Soil‐structure interaction has been an area of active research since the 19th century and has evolved significantly over the past 150 years (Kausel, 2010). Previous soil‐structure interaction studies have been based on numerical simulations (e.g., Costantino et al. 1976; Jensen et al. 1999; Jensen, Edil et al. 2001; Jensen, Plesha...
The Tertiary geologic evolution of the Oregon and Washington continental margin was molded by episodic periods of convergence between the Pacific oceanic plates and the North American plate. This margin is the site of a deep basin that is floored by Paleocene to lower Eocene oceanic crust and contains more...
This document presents the results from discrete element method (DEM) simulations of interface shear compared to previously published data from similar physical experiments. Rough shafts emplaced in granular assemblies are subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading and the results evaluated. The granular‐continuum interface behavior for different anchor surface roughnesses is...
This report summarizes the outcomes of a March 22-25, 2010, workshop in Seattle, Washington, on the environmental effects of tidal energy development. The workshop focused on building capabilities to evaluate the environmental effects of tidal energy from turbines placed in the water column throughout the United States. However, it did...
Despite the high economic and social value of Dungeness crab, no stock assessment work has been conducted on coastal Dungeness crab populations in Oregon. The fishery is currently managed based on a sex, size, and season strategy (e.g. males of a minimum size fished during specified months). It is estimated...
Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) is a nonprofit public-private partnership funded by the Oregon Innovation Council. Its mission is to support the responsible development of wave energy in Oregon. OWET emphasizes an inclusive, collaborative model to ensure that Oregon maintains its competitive advantage and maximizes the economic development potential of...
