Show moreThe objective of transportation decision-making is to decide which projects to invest in and implement, such that total utility of the transportation network after project implementation viewed from economic (total cost to the transportation agency and the user), social (traffic mobility and safety), and environmental (energy consumption and vehicle emissions) dimensions is maximized. In current state-of-practices, decisions are made in accordance with project benefits that are estimated by independently capturing localized impacts of individual projects. The ignorance of network-level impacts and interdependency relationships of individual projects does not ensure accurately estimating project benefits and making truly optimal investment decisions based on estimated project benefits. This thesis first discusses the need for conducting a comprehensive study to estimate network-wide benefits of interdependent transportation projects and identify the most cost-effective sub-collection of projects under budget and other constraints for implementation. Using data on travel demand, roadway network designs, and traffic operations, as well as six major projects proposed for possible investments to the Chicago Loop area, the proposed methodology is applied to the Frontline Solver optimization software in a computational study. In general, the hypergraph Knapsack model as part of the proposed methodology is found to be able to identify the best sub-collection of investment projects for implementation under various budget levels. Specifically, the computational study has revealed that the overall benefits in terms of travel-time savings after considering project network-wide impacts and their interdependency relationships are much lower (by 38-64 percent) and the rate of benefit increase follows a diminishing trend with a higher level of budget, suggesting that an optimal level of investments can be established for mobility improvements. Future research directions are pointed out on developing efficient solution algorithms to identify a reasonably small number of possible sub-collection of projects that contains the optimal solution. It is also proposed to consider additional transportation costs items that extend from travel times to include costs of facility construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance and vehicle operations, crashes, and emissions in the estimation of network-wide benefits of single and multiple projects.

Show moreNatural disasters effect everyday life not only immediately after the event but long after the community has rebuilt. Since the ultimate goal of the structural engineer is predicated on life safety, it would be irresponsible to allow the damages of the 2011 tornado season to go unaddressed. Appropriate research and development must be made into a priority for the governing bodies in charge of funding these activities. The data collected from the 2011 season should be more than enough to raise awareness to those responsible for such decisions. The first portion of this study is dedicated to elaborating on the past developments, current advancements, and speculating on future trends of governing standards. It is also helpful to associate these trends alongside data resulting from seismic activities in our nation, which we know to have great success in numbers. Current tendencies are revealed through a case study of (3) elementary schools built in the aftermath of a disaster stricken community in Flint, Michigan. Seismic provisions found its’ greatest breakthrough following the Long Beach Earthquake of 1933, where it was deemed federal law that all schools must uphold the standard that their structures are capable of withstanding earthquake forces. There should be no doubt that this would similarly prove to be a critical first step in protecting children in communities subjected to high-wind forces. If the successes of seismic provisions have any indication on the possibilities of properly funded research and development, then there should countless lessons to be learned across the range of topics covered here. With the incorporation of a federally funded network of facilities and better research data to rely on, design professionals can begin utilizing more adequate connection details into their structures. It is this top-down approach toward change that should move us closer toward creating sufficient design standards and in effect hitting the main objective of this profession, life safety.
