A Study Of The Correlation Potential Of The Optimum Moisture Content, Maximum Dry Density, And Consolidated Drained Shear Strength Of Plastic Fine-Grained Soils With Index Properties, Marvin Tartt Harris Jan 1969

A Study Of The Correlation Potential Of The Optimum Moisture Content, Maximum Dry Density, And Consolidated Drained Shear Strength Of Plastic Fine-Grained Soils With Index Properties, Marvin Tartt Harris

Masters Theses

"The correlation potential of the compaction properties and the consolidated drained shear strength parameters of plastic fine-grained soils with index properties was investigated in this study. The interrelationships of these properties were derived through graphical and multilinear regression analysis. The compaction properties, optimum moisture content, and maximum dry density were found to be related to many of the index properties. The most important relationships were with the plasticity indices and the percentage of particles smaller than two microns; the highest degree of simple correlation was achieved with the liquid limit. The consolidated drained shear parameters, cohesion, and the angle of …


Laboratory Measurement Of Pore Water Pressure Induced By A Model Friction Pile, Charles Alfred Miller Jan 1969

Laboratory Measurement Of Pore Water Pressure Induced By A Model Friction Pile, Charles Alfred Miller

Masters Theses

"This research program has been undertaken to develop a laboratory testing procedure for the measurement of pore water pressure induced by the static loading of a model friction pile. Most of the investigation involved the design, construction, and testing of equipment to be used during the tests which would produce satisfactory and reliable results. It was also desired to simulate field conditions during the tests. A series of tests were performed varying the consolidation pressure on the soil around the model pile. The effects of changing the location of the pore pressure measurements was also investigated. Results of the tests …


Correlation Of Particulate Theory And Behavior Of Real Soils, Christopher Byron Groves Jan 1969

Correlation Of Particulate Theory And Behavior Of Real Soils, Christopher Byron Groves

Masters Theses

"The behavior of granular soils subjected to triaxial stresses can be explained in terms of a combination of elastic deformation and sliding friction. Three sans and a coarse silt at various initial void ratios were tested in drained triaxial compression. Cell pressures were varied between 50 and 1500 psi. Prediction techniques for simulating laboratory data was based on various packings of equal radii spheres. Equilibrium and compatibility equations were used to calculate the principal strains under certain applied stresses. The assumed arrays predicted much smaller strains than those than the soils exhibited. If these strains were subtracted from those observed, …


A Study Of Different Types Of Connections To Structural-Steel Square Tubings, Chao-Sheng Chen Jan 1969

A Study Of Different Types Of Connections To Structural-Steel Square Tubings, Chao-Sheng Chen

Masters Theses

"Although square tubular element has long been recognized as an ideal structural member, its acceptance was limited by the lack of detailed knowledge on suitable connections related to this geometric shape. It is structurally inefficient to use a strong column poorly connected to a strong beam. So it is necessary to understand, in advance of adoption, the effect and behavior of different types of connections and to develop an efficient structural system. In this study, the ordinary column-to-beam framing with different types of connections has been investigated. The three types of connections are single-plate connection, double-angle connection, and multi-angle connection. …


Static And Dynamic Instability Analysis Of Rigid Frames With Timoshenko Members, Carlton Lee Smith Jan 1969

Static And Dynamic Instability Analysis Of Rigid Frames With Timoshenko Members, Carlton Lee Smith

Masters Theses

"In this thesis, a technique has been developed to determine the natural frequencies of plane rigid frames with the consideration bending, shear deformation, rotatory inertia, and internal axial forces. The internal forces are functions of the instability load of the vibrating system for which the effects of bending and shear deformation on the stability of this structure are considered. For the sake of completeness, the matrix formulations for the dynamic or stability analysis of a rigid frame are given. The stiffness matrices of these formulations are then derived. The influence of shear deformation, rotatory inertia, and internal axial force is …


A Study On Load Transfer Of Model Friction Piles, Richard Milton Franke Jan 1969

A Study On Load Transfer Of Model Friction Piles, Richard Milton Franke

Masters Theses

"Previous investigations concerned with disturbance of soft clay by driving displacement piles are summarized. The initiation of excess pore water pressures due to pile driving, and mechanisms of load transfer are also described, along with the applicapability of model pile testing in analysis of the various phenomena. Load tests were conducted on assorted sizes of model friction piles embedded in sedimented soil samples with consisted of a silt and clay mixture. Pilot holes of various diameters were cut in the samples. A theoretical load distribution curve was used to calculate the load transferred to the soil as a function of …


The Influence Of Organic Matter On Shear Strength Of A Cohesive Soil, Kamran Rezvan Jan 1969

The Influence Of Organic Matter On Shear Strength Of A Cohesive Soil, Kamran Rezvan

Masters Theses

"The shearing properties of an organic A̲ horizon of Bryce clay were studied and compared with the properties of the same soil treated with hydrogen peroxide. The treatment was to remove the organic matter and isolate it as a variable. Tests were performed on artificially sedimented samples of the untreated, 75 percent untreated, 50 percent untreated, 25 percent untreated, and the treated soil. The effective stress failure envelopes were found to be higher for the untreated soil than that of the treated. The elastic deformation, however, was larger for the untreated samples. The pore water pressure development due to shearing …


The Influence Of Several Factors On The Rate Of Secondary Compression Of Soil, William Joel Green Jan 1969

The Influence Of Several Factors On The Rate Of Secondary Compression Of Soil, William Joel Green

Masters Theses

"This research program has been undertaken to study the influence of load increment ratio, temperature, and sample thickness on Cα (rate of secondary consolidation) for a high organic content and low organic content soil. Consolidation equipment was designed to produce constant temperatures both above and below ambient, and to accommodate both 3/4 and 1 1/2 inch thick samples. Samples were molded into oedometer rings at the liquid limit. It was found that Cα was independent of the sample thickness and load increment ratio for both the high organic and low organic soils. The influence of temperature on Cα was found …


A Study Of A Lead Mining Waste Water Pollution Problem, William Earl Anderson Jr. Jan 1969

A Study Of A Lead Mining Waste Water Pollution Problem, William Earl Anderson Jr.

Masters Theses

"The waste water from the Fletcher Mine of the St. Joseph Lead Company was producing large algal growths in Bee Fork Creek. A field and laboratory study was conducted to determine the characteristics of the waste, find a method of determining the pollutional materials contained in the waste, study the undesirable algal growths, and develop and evaluate a practical, inexpensive, and effective pollution abatement method. Laboratory studies included analytical analysis of the waste, flotation reagent analysis, a microscopic study of the algal growths, algal growth studies, and heavy metal analysis of the algal growths. Field work comprised: a study of …
