Vulnerability Assessment Of Critical Bridges In The Hampton Roads Region Of Virginia To Storm Surge Flooding Under Sea Level Rise, Luca Castrucci
Vulnerability Assessment Of Critical Bridges In The Hampton Roads Region Of Virginia To Storm Surge Flooding Under Sea Level Rise, Luca Castrucci
Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations
In this thesis, a hydrodynamic model was developed to study the vulnerability of the transportation infrastructure in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia to storm surge flooding under sea level rise. The Hampton Roads region is the second most affected area by relative sea level rise in the United States. The hydrodynamic model was validated for tide prediction, and its performance in storm surge simulation was validated with data from Hurricane Irene (2011). The developed model was then applied to eight flood-prone bridges in the transportation network that connect the cities of Norfolk, Hampton, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth; the …

A growing trend within the U.S. Navy is to streamline operations by deploying ships with less sailors, who are more highly skilled technicians that are trained to do a wide array of jobs. Modern ships also include various automated systems that require more highly skilled technicians for maintenance. Outdated warship designs are now being replaced with industrial grade automation equipment. Such equipment is being used in warships that encounter harsher environments than what exists in the civilian industry. Hence, there is a need for training in regards to industrial grade automation equipment for military and civilian ship repair partners. Marine …

Additive manufacturing has recently gained the attention of multiple stakeholders, including those in the advanced manufacturing industry, research and government labs, academia, and the Navy community. Various efforts within the Navy focus on studying the best way for parts to be built and repaired for marine and naval vessels. Rapid manufacturing of spare components is particularly important for sailors, especially while deployed on warships, as they often do not have timely access to spare parts from the supply chain. For that purpose, a multidisciplinary team of engineering and education faculty have developed a series of workshops to train on-duty sailors …
