Vela, Katherine Nicole (2020-06-24)The focus for this dissertation was on empowering female students to pursue STEM fields. The first study in this dissertation was a content analysis which allowed the researcher to explore the various definitions and surveys ...
-
Barron, Taylor Austin (2016-08-10)A relatively new method for corrosion repair in steel pipelines has been developed by externally wrapping damaged pipes with composites. Both ASME PCC-2 and ISO 24817, engineering standards concerning pipelines and pipe ...
-
Arbind, Archana (2017-05-05)In this study nonlinear finite element models for beams and plates considering general higher-order expansions of the displacement fields have been developed, The models account for Cosserat continuum having constrained ...
-
Akkineni, Sneha (2018-07-26)The motion of structural systems is a major challenge faced in the field of structural engineering. Certain measures such as the application of passive, active and semi-active control devices as a solution to overcome the ...
-
Rugh, Michael Sze-hon (2021-12-08)In this four-article dissertation, I propose and examine the use of an educational technology, Dynamic and Interactive Mathematical Expressions (DIME) maps, to improve learning of physics. Receiving feedback from courses, ...
-
Ramesh, Karthika (2016-06-09)The series of recent extreme weather events and subsequent damage to the infrastructure has led to an increased concern regarding the design of structural systems for multi-hazard criteria. Since much of the multi-storied ...
-
Dincal, Selcuk (2010-12-08)Monitoring the integrity of civil engineering structures is an imperative aspect of public safety, since structural failures can pose serious threats to life and property. Periodic inspection performed throughout the life ...
-
Liu, Zaifeng (2014-05-05)This dissertation investigates the interaction of model II in-plane dynamic rupture with a geometrical discontinuity along the fault strike: stepover. One goal is to understand how large the stepover width must be to stop ...
-
Fry, Jonathan Robert (2020-04-15)This study focuses on the 3067 m MD fault captured in core recovered from the western damage zone of the San Andreas fault during Phase 1 drilling of the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) before the borehole ...
-
Craft, Ashley Marrie (2017-07-10)Schools and teachers are facing a difficult challenge of how to keep students engaged in mathematics and students’ lack of engagement is common nationally. The research conducted for this study focused on the effects of ...
-
Elizondo Ugarte, Daniel Fernando (2016-12-01)The geometry of principal slip zones and the structures of their damage zones can affect earthquake nucleation, propagation, and arrest. Geometric irregularities, such as bends and segmented faults (stepovers), can modify ...
-
Deng, Yong (2017-07-18)With the development of techniques and increasing need for the evaluation and prediction of pavements’ conditions during and after construction, the methodology of nondestructive testing (NDT) is generally applied in the ...
