A new look at the Ashtekar-Magnon energy condition

Creator:: Fischer, James P.
Abstract:: Quantum field theory has enjoyed much success, indeed for ordinary flat spacetime applications it has been experimentally verified to a great deal of accuracy. However on general cursed spacetime backgrounds there is no canonical method for constructing a quantum field theory. In 1975, Abhay Ashtekar and Anne Magnon made progress...

Advancements Toward the Simulation of Steel Structures in Fire Using OpenSees

Creator:: Gordon, James A.
Abstract:: Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...

The Fundamental Behavior of CLT Floor-to-Wall Connections in Fire

Creator:: Redus, James Aaron
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the fundamental behavior of CLT floor-to-wall connections during a fire. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panelized structures rely on floor-to-wall connections for the load path and stability of the structure. Additionally, the fire performance of these connections is critical to prevent horizontal or vertical fire spread within these...

Post-wildfire Investigation of Civil Infrastructure Following the 2018 Camp Fire

Creator:: Schulze, Stefanie S.
Abstract:: Wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities, where forested land boundaries or intermixes with infrastructure, are quickly growing in the US. WUI communities have grown substantially from 1990 to 2010, with an increase of 12.7 million houses and 25 million people. Wildfires encroaching on WUI communities can cause damage to both above ground...

Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

Creator:: Thorp, Tiana Noelani
Abstract:: Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...

Mental and biophysical terrains of biodiversity : conservation of oak woodland on family forest

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: This research analyzes how family forest owners conceptualize biodiversity in one high-conservation value area of oak woodland in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. Oregon white oak (Quercus garyanna) woodland, one of the most biologically diverse ecotypes in the state of Oregon, is in decline. Much of the oak ecotype...

Sustainability of Concrete in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Chaimov, Hilary
Abstract:: Reducing the CO2 emitted by the production of cement can greatly reduce the carbon emissions attributable to the built industry. By specifying concrete mixes with lower global warming potentials (GWPs), structural engineers can reduce the carbon emissions of concrete used in the built industry. This thesis uses a cradle-to-gate life...

Private forests, public policy : oak conservation on family forests in Oregon’s Willamette Valley

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: In the United States, many of the thorniest natural resource conflicts occur on private lands. This is especially true in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon where the hallmark habitat type, Oregon white oak woodland and savanna, is imperiled. Almost exclusively found on private land, Oregon white oak is threatened...
