\n "Flexural Steel Anchorage Performance at Diagonal Crack Locations"\n

\n

\n A significant number of reinforced concrete deck girder bridges constructed in Oregon during the 1950s have developed diagonal crac king in the stems. Compared to the present AASHTO standards\, the\n prov isions of the 1950s allowed for higher shear stress in the concrete\, thus reducing the amount of transverse steel required. Further\, service loading has increased over time. When load rating\n these structures\, the curr ent design specification check of tension reinforcement anchorage often con trols the capacity of these bridges. This check compares the applied tensil e force in the\n reinforcement to the tensile force developed by the bon d between the reinforcement and the concrete. The applied tensile force is controlled be the load-induced shear\, the number of stirrups\, and\n th e diagonal crack angle. However\, the crack angle considered in the design specification is flatter then the angle of the vertically oriented cracks g enerally noted in field inspections. The\n tensile force that can be dev eloped in the bar depends on the diameter of the bar and the embedment leng th\, however\, little information is currently available regarding the bond stresses\n developed in larger diameter bars for full-size specimens in the presence of diagonal cracks.\n

\n

\n If it can be shown fr om experiment that anchorage capacity is controlled by the observed field i nspection angle rather than the AASHTO design specified angle\, then curren t bridge ratings could be\n improved. Similarly\, load ratings may impro ve with a more detailed understanding of bond stresses under these conditio ns. Ultimately\, improved understanding of the response of these bridge\n girders can maintain the operational safety and freight mobility of the t ransportation system thereby allowing optional use of available resources f or repair or replacement of truly deficient\n bridges\n

\n "Tsuna mi Evacuation Building - Cannon Beach City Hall"\n

\n

\n The p roject is redesign Cannon Beach City Hall. In order to evaluate the tsunami evacuation building\, a test is conducted in the O.H. Hinsdale Wave lab. P revious research of tsunami effect on\n structures usually considers a s tructure a vertical wall in a 2-D environment. But in reality\, the 3-D eff ect cannot be neglect\, because actual buildings have finite breadth. In ad dition\,\n friction of terrain in a real case can be significant too. Th e test will investigate tsunami forces on 3-D building model\, and study th e effect of terrain friction and a small step in front of\n the building . This test will give a better understanding of 3-D effect of tsunami flow around buildings. Also\, data obtained in the test will help improve Yeh's method for computing tsunami\n forces by taking friction of terrain into consideration. The test provides the effectiveness of a step formation in front of the building as well.\n

\n "Introduction of Calcium Alumina te Cement"\n

\n

\n This report introduces basic knowledge on t he chemistry and performance of calcium aluminate cements (CACs). Due to di fferent chemistry and microstructure\, CAC possesses unique properties such as\n high early strength\, ability to harden under low-temperature and superior durability to a wide range of chemically aggressive conditions. Ho wever\, with issues like strength loss due to\n conversion\, the use of CAC has been limited for structural applications. Therefore\, applications and durability of CAC are main concerns in the report. Also several potenti al research interests\n are proposed in this report.\n

\n

\n The Order of the Engineer is a group o f engineers in the United States who have declared their responsibility to the public and to the profession. The Ring Ceremony is the public\n induction of candidates into the Order of the Engineer\, durin g which the engineer candidates formally accept the Obligation of an Engine er and receive a stainless steel ring to be worn as a\n symbol on the fi fth finger of the working hand.\n

\n

\n In Canada\, originally forged from the steel of failed bridge members\, the Order of the Engineer Ring is worn to remind all engineers of what is at stake in our profession. To learn more\n information about the Order of the Engineer please read the Order's webpage: http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org/e-ring.htm.\n < /p>\n

\n Friends and family are invited to both the ceremony and rec eption that follows.\n

\n You must have graduated from an ABET accredited undergraduate engin eering program to be inducted.\n
