Show moreSeismic bridge design practice started in the United States in the mid-1970s. Bridges designed according to pre-1970 design codes may be seismically vulnerable. This vulnerability is generally because of inadequate reinforcement detailing, which may compromise the strength and ductility of bridge piers, columns and bents. The lack of adequate strength and ductility may lead to bridge failure under seismic loads. Several rehabilitation methods have been used to retrofit the deficient columns and piers so that their performance under potential seismic loads can be improved. Among these methods includes using: (1) concrete jackets; (2) steel jackets; and (3) fiber reinforced polymer composites. The latter method has attracted bridge engineers in recent years because of its easy application and it versatility to be used in bents and columns with non-circular cross sections. The objective of this thesis is to provide a summary of the current practice in using this type of material in bridge retrofit applications. The thesis presents an overview of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials behavior and properties, and their composition. Furthermore, the behavior of reinforced concrete columns, when confined with FRP jackets, is reviewed. Available design methods used for determining the FRP jacket thickness and other design properties needed for application in seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete columns are also reviewed, presented and discussed.

Title: INFLUENCE OF OWNER-ORGANIZATION IMPRESSION AND CONTRACT FRAMING ON CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS' RISK PERCEPTIONS

Show moreIn a construction project, it is generally accepted that the contractor's perceived risk is the main factor in determining what is to be proposed as the project cost and duration. Both the owner-organization and the contractor are aware of the existing risks and the owner-organizations tend to mitigate the existing risks by using the construction contract. It is hypothesized that the contractor’s initial impression of the owner-organization is a factor in the contractor’s perception of risk. It is further hypothesized that the initial impression is influenced by the content and context of the construction bid documents, which further influences the perceived risk and the bid strategy. The goal is to investigate the factors that influence contractors' impression of the owner-organization and to study the effects of contract document language and content in the impression formation process and subsequent development of a bid strategy. By better understanding the factors and relationships that influence impression formation and risk perceptions, it is expected that substantial time, money and unnecessary contention between these parties can be eliminated.

Show moreThis thesis studies the acoustics of a 793 seat multi-use theater. The theater is a fan shaped hall with acoustical properties that the building owners found to be wanting. The acoustics were first measured using eight microphones and a frequency-sweepproducing source. The measured reverberations were then used to design and calibrate a model of the space in CATT, an acoustical modeling program, after which a variety of other unmeasured qualities of the space were calculated from the CATT model. This information was used to design a plan to improve the acoustics of the theater; the hall’s volume was increased by moving the back balcony wall farther back in order to increase the reverberation, the ceiling was reshaped in order to more evenly distribute the first order reflected rays to the audience, and some of the walls were resurfaced to alter the frequency effects of the walls. All these alterations are feasible from an engineering perspective. The proposed changes were then modeled in CATT to confirm they would have the desired effects.

Title: KINETIC PARAMETERS SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF THE CALUMET WATER RECLAMATION PLANT USING GPS-X

Show moreIt is an important objective to find equilibrium between cost and effluent water quality at the Calumet water reclamation plants (WRP). Kinetic parameters of activated sludge process have significant influence on effluent water quality. In this study, based on a simulation model, sensitivity analysis methods were used to assess the effects of six kinetic parameters on dissolved oxygen, carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD5), and effluent ammonia concentration. According to the values of kinetic parameter, two cases: ±10% perturbation of the typical default value and full parameter range were studied. Results presented that main effects have important effects on the output variables. Heterotrophic maximum specific growth rate, heterotrophic decay rate, autotrophic maximum specific growth rate, autotrophic decay rate, and maximum specific hydrolysis rate have relatively significant sensitivity. In addition, the influences of the interactions among kinetic parameters are discussed. Keys words: Kinetic parameters; sensitivity analysis; water reclamation plants; dissolved oxygen; CBOD5; ammonia

Title: NETWORK-LEVEL VEHICLE CRASH PREDICTIONS INCORPORATING TIME-DEPENDENT EFFECTS INTO CONSIDERATIONS

Show moreMaintaining highway safety is viewed as the over-arching goal of mananging transportation systems at all levels. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 37,000 people got killed and 2.35 million are injured in road crashes annually. The equivalent economic and societal losses are on the order of over $231 billion, or an average of $820 per person. Thus, developing vehicle crash models that can accurately predict crash occurrences becomes essential. The study begins with literature review of models for predicting vehicle crash frequencies and crash severity levels on highway segments and at highway intersections. The findings of literature review indicate that some models lack prediction accuracy owing to exclusion of many crashing contributing factors. Consequently, a new methodology for improved vehicle crash predictability is proposed to include as many crash contributing factors as possible. In addition, the proposed methodology aims to conduct crash predictions targeting a highway network. Two computational experiments are performed for methodology application, including one on highway segment-related crash predictions using data on Highway Safety Information System for Illinois from 2001 to 2010, and another one on intersection-related crash predictions using crash data on more than one thousand intersections for period 2004 to 2010 provided by city of Chicago. Cross comparisons are made on the results obtained by applying the proposed methodology, method documented in Highway Safety Manual (AASHTO, 2010), and Empirical Bayesian (EB) before-after method for validation. The proposed methodology is found to have out-performed the other two methods. Future research directions are provided for continuing refinements of the proposed methodology.
