Recent Developments In The Use Of Precast Concrete Units For Buildings In The United States And Iran, Khosrow Ebadi Farshchi Aug 1973

Recent Developments In The Use Of Precast Concrete Units For Buildings In The United States And Iran, Khosrow Ebadi Farshchi

Dissertations and Theses

The object of this study was to investigate the recent developments in the use of precast prestressed concrete members for buildings in the United States and Iran. In the United States, the study was concerned with developments in the usage of members such as slabs, wall panels, beams and columns. The latest technical and engineering reports, along with personal interviews, were used, and a number of case studies were conducted on recently built structures. The author also studied the newest developments in the precast concrete industry in Iran. A questionnaire was formulated in both Persian (native language of Iran) and …


Legendre Coefficients For Series Solution Of The Orientation Distribution Function For Ellipsoidal Macromolecules In Two-Dimensional Laminar Flow, Myrne R. Riley Jan 1973

Legendre Coefficients For Series Solution Of The Orientation Distribution Function For Ellipsoidal Macromolecules In Two-Dimensional Laminar Flow, Myrne R. Riley

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The double refraction and viscosity of a suspension of asymmetrical colloidal particles subject to continuous laminar flow vary with the orientation distribution of the suspended particles produced by the shearing field and Brownian motion. Recursion formulas are developed for the Legendre coefficients of the series solution of the orientation distribution function for a suspension subject to two-dimensional laminar flow, thus, extending the works of Peterlin, Wayland, and Scheraga. © 1973.
