Stability of heterogeneous and anisotropic slopes determined by the compound logarithmic spiral limit equilibrium method

Creator:: Stockton, Ezra J.
Abstract:: The logarithmic-spiral (log-spiral) limit equilibrium procedure for slope stability analysis rigorously satisfies both force and moment equilibrium with a failure surface geometry formulated as a function of the soil’s angle of internal friction. Within the framework of limit equilibrium, this procedure has, in the past, been primarily limited to homogeneous...

Investigation of Drilled Shafts under Axial, Lateral, and Torsional Loading

Creator:: Li, Qiang
Abstract:: Drilled shaft foundations provide significant geotechnical resistance for support of structures, such as highway bridges, traffic sign, and signal pole structures, and are used widely to meet their structural foundation requirements. The amount of steel reinforcement in drilled shaft foundations has increased over the past several decades to account for...

A comparison of Computer-Assisted Instruction with Prescription Learning and the traditional "pull-out" program used in supplementing instruction of mathematics basic skills to Chapter I (Title I) students

Creator:: Miller, Suzanne Winifred Hilton
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the Chapter I supplemental mathematics program CAI with other Chapter I supplemental mathematics programs, Prescription Learning and the traditional "pull-out" program, in terms of achievement and retention of mathematics basic skills. There were 577 Chapter I students from 12 middle schools and...

Factors affecting establishment, survival, and production of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Creator:: Cooper, Clee Scott
Abstract:: Field, greenhouse, growth chamber and laboratory experiments evaluated factors affecting establishment, survival and production of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Field studies investigated the effects of a barley companion crop, seedling year harvest management and nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization upon stands, survival and subsequent production...

Evaluation and Modification of a Thixotropic Fluid Model for Liquefaction Triggering with Application to Laboratory Tests and Lateral Spreading

Creator:: Brown, Tovey M.
Abstract:: Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a large contributor to damage observed following seismic events. Commonly observed damage consists of significant ground and structural failure due to the deformation of large volumes of soil due to soil liquefaction and lateral spreading. A significant focus of geotechnical seismic research concentrates on the development and...

Excited state molecular structural evolution and chemical reactivity studied by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

Creator:: Han, Fangyuan
Abstract:: In this dissertation, my research work on excited state dynamics of small organic molecules in solutions is presented. Using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) as the main experimental tool, the excited state hydrogen-bonding dynamics (ESHBD) of Coumarin 102, a common laser dye molecule, in ethanol solution is examined with <150...

Hitchcock in Hollywood: Examining the Master of Suspense’s Career with Rebecca and Psycho

Creator:: Flanagan, Matthew S.
Abstract:: This project examines the production histories of two films that Alfred Hitchcock directed, his Hollywood debut Rebecca (1940) and the memorable Psycho (1960). The first chapter explores how Hitchcock succeeded and failed at influencing the picture as he, despite directing the movie, had to follow the vision that his producer,...

Full-Scale Experimental Investigation of the Seismic Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Column-Footing Specimens Retrofitted with Titanium Alloy Bars Considering Effects of Soil-Structure Interaction on Vintage and Retrofitted Column-Footing Specimens

Creator:: McGinn, Logan
Abstract:: Reinforced concrete (RC) column-footing substructures are widely used to support bridges along critical transportation corridors in Oregon. Those built prior to 1971 were typically designed to resist only gravity loads. Therefore, they are vulnerable to damage or collapse during strong ground shaking. To prevent collapse, seismic retrofits have been developed...

Characterization of reinforced fill soil, soil-reinforcement interaction, and internal stability of very tall MSE walls

Creator:: Walters, James J.
Abstract:: In many geotechnical design situations involving tight right-of-way constraints, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are often the most cost-effective and reliable earth retention technology among available alternatives. However, few well-documented case histories with detailed material testing, instrumentation programs and construction observation of performance are available in the literature. Despite the...
