Study Of The Effect Of Blended Coarse Aggregate On Air Entrained Concrete, S. T. Collier, L. E. Gregg

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This research with combined coarse aggregates in cement concrete was initiated at the request of the Director of Design as a direct result of the condition study made by the Division of Design in 1945. In the report on this study it was shown that on the basis of averages pertaining to 80 projects with crushed limestone totalling about 395 miles in length, and 70 projects with Ohio River Gravel totalling approximately 410 miles in length, the service record for pavements with the river gravel was far inferior to that of pavements containing limestone coarse aggregate.

Specifically, the summary of …

The Effect Of Temperature On Mine Rocks, James Wilson Snider

Masters Theses

"The problem of this investigation involves the determination of the coefficients of thermal expansion of mine rocks, and the relationship of porosity, permeability, and consecutive temperature changes to the permanent elongation of those rocks. One of the major problems in mining today is that of the analysis of the action of exposed mine rock under changes of temperature. The immediate cause of a fall of ground in a mining excavation is due to the fact that some part of the mass that falls has been subjected to a stress beyond the strength of the rock. The question arises as to …

Some Preliminary Work On Metaphosphates In Ceramics, John Frederick Burst

Masters Theses

"For a good many years the accepted method of cementing ceramic joints was with a mixture of fire clay grog and a plastic clay binder. This did not prove too satisfactory for several reasons. Usually when enough plastic clay was added to give good workability the vitrification was lowered to such an extent that either excessive shrinkage or excessive bloating occurred, depending upon the extent to which the vitrification point was exceeded...In order to obtain a cement with high strength throughout a long firing range the manufacturers have turned to the addition of various organic binders and inorganic fluxes. Most …

An Investigation Of Various Properties Of The 60co-40cr Alloy, Roger David Moeller

Masters Theses

"The binary alloys of Co-Cr have had a few practical applications in our modern economy due to their high cost. The only extensive field of application has been developed in recent years in the manufacture of high temperature alloys for such equipment as gas turbines, jet engines, and turbo-superchargers. The use of these materials has been limited, due to their high cost, to small parts such as rotor blades in gas turbines. To reduce cost and to add desirable or eliminate undesirable properties, the binary alloys have, from the beginning, been modified with varying amounts of other metals. The modified …

Effect Of Chromium, Molybdenum, Tungsten, And Vanadium Additions On The Physical Properties Of 1.4 Percent Titanium-Copper, Edward Palmer Patterson

Masters Theses

"Titanium, an element reported to be ninth most abundant of the elements in the earth's crust, has received very little experimental attention as an alloying element in non-ferrous metallurgy. In copper, titanium produces an age-hardening effect, which makes it of great value to copper manufacturers of fabricated products. Yet, but a handfull of men have investigated the copper-titanium equilibrium diagram, and the titanium rich portion of the diagram still remains a mystery. No work has been done on ternary alloys of copper-titanium to this date, as far as recorded information is concerned, and it is hoped that the present work …

Thermal Reduction Of Beryllium Chloride With Metallic Magnesium, Mailand R. Strunk

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this research was to investigate the thermal reduction of beryllium chloride by metallic magnesium. Beryllium is a remarkable element, being characterized by its hardness, lightness and durability. Although the art of metallurgy has developed to a point at which most metals can be produced at a low cost, there are a few metals, of which beryllium is an outstanding example, which can only be obtained at high prices and in small amounts because of the difficulties of recovering the metals as such from their compounds which occur in nature. Small amounts of pure beryllium can be obtained, …

Ceramic Possibilities Of Some Missouri Clays And Shales, Leonard Nathanael Larson

Masters Theses

"Although many of the shales and clays of Missouri have in the past been, or are presently being used for the manufacture of heavy clay products such as face brick, common brick, sewer pipe, and tile, there is in these post-war years a significant shortage of these products within the state and country. Especially in the northwestern part of Missouri is there a distinct shortage, as only one structural clay plant is known to be operating in that area. The St. Louis and Southeastern Missouri districts are better prepared to meet construction demands, with several structural clay plants operating at …

A Comparison Of The Use Of Polaroid And Colored Filters In The Multiplex Aeroprojector, Robert Greig Livingston

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is the drawing of a comparison between the use of the colored filters, which are normally employed in the multiplex aeroprojector by various mapping agencies throughout the country, and the use therein of Polaroid filters. The filters in the aeroprojector serve to break the projection of a stereoscopic pair of photographs into two impressions which are viewed separately by each eye of the observer, thus providing the main requirement for the observance of a three-dimensional effect. this stereoscopic effect is utilized in the multiplex plotting machine for the delineation of contours...In order to form a …

Experiments With Pressure Methods Of Air Content Determinations For Cement Concrete, L. E. Gregg

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In our report entitled "A Summary of Experiments With Air Entrainment in Cement Concrete" released last September, we recommended among other things that "The gravimetric method (A.S.T.M. Designation: C138-44) be used only as a temperary expedient for determining air contents until the pressure method or some method not dependent upon physical properties of aggregates and not influenced by other variables can be firmly established" (see item 3, page 66 of that report). At that time we were thinking of the pressure apparatus demonstrated by representatives of the Portland Cement Association during construction of the Lexington-Nicholasville Road (Project F 524 (1)-1; …

The Effects Of Low Concentrations Of Sulphur Dioxide On Oxidized Manganese Ores At Elevated Temperatures, William Henry Magill

Masters Theses

"Although there are large quantities of manganese ore in the United States, most of it is low-grade and cannot be used for the production of ferromanganese. Much government and private research has been done to concentrate the domestic low-grade ores but many problems have been encountered. A large number of treatments have been found necessary for ores from various sections of the country. Low-grade ores have been sulfated with sulfur dioxide in the gaseous state at elevated temperatures and the soluble manganous sulfate extracted with water. This gave a solution of manganous sulfate that may be used for the recovery …

Improved Techniques For Washing Iron Blue Suspensions : Ii. The Preparation Of O, O'-Dichlorobenzidine From O-Chloronitrobenzene., Marvin L. Gernert

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

I. IMPROVED TECHNIQUES FOR WASHING IRON BLUE SUSPENSIONS

The investigation of several procedures for the speeding of the washing of iron blue suspensions to remove electrolytes is reported. The use of several techniques to coagulate blue particles in the colloidal range to cause more rapid settling was found to be of little value. A conventional Oliver filter and centrifugal clarifier were found to be unsatisfactory for clearing iron blue suspensions. Considerable advantage in washing by settling and decantation was obtained with the settling of the blue suspensions in relatively shallow vessels. A continuous washing procedure was developed whereby the blue …

Ethylcellulose Lacquer Coatings For Polystyrene Plastics., Stuart V. Heil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An ethylcellulose lacquer system for both decorative and protective purposes was developed for use on polystyrene plastics. It was found that a one-coat lacquer containing only alcohol solvents produced the most satisfactory finish. Formulations were based on experimental work, conducted to determine the effect of the various lacquer components on the plastic. The results of a study of formulations on a two-coat system are presented.
