Structural Stability Research Council: Proceedings 1976, Structural Stability Research Council

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

One of the purposes of the Council is to maintain a forum where problems related to the design and behavior of columns and other compression elements in metal structures can be presented for evaluation and discussion. The Annual Technical Session provides an opportunity to carry out this function. The 1976 Annual Technical Session was held on March 2 and 3 at the SheratonBiltmore Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Fifty-five persons attended the session and nineteen papers were delivered. A panel discussion on "New Ideas on Stability of Multistory Buildings" was held in the evening of March 2, 1976. the panelists were …

Influence Of Turbidity On The Stratification Development Of A Deep Water Reservoir., David Allen Prouty

Masters Theses

"The influence of turbidity on the diurnal temperature distribution and thermocline development in a deep water impoundment which is exposed to heating and cooling loads by convection, evaporation, and radiation is examined analytically. The diurnal behavior of the solar load, directional and spectral, is used with an isotropic multiple scattering model to simulate the attenuation of solar flux by turbid water. The diurnal behavior of the ambient temperature, humidity and wind speed were mathematically modeled to simulate the local (Phelps Co.) spring time of the year. The combined conduction and radiation energy transfer through the water was treated as a …

Computer Analysis Of 3-Phase Induction Motor Operation On Rural Open-Delta Distribution Systems, Stephen C. Seematter, Earl F. Richards

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Open-delta/open-delta and open-wye/open-delta transformer banks are often used as an economic means of supplying simultaneous single-phase and 3-phase loads in rural areas. If the 3-phase load is an induction motor, the inherent voltage unbalance causes increased losses and uneven heating that may lead to motor failure. Often these motors are submersible or deep well pump motors located in remote unattended areas or air conditioning motors which may not have sufficient over-design to handle the voltage unbalance. The theory analyzing the open-delta distribution system has existed for many years, however, because of the tedious and almost infinite differences in distribution topology, …

Kalman Filter Equalization For Qpsk Communications, T. S. Lee, David R. Cunningham

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The discrete complex Kalman filter is considered as an equalizer for quadrature phase-shift keyed (QPSK) systems in the presence of additive noise and InterSymbol interference (ISI). When the channel is unknown, an adaptive Kalman equalizer is used in which the channel complex tap gains are estimated by decision feedback.

Axial Xenon Redistribution And Power Shaping In Large Pressurized Water Reactors, Henrique F. V. A. Machado Jorge

Nuclear Engineering ETDs

The reactor described herein is aimed at developing an accurate physical model for axial power shaping studies in pressurized water reactors of the current generation. The model is also intended for numerical studies on: (1) reactor load-follow capability throughout a fuel loading lifetime; and (2) burnup dependence of the reactor stability against axial xenon oscillations. Accordingly, a proper account of the concerned physical phenomenology was sought. The results reported herein solely concern methods development and assessment.

A one-dimensional (axial) core geometrical model, coupled with

fuel temperature-and moderator coolant thermal-hydraulics-feedback was assembled. Algorithms for computing the feedback effects were developed and …

Evaluation Of Paint-Stripe Beads, Jerry G. Pigman, Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The objectives of this phase of the overall "Roadway Delineation" study were to evaluate the luminosity and durability of several types of glass beads and one type of plastic bead used with paint stripes and to determine their effectiveness during rainy, nighttime conditions. Eleven types of beads were evaluated. They were applied at rates approximating 4, 5, and 6 pounds per gallon (479, 599, and 719 kg/m3). Photometer and visual observations extended to about 9 months after application of test stripes.

Pedestrian Accidents In Kentucky, Charles V. Zegeer, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Pedestrian accident data in Kentucky were analyzed for 1972 and 1973 on a rural, urban, and statewide basis. Results showed that about 1500 pedestrian accidents occur in Kentucky each year. About 30 percent of the pedestrian accidents in rural areas and four percent in urban areas are fatal. Although about 78 percent of Kentucky's pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas, over 62 percent of the pedestrian fatalities occur in rural areas. Specific characteristics of pedestrian accidents were identified and related to human, environmental, and time factors. Highway and street improvements and safety measures generally considered to be effective in minimizing …

Adsorption On Activated Flyash, John William Kubarewicz

Theses

An experimental study was undertaken to compare the adsorptive characteristics of activated carbon, flyash, and activated flyash. Due to the contradictory evidence available in the literature, emphasis was placed on the effect of acid activation on the physical properties of the adsorbent. The experiment consisted of two parts; batch isotherm studies, and continuous column operations. An artificial sewage composed of a mixture of deionized water and beef broth was used as the adsorbate. This solution was prepared daily and exerted a COD of 225 ± 30 mg/l. Flyash activation was found to increase the degree of adsorption indirectly rather than …

The Energy Conservation Implications Of Master Metering Of Electric Service In Apartments, Gordon Gross

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

A study has been made of the difference in electricity usage between residents of "Electricity included" apartments and those tenants who pay individual "light bills." The factors which influence owners' and builders' choices of metering service are discussed in detail.

Data taken from over 100 apartment buildings or complexes in 10 major U.S. metropolitan areas and from over 50 major electric power companies are used as the basis for the reported results. Contractors estimates of the costs to convert building service from master to individual meter and some bases for these costs are presented.

The energy conservation potential which might …
