  • Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Damage Assessment of the Built Environment : Applied at Seaside, Oregon

    Creator:
    Park, Hyoungsu
    Abstract:
    Damage estimates to the built environment from tsunamis are important for disaster mitigation, including planning emergency response and recovery. This dissertation evaluates the damage states of buildings in a small urban coastal city, Seaside, Oregon, from tsunami hazards generated by a Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) event. This study is separated...

  • Tsunami-induced Soil Instability

    Creator:
    Fischer, Rachael Marie
    Abstract:
    Recent tsunami field surveys from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have recorded numerous examples of tsunami-induced soil instability: significant scour around foundations, foundation failure of piles, and other damage caused by liquefaction. From the observations of soil instability leading to the failure of critical coastal structures, it...

  • Tsunami inundation : estimating damage and predicting flow properties

    Creator:
    Wiebe, Dane Michael
    Abstract:
    The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events have shown the destructive power of tsunami inundation to the constructed environment in addition to the tragic loss of life. A comparable event is expected for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) which will impact the west coast of North America. Research...

  • Agent-based Tsunami Evacuation Model : Life Safety and Network Resilience

    Creator:
    Mostafizi, Alireza
    Abstract:
    Natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public. In the Pacific Northwest, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) represents one of the most pressing...

  • Essays on Regional Economic Impact Assessment and Demand Analysis using Disaggregated Data

    Creator:
    Chen, Yunguang
    Abstract:
    The appropriate use of disaggregated economic data not only improves the accuracy and robustness of economic analyses, but also extends the existing economic models to address new aspects of the issue. This dissertation consists of three essays: two essays use disaggregated economic-engineering data to address spatial heterogeneity in economic losses...

  • Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

    Creator:
    Baron, Heather M.
    Abstract:
    Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...
