Wind And Earthquake Stresses In Tall Buildings, Henry A. Reynolds

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

With the increasing cost of land in the modern city it has been necessary to expand upward rather than on the surface. The result has been to concentrate commercial and industrial enterprises in small areas whose influence is felt over the entire world. Notable examples are New York and Chicago. In these developments the engineer has played no small part. It is claimed by some that the maximum economic height has been reached at a thousand feet. However, both the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings have slightly passed this mark. It is not improbable that even taller buildings then these …

Economic And Engineering Study For The Rehabilitation Of An Obsolete Factory Area, William E. O'Brien

Bachelors’ Theses

The first example of City Planning in America was the laying out of the National Capital by the French Engineer L’Enfant. The next attempt at grouping of buildings extends .back at least to the World's Fair in Chicago. Following this, contributions to¬ ward better and broader planning were made by an organized group of architects, engineers, and landscape architects. This was followed by studies of better housing facilities, the forming of the Outdoor Art Association and the American League for Civic Improvements, both of which were later merged into the American Civic Association.

Producer Gas Practice In The Steel Industry, Horace Wilfred Hodges

Professional Degree Theses

"The sources of energy for the industries are: 1. Water power; 2. coal, lignite, peat and Wood; 3. Natural and Artificial Gas; 4. Oil; 5. The Sun;s Rays; 6. The tides. The latter two sources may be eliminated from immediate practical use, owing to their cost and limited application. Therefore, the burden for many years will rest upon Water power, coal, gas and oil. We may also eliminate water power from the source of energy of the steel industry, due to the Mill's geographical location. Hence, for the near future, the steel industry's soul rests upon the production of coal, …

Some Compressed Air Tests At High Altitude, Thomas C. Robson

Professional Degree Theses

"These tests were made at one of the mines of the "Compania Minera de Potosi", situated in the Cerro Rico (Rich Hill) of Potosi, BOLIVIA, South America; to be used in a report of the General Mine Superintendent, to the mine owners, to show them, that to obtain better results in the compressed air plant, it was necessary to change the existing old compressors working underground"--Preface, page ii.

The Effect Of Occluded Air In Dry-Press Mixes, William Raymond Powell

Bachelors Theses

"The effect of occluded air in clay mixes has recently become a subject of considerable importance especially since some of the defects occuring sic in dry-press ware, such as cracks and soft or granulated centers, have been either partially or wholly attributed to occluded air. According to this theory, the defects are due to the entrapping of air among the clay grains before compression, which, when the pressure is released, has a tendency to expand and cause a rupture in the bond. Also granulated centers have been explained by the fact that the entrapped air may act as a cushion, …

The Determination Of The Alumina Content In Diaspore And High Alumina Clays, W. D. Keller

Bachelors Theses

"The determination of the alumina in diaspore and kindred high alumina clays has been a problem which has attracted the interest of ceramists and chemists ever since a sample of Missouri diaspore was first sent for analysis to the laboratories of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1917...It is the writer's intention to review in this paper the various published methods for the determination of alumina in high alumina clays and to present a new indirect one that after some months' use in industrial practice, fulfills, in some measure at least, the need outlined above"--Introduction, page 1 -2.

A Power Study Of A Laboratory Ball Mill, Frederick Clearman

Masters Theses

"Ball milling practice in the ore dressing industry is largely empirical. Although many investigators have worked on various of its phases, the present operating methods are mostly a matter of cut-and-try, with the result that the industry is not guided by its underlying principles. Consequently, practice varies extensively with regard to nearly all conditions of operations. Even in neighboring concentrators such factors as speed, ball charge, and ore load differ in similar ball mills. Since fine grinding is continually becoming of more importance, and often accounts for thirty per cent of the milling cost, it is very necessary that a …

A Study Of The Iodine Content Of Missouri Vegetables And Soils, Charles Jackson Potter

Masters Theses

"Investigations have shown that the iodine content of vegetables, water, and soils has a direct relationship to the goiter incidence of a given region. A few countries, notably New Zealand and Switzerland have made a rather complete survey. In the United States, South Carolina has made the most progress in this direction.

At the present time there are no available records of vegetable and soil analysis for iodine in Missouri. Hunze determined the amount of iodine in waters in Missouri. The connection of his results with the author's results will be seen later.

The present investigation was carried out at …

A Study Of The Electrolytic Determination Of Lead, Philip Hall Delano

Masters Theses

"The electrolytic determination of lead is one of the most used methods, particularly for control work and where large numbers of analyses have to be run each day. The method is adopted because of its simplicity and because of the small amount of the chemist's time required. It is particularly suited for the determination of small amounts of lead. However, it has been noted that deviations from certain conditions produce results which vary widely from the actual amount of lead present, though results which check with each other may be obtained. Certain elements interfere with the determination and must be …
