolithic Plate Fuel

Creator:: Koziol, Adam
Abstract:: The monolithic (plate type) Uranium 10 wt.\% Molybdenum (U-10Mo) fuel system is promising for a variety of applications, most notably for the replacement of highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuels with low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel in United State High Performance Research Reactors (U.S. HPRRs). Phase transformations and secondary phase formation...

Seismic Performance of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Columns Including Soil Structure Interaction

Creator:: Parson, Lance
Abstract:: There are many existing bridges around the world that were designed without consideration for seismic effects. Many of these bridges were designed before modern earthquake engineering design standards and practices existed and thus are expected to perform poorly during strong ground shaking. Common structural deficiencies are found in their reinforced...

Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:: Baker, Josiah D.
Abstract:: This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...

Distribution of Live Biomass, Herbivory and Foliar Retention in Central Oregon Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana) Crowns

Creator:: Burke, Adam O.
Abstract:: Lodgepole pine (Pinus conorta) is a widely distributed forest type across western North America. Central Oregon lodgepole pine forests are ecologically unique when compared to other lodgepole pine ecosystems. Sierra lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana) is the dominant variety and often exists as the climax species on pumice soils,...

Numerical simulation of mechanically stabilized earth walls for parametric evaluation of behavior under surcharge loading

Creator:: Ambauen, Spencer J.
Abstract:: A numerical model, simulating the complex behavior of reinforced soil walls using the finite element method, was developed to evaluate the behavior of a surcharged, geosynthetic-reinforced retaining wall with modular block facing. A nonlinear elastic-plastic constitutive soil material model was calibrated to experimental plane strain test data, while the performance...

Behavioral thresholds in mixtures of sand and clay

Creator:: Simpson, Daniel Corder
Abstract:: Nearly all soils are comprised of mixtures of coarse and fine particles. Behavior under mechanical and thermal loading of soil is strongly influenced (and in some cases, governed) by the ratio of coarse to fine particles. A better understanding of the fundamental behavior of soil mixtures will provide insight to...

What Do Girls Learn from Dolls? Sexualized Stimuli and Girls’ Body Esteem and Academic Performance

Creator:: Lundeberg, Pamela J.
Abstract:: Although a significant amount of research has investigated the effect of sexualization on women's body esteem and cognitive performance, few researchers have examined the effect of sexualization on girls. Additionally, research that has been conducted regarding girls' experiences of sexualization has primarily focused on media influences. The effect of dolls...

The role of alumina in the mitigation of alkali-silica reaction

Creator:: Warner, Skyler J.
Abstract:: The use of fly ash as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) has increased in the last century due to its various environmental benefits as a recycled product. Within the last 60 years, it has been found that it can be used to effectively control damage induced by Alkali-Silica Reaction. However,...

Effects of soil slope on the lateral capacity of piles in cohesionless soils

Creator:: Barker, Paul D.
Abstract:: Deep foundations, including driven piles, are used to support vertical loads of structures and applied lateral forces. Many pile supported structures, including bridges, are subjected to large lateral loads in the form of wind, wave, seismic, and traffic impact loads. In many practical situations, structures subjected to lateral loading are...
