Planning And Financing County Bridge Programs, Jean E. Hittle, D. G. Shurig

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

This manual has been developed to review several different areas of information related to county bridge improvement programs, including (1) the authority and jurisdiction over county bridges (Section II), (2) the various sources of funds for construction and repair of county bridges (Section III) , and (3) the fiscal process of making appropriations and expenditures for construction and repair of bridges (Section VI). These topics are presented in terms of the current Indiana statutes, and for this reason should be of considerable assistance to county road officials as a guide to the official duties of their office.

Some Effects Of Fabrication Practices On The Strength Characteristics Of Reinforced Concrete Culvert Pipe, Robert C. Deen, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Underground conduits have been used for hundreds of years for drainage and water supply purposes. With the advent of railway and auto-mobile transportation, the use of underground conduits for drainage purposes beneath the roadways increased greatly. It soon became apparent that there was a definite need for knowledge concerning the manufacture, installation, and field behavior of pipe culverts. Accordingly, in the first half of the century, much attention and research has been directed toward the development and establishment of acceptable techniques and specifications fot the manufacture and installation of pipe culverts. This work has been accomplished by many individuals and …

Concrete, Bridge Decks: Deterioration, Coatings And Repairs, James H. Havens, William B. Drake

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This report is not wholly a culmination of a planned or programmed research project. It is a historical account of damage sustained by both new and old concrete bridge-decks -- through freeze-thaw, salt action, etc, -- and of some expedient repairs which have been effected. The problem of durability in concrete bridge-decks has become increasingly critical during the past ten years or so and is now a major concern to highway engineers throughout the northern tier of states. While there is not yet a concerted agreement in regard to the cause of the trouble, relief is being sought through improved …

Udder Preparation For Milking, W G. Robinson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

REGULAR routine methods of preparing the udder for milking hare long been recognised as essential for good "let down" of milk.

The biggest problem so far has been to combat the spread of disease, in particular mastitis from udder to udder by the milker's hands or the udder washing cloths.

An Approach To Correlate Pulsed Radar And Photographic Data, Nasir Ahmed

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory Lunar Program, which is supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has two major projects underway. These are Ranger and Surveyor. The Ranger Project is in the flight stage whereas Surveyor is still in hardware development. The equipment of Ranger 3, 4, and 5 spacecrafts includes a radar altimeter to obtain radar reflection data, and a vidicon camera to obtain close-up pictures of the moon's surface. The data obtained in these flights will thus be available for analysis and comparison using the techniques outlined in this thesis.

The Chemical Oxidation Of Alkyl Benzene Sulfonates With Potassium Permanganate., Rameshchandra M. Patel

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to study the chemical oxidation of alkyl benzene sulfonates with potassium permanganate. ABS concentrations of 3, 5 and 10 mg/1, and potassium permanganate dosages of 0.5, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0 and 80.0 mg/1 were used. The study was made in deionized water at room temperature and a pH value of 8.5. A 5-hour detention period was provided. The ABS concentration, potassium permanganate concentration, foam volume and foam stability were the main parameters employed.

It was found that potassium permanganate significantly reduced the ABS concentration and foam volume. The rate of the oxidation …

Well Designed Cattle Yards, W J O Wilkie

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

GOOD yards are those in which cattle can be handled quietly, safely and efficiently.

The manner of handling is as important as the design of the yards.

Too much dog or whip can make cattle difficult, in even the best of yards.

A Study Of The Hydraulics Of Drop-Inlet-Type Culvert Models, Ronald D. Hughes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In certain unique situations, a drop-inlet-type of culvert might be employed to a greater advantage than the standard box- or pipe-type culvert. A drop-inlet consists merely of a vertical drop-section at the upstream end of the culvert. The drop section is connected to the main barrel of the culvert by means of an elbow or merely a rightangle intersection. The entrance to the drop-section must collect and funnel the channel water into the drop section. Thus, intercepting dams and sidewalls may be needed to form the entrance. Figure 1 illustrates, in a general way, some of the options which may …

Third Annual Performance Survey Of Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culverts, Ronald D. Hughes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In April, 1957, under Circular Memorandum 22-40, the Bureau of Public Roads issued a rational criterion covering beddings of reinforced concrete pipe, construction methods, and simplified methods for determining the allowable heights of fill over pipe having given D-load strengths. The states were urged to adopt the criterion; and, accordingly, the Kentucky Department of Highways issued Amendments No. 15 and 16 (Feb, 28, 1958) to its 1956 edition of Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and Standard Drawings Nos. 11.22 and 11.23. These amendments and standard drawings were patterned after the criterion of the Bureau of Public Roads but …

A Study Of The Relationships Between The Structure And The Consolidation And Swell Characteristics., Victor Foute Spruill

Masters Theses

"This paper reports the experimental results of an investigation of the relationships between the consolidation and swell characteristics of a cohesive soil and the structure of the soil. Consolidation and swell tests were run on samples prepared at their liquid limits in order to permit the effects of structure to show up in the results. The series of samples tested consisted of Putnam Clay Soil with (1) 2% sodium carbonate added, (2) no admixture, (3) 1% calcium hydroxide, and (4) 4% calcium hydroxide. Determinations were made of the per cent consolidation and per cent swell, decrease and increase in height …

The Effect Of Haunched Members On Vierendeel Trusses, Rashmikant D. Parikh

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this study was to analyze a Vierendeel Truss and determine the effect of haunches on moments. Loads were applied at the interior panel points in sequence. The classic slope-deflection method with coefficients taken from a table of frame constants (8) was used for the analysis.

In this investigation, one effect of haunches was determined to be the distribution of moments more evenly throughout the structure. Also, they insure rigidity of the joints and increase architectural flexibility"--Abstract, page ii.

Methods For The Determination Of The Thermal Conductivity Of Solids., A. M. Sivadasan

Masters Theses

"The thermal conductivity of materials is of considerable practical and theoretical interest. Numerous publications on this subject have been presented with widely varying approaches and applications being made. Perhaps for no other thermal property are the published results so widely divergent and subject to such great uncertainty, particularly at high temperatures. This is partly due to unsolved difficulties in measurement, but perhaps to an even greater extent to the fact that the thermal conductivity of a material depends on its physical characteristics as well as some environmental factors such as humidity and temperature. In the case of metals or alloys, …

A Study Of The Solubility Of Gold In Aluminum And The Extent Of The Al₂Au Phase., Kuldip Singh Chopra

Masters Theses

"The lattice constant of pure aluminum (99.998%) at 25° C 0 was determined to be 4.04953 A and the limit of solubility of gold in aluminum at 58O° c was found to be about o.4 weight percent gold. The minimum of the lattice constant was observed at O.75 weight percent gold. No change in the lattice constant with time was found.

The Al₂Au phase has a range from 77.66 to 78.94 weight percent gold with the theoretical composition of Al₂Au nearly in the middle of the phase. The thermal coefficient of expansion, the density and the …

A Study Of The Relative Electric Resistance Of Commercial Steels And Pure Iron, William Eugene Wistehuff

Masters Theses

"The change in relative electric resistance of five commercial steels, Armco Ingot Iron and Pure Iron were studied over the temperature range of 800°C to 1100°C in an attempt to correlate the phenomena of hot or red shortness with a change in the Electric resistance .

The results from the above resistance measurements were compared with mechanical tests of the same steels to show that at the point at which the iron sulfide liquid forms there is a definite change in the slope of the electric resistance vs temperature curve.

Also studied was a discontinuity in the electric resistance vs …
