Masters Theses

"This paper is the report of a feasibility study of the combined use of hydrated lime and portland cement to stabilize the troublesome Putnam soil of northern Missouri. In its natural state, this soil is highly plastic, possesses great shrinkage and swell characteristics when the moisture content is changed and is classified as an A-7-5 soil by the A. A. S. H. O. Standards for the Classification of Highway Subgrade Materials.

During the course of this investigation, the following tests were performed: (1) Moisture-Density Relationships for soil with admixtures; (2) Triaxial Compression Test; (3) Unconfined Compression Tests; (4) Freeze-Thaw Tests; …

A Study Of The Reaction Of Hydrated Lime With Pure Clay (Kaolin) In Clay Stabilization, Chiyyarath Velayudhan Girijavallabhan

Masters Theses

"The work presented is the investigation of the reaction of pure Kaolinite clay with hydrated lime in clay stabilization. Pure Kaolin clay, ranging from one micron to five microns in size, was mixed with calcium hydroxide in the form of a paste. These mixtures were permitted to react for varying periods of time. An attempt was made to separate the lime from clay lime mixture by density separation using a mixed solution of carbon tetrachloride and tetrabromoethane. Since the above method failed because of the formation of a yellow gelatinous suspension, the lime was removed by washing the clay lime …

Factors That Influenced Homesteading And Land Abandonment In San Juan County, Utah, Melvin J. Frost

Theses and Dissertations

Homesteading in San Juan County, Utah is for the most part, located on Sage Plain at elevations between 6,000 to 7,200 feet. Sage Plain is an undulating surface deeply dissected with canyons. The soil is relatively shallow and the predominant vegetation is pinyon, juniper, sage brush and blue-stem grass.

The 52 year mean precipitation is 15.47 inches. Since the beginning of weather records there has been a noticeable decrease in the annual precipitation. There is generally sufficient moisture to mature winter wheat. Pinto beans are also grown in the more favorable locations.

Principle factors that have influenced homesteading and land …

The Separation Of Selected Radioactive Fission Products By Electrodialysis, Jerry David Vie

Masters Theses

"The recent advent of nuclear energy has opened an era of almost unlimited power and countless problems. A problem of extreme importance is the recovery of unburned nuclear fuel and the claiming of transmutation products, such as Pu²³⁹ and U²³³, from the irradiated fuel elements. The chemical processing must also separate the fission products from the fissionable material if the fuel is to be used again.

At present, the irradiated fuel elements are stored for 90 to 120 days to allow the intense short half-life activity to decay. After "cooling down", the nuclear fuels are separated from …

A Method Of Fuel Testing In A Cfr Engine, George R. Baumgartner

Masters Theses

"At the present time, only a very small fraction of motor fuels produced for domestic use in the United States contain any alcohol in their blends. Soma foreign markets, notably the Philippine Islands and South American Countries use high proportions of alcohol in their motor fuel blends. Special purpose fuels in the United States which have alcohol blended with other compounds, have been used for engines from which maximum horsepower output is imperative. An example of this type of motor fuel blend might be found in the competitive motor sports involving motorcycles, stock automotive equipment, and special racing equipment.

Deflections Of Two-Way Slabs, Gerald C. Godzwon

Masters Theses

"A reinforced concrete member is by no means a truly elastic member, hence all ordinary deflection calculations relating to it, whichever method, are approximate. By the use of model study actual reinforced concrete slab models, of different end conditions, were built and tested for deflections under uniform loadings. Theoretical and actual deflection of reinforced concrete slabs are compared. The results of these tests indicate that the theoretical deflection equations may be 60 to 80 percent in error when applied to reinforced concrete slabs"--Abstract, page 2.

The Status Of Gas-Lubricated Bearings, Bhaskar Dattatraya Shiwalkar

Masters Theses

"The idea of gas-lubricated bearings was suggested as far back as 1854 by Hirn, but it is only very recently that they have aroused a great amount of interest. The interest is centered on the advantages of gas-bearings for the following major applications:

1. High temperature lubrication where ordinary liquid or grease lubrication fails.
2. Bearings operating in radio-active atmospheres where conventional lubrication may break down.
3. Applications sensitive to contamination where fouling from lubricating oil becomes serious.
4. Low-friction devices--an especially important advantage because of the trend to high speed machinery.
5. Applications where positional accuracies down to micro-inches are required.

As a result …

Analysis And Simulation Of A Cross-Correlation Communication System, Dennis Jay Gooding

Masters Theses

"Statement of the problem. The purpose of this study was (1) to calculate the probability of error as a function of receiver input signal-to-noise ratio for a typical communication system employing cross-correlation detection; (2) to design and construct an experimental model of such a communication system for the purposes of demonstrating the operation of the system and verifying the theoretical calculations"--Introduction, page 1.

A Study Of The Inlet Characteristics And Entrance Losses Of Pipe Culvert With A Flush Mounted, Sharp Edged Inlet, Luke Lea Callaway Jr.

Masters Theses

"Of all hydraulic structures, culverts are by far the most numerous. Lack of understanding of the functioning of culverts has resulted in many of them being implaced improperly and as a result, they function with less efficiency and at reduced capacity. Much has been written regarding the flow of water in open channels, culverts included, but little has been done regarding inlet conditions. It is necessary in the design of culverts, as with any other structure, that conditions which govern the operation of the structure be established. This paper is a study of the inlet conditions of a circular cross …

Water Resources Development -- An Analysis Of Economic Justification Practices Of The Corps Of Engineers, Kerwood W. Barrand

Masters Theses

"Presented herein is a brief analysis of the economic justification practices of the Corps of Engineers as commonly implemented in proposals concerning water resources projects. Where applicable, recommended methods are compared to similar methods advocated for, and accepted by, private engineering firms in similar situations.

The major problem exists in the lack of a profit motive in programs undertaken with the use of public funds. However, a profit can be said to have been realized in public works programs if the total benefits of the programs to all the people exceed the costs of these programs and, further, if the …

Some Physical, Chemical, And Thermohydrodynamic Parameters Of Explosive Ammonium Nitrate-Fuel Oil Mixtures, Joseph J. Yancik

Doctoral Dissertations

"The explosive properties of ammonium nitrate-fuel blasting agents were investigated by measuring their detonation velocity and sensitivity. Detonation velocity was measured by a pin oscillograph method with a modified pin technique. Five types of tests were used to evaluate the explosive sensitivity of AN-fuel mixtures under varied environmental conditions. These tests measured the confined and unconfined critical diameter, minimum primer for a three inch diameter iron pipe confined charge, for an unconfined charge at the critical diameter, and minimum primacord primer under special conditions.

Properties of ammonium nitrate-fuel blasting agents were evaluated by considering the effects which each component of …

Shortly before World War II, Army Technical Services had been instructed to set up intelligence sections in the offices of their chiefs. The technical services were bureaus which supplied weapons, equipment, and services to …

Engineer Intelligence Guide 31, Production Of Cross-Country Movement Studies, December 1959, Military Geology Branch, Us Geographical Survey And The Soil Conservation Service, Us Department Of Agriculture, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

In 1958, the Army Corps of Engineers was responsible for the intelligence related to the surface of the earth, excluding the oceans and seas. Those responsibilities were discharged by subordinate organizations and contractors under the directions of the Intelligence and Mapping division. Engineer Intelligence Guides (EIGS) were prepared “to provide orientation, direction, and instruction in the field of Engineer intelligence.”

This guide was prepared to give instructions for preparing specialized maps containing information showing impediments to cross-country movement. Appendix I, an example of a CCM map, was created by adding an overlay on a sheet from the US Army Map …
