Urban Stadium, Eric Moss

Architecture Senior Theses

Certain major urban elements have been pished into suburban environments to the detriment of cities. The thesis proposed that through investigating the implications of reinserting such a building into the urban condition, it can be demonstrated that both the city and the facility will benefit. The vehicle is the design of a public building which must mediate between its needs and its urban conditions. The project therefore should have a program which has specific requirements and the site should have a strong urban dynamic.

59th Street Bridge Museum And Market, Marciano Martin

School of Architecture - All Scholarship

This thesis is to serve as an investigation and response into the architectural issue of scale juxtaposition. In this case the condition which occurs is the result of a modern feat of engineering at one scale, disrupting and imposing itself onto an urban and historical context which is at a more intimate scale. Consequently, there is a loss of identity or spatial relationships in the urban context, which may have existed prior to this modern intervention. It is my goal to take advantage and develop a response to these disparate scales and their images. It is also the opportunity for …

1986.2 - Community Centre Hwy 30 Arlington, Martin Price, Robin D. Hudson, Joseph Scott Briant

School of Architecture Student Projects

Design work from the 1986 fall semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Community Centre. Robin D Hudson, scheme one, and Joseph Scott Brian, scheme two. The site is along highway 30 in Arlington adjacent to an amusement park and a water park. The form of scheme one rises from the ground where it contains a swimming pool, parallels the highway, changes direction and bridges over the highway with a restaurant. It then descends, appearing to go under the existing creek only to rise again on the other side with an outdoor theatre. The …

Parametric Excitation Of An Axially Moving Band By Periodic Edge Loading, W-Z Ben Wu, C. D. Mote

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Simple torsion parametric resonance and combination torsion-bending parametric resonance can be excited in an axially moving band by an in-plane periodic edge loading that is normal to the longitudinal axis of the band. The model simulates band saws, belts, magnetic tapes and like systems under edge forces. Sum combination instabilities, in particular, permit the excitation of low frequency resonances by higher frequency edge forces. Simple bending, combination torsion-torsion, combination bending-bending and difference type parametric instabilities are not excited by periodic normal edge forces. The space of band parameters leading to parametric instability shrinks with increasing axial tension and with increasing …

Some Uses And Potentials Of Qualitative Methods In Planning, Hemalata C. Dandekar

City and Regional Planning

Planners use methods borrowed from many disciplines. These are usually modified and adapted to meet planner's needs to acquire and sift through many diverse information sources helpful in dealing with complex problems. The quantitative methods which planners use are well known, well established in practice, and acknowledged by most as tools of the planners' trade. In contrast to this, most planners also use qualitative methods but these are rarely explicitly acknowledged. In this paper some of the qualitative methods used in planning are identified and categorized into three groups according to the special contribution that they make to the practice …

Infrastructure Planning In Rural Massachusetts, John R. Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong, Meir Gross, Robert D. Yaro

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

This paper describes the importance of understanding and dealing with the problems of infrastructure planning and maintenance in rural communities. Infrastructure is defined to include roads, bridges, water and wastewater collection and treatment systems, and public buildings and capital equipment. The authors base their findings primarily on the experience of communities in Massachusetts, but these findings are readily applied to the situation of rural communities elsewhere in the U.S.A. and other developed countries. Three major conclusions are presented in the paper: the need for rural communities to develop long-range plans for infrastructure maintenance and finance; the need to develop effective …

From Mill Town To Mill Town: The Transition Of A New England Town From A Textile To A High-Technology Economy, John Mullin, Jeanne Armstrong, Jean Kavanagh

Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series

This article describes and analyzes the economic transformation of Maynard, Massachusetts. Located twenty-six miles west of Boston, Maynard was the home of the world's largest woolen mill. In 1950 the mill closed and 1,200 jobs were lost. During the next ten years, the town gradually recovered as the mill became the home of several innovative companies. Ultimately, the mill became the headquarters for the world's largest manufacturer of minicomputers. The circle is now complete: the mill is full and houses a company that claims a "world's largest" designation. The article analyses the rise and fall of the American Woolen Company; …

Effects Of Cd(Ii) And Cu(Ii) On A Biofilm System, Shoou Yuh Chang, Ju-Chang Huang, Yow Chyun Liu

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

There is little information available in the literature to describe the effect of heavy metals on a fixed-film biological waste treatment system. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the toxic effect of Cd(II) and Cu(II) on a fixed-film biological reactor (rotating biological contractor) in treating a sugar waste. Different levels of cadmium (5 and 20 mg/L) and copper (1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/L) were dosed to a three-stage RBC unit treating an influent of 300 mg/L sugar solution. Experimental results indicated that the treatment efficiency was not adversely affected by the presence of copper at …

Permeability Testing In The Triaxial Cell., Gregory W. Carpenter, Richard W. Stephenson

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

It Has Been Suggested that a Triaxial Shear Test Chamber Can Be Used to Measure the Permeability of Low Permeability Soils. to Verify This, the Influence of a Number of Test Parameters on the Measured Coefficient of Permeability Was Investigated. Results Indicate Such Permeability Tests Should Be Performed on Samples Having a Minimum Diameter of 71. 1 Mm (2. 8 In.) and a Length to Diameter Ratio of 0. 5 to 1. 0. It Was Found that a Permeant Consisting of 1 G of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (Epsom Salt) Dissolved in 1 L of Deaired, Distilled Water is Adequate for …
