Investigation Of Flow Rates Through A Rockfill Dam With An Internal Spillway, Jerry R. Bayless

Masters Theses

"Tests were performed on a model of a rockfill dam with an internal spillway for the purpose of developing a method of predicting the flow rate through the dam. The flow rate depends upon the head but is affected by the rock size and the height of the impervious core; there- fore, these factors were varied in the study. A relation for flow rate in terms of head was found for each combination of rock size and core height used and was compared to the general weir equation to find the coefficient of contraction; thus the effect of changing core …

A Study Of The Electro-Chemical Injection Of Ca(Oh)₂ Into Pure Kaolin Clay, Sam Michael Savas Jr.

Masters Theses

"The work presented in this thesis is the investigation and study of a possible and successful means of injecting an electrolyte solution into a fine grain soil mass with the use of electric current and to measure some of the changes of its physical properties. A NoKarb Georgia Kaolin Clay was treated by passing a preferential electrolyte solution of Ca(OH)₂ using direct current for a period of one and six days. The tests performed during this investigation included the following: (a) tri-axial tests, (b) atterberg limits, (c) pH determination, (d) moisture content change (from treatment), (e) visual settling of treated …

Gathering Haunch Design Data By Photoelasticity, Richard B. Heagler

Masters Theses

"The haunching of beams and columns and the haunching of rigid frames is performed by design engineers for the purpose of relieving stress concentrations that might occur at discontinuities in structures. The haunch performs this relieving of stress concentration by increasing the rigidity of the structure at regions of high stress. Usually this design step is one of trial and error; that is, the engineer will select a haunch or method of haunching and then check to see if the result is sufficient for his purpose. This can be a time consuming process and can lead to uneconomical design.

A Study Of Small Watersheds Within The State Of Missouri, Terence E. Harbaugh

Masters Theses

"The present status of data from watersheds in the under 10 square mile drainage area classification, pages much to be desired. However, this study of 45 small watersheds within the State of Missouri gives an indication that surface runoff from these basins may be predicted with a fair degree of accuracy. The inclusion of a shape factor AL² and its use as a portion of the "basin index" (AL²S^1/2) gives accurate results as a predictor of the "mean annual flood". The mean annual flood may be adequately computed by the formula, MAF = 113(AL^{2 …}

Velocity Distribution Induced By Free Jet Impact On A Stilling Basin, Sedat Özkol

Masters Theses

"At present, the use of the free jet impacting on a stilling basin as an energy dissipator is not very common, as there is very little information available concerning this particular field. However, if conditions are favorable, this type of energy dissipator will be quite economical to construct.

In this paper it was found that the hydraulic behavior of the free jet impacting on a stilling basin can be determined to a degree which may be considered accurate for practical purposes. It was also shown that given the free jet velocity, the magnitudes of the velocities at the critical points …

Analysis Of Flat Plates By Reaction Distribution Method, David D. W. Yang

Masters Theses

"This study was made to analyze rectangular flat plates by the method of Reaction Distribution and to compare results obtained by this method with that of other methods. The basic approach is to divide the plate into an equivalent grid system and introduce temporary supports at the intersecting joints. The results from this study shows that the Reaction Distribution method is useful in a qualitative analysis of the behavior in a plate but is less satisfactory in obtaining reliable quantitative results"--Abstract, page 2.

Shear Stress Distribution In Haunched Beam Models, Manyu K. Mehta

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis has been to give the distribution of shear stress inside a haunch. A haunch is generally provided to relieve high stress concentrations at the face of the column. However the nature of shear stress distribution inside the haunch is not known.

This stress distribution was determined from a photo- elastic study on a CR-39 model. It is noted that the haunch reduces the stress concentration at the face of the column but at the same time somewhere near the point where the haunch meets the beam there is a high stress concentration.

Shear stress changes …

Investigation Of Vertical Internal Spillways, Paul R. Munger

Masters Theses

"This investigation resulted in the development of a means of predicting the discharge of water through an internal spillway type rockfill dam. From the data obtained during the various tests, equations were developed by which the coefficient of discharge for an internal spillway type rockfill dam can be determined when the core height, rock size and head causing flow are known. The equations give results with an error of less than 5%, which is adequate for engineering works"--Abstract, page 2.

Effect Of Lime & Cement Additives On The Dynamic Modulus Of Elasticity Of A Clay Soil, Ismail Yolar

Masters Theses

"This thesis is a study to determine the values and characteristics of modulus of elasticity and the modulus of rupture of a clay soil stabilized with lime and cement in an effort to pave the way for including these values in design criteria.

The modulus of elasticity and the Poisson's ratio were obtained by sonic method. Specimens were broken in flexure for modulus of rupture. Experiments were performed with; (1) untreated soil, (2) soil with 4, 6, and 12 percent cement additive, (3) soil with a 3 percent lime additive and 0, 4, 6, and 12 percent cement additive, (4) …
