  • Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

    Creator:
    Stark, William D.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

  • Terrain sensitivity of Oregon coastal sand areas

    Creator:
    Starr, Richard Merritt
    Abstract:
    Based on a pilot study completed near Heceta Beach, Oregon, guidelines have been proposed for the development of Oregon coastal sand areas. The guidelines, in the form of performance standards are designed with respect to the variability of coastal sand areas. Landscape units and vegetation associations were grouped to reflect...

  • Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

    Creator:
    Stark, Duncan
    Abstract:
    While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

  • Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

    Creator:
    Stark, Duncan
    Abstract:
    Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...

  • Redefining the past : essays in diplomatic history in honor of William Appleman Williams

    Creator:
    Williams, William Appleman and Gardner, Lloyd C., 1934-
    Abstract:
    The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy.
