A Study Of The Polishing Characteristics Of Limestone And Sandstone Aggregates In Regard To Pavement Slipperiness, William J. Stutzenberger, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The coefficient of friction on dry highway surfaces regardless of stone composition and texture has in most cases been at least 0.6 or above. However, some of these same surfaces when lubricated by a small amount of water have given test results dangerously lower. Some interesting theoretical aspects of this situation are presented here along with results from a laboratory study of the fundamental factors affecting tractive friction.

A machine is described for measuring the coefficient of friction between the plane surfaces of four-inch diameter stone specimens and a rubber annulus of slightly smaller diameter. Measurements were made both wet …

Location And Economic Study For Interstate Route Tallahassee, Wilbur Smith And Associates

City and Regional Planning -- Florida

The basic purpose of the study was to determine the best location for the construction of an East-West section of the interstate highway. It was prescribed that the work would consist of two basic parts. One had to do with the analysis of travel data, both present and projected, in the determination of the most feasible location of a route based on conventional traffic and highway development factors. The other phase of the work was to deal with economic considerations, especially the economic impact of the proposed routes on businesses located on existing roads and on the central business district …

The East Helena Plant Of The American Smelting And Refining Company, Raymond W. White

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The East Helena plant of the American Smelting and Refining Company is a custom lead smelter. The chief product of the smelter is lead bullion, although by-products such as matte, speiss, cadmium-rich fumes, and zinc-rich slag are also produced. While the smelter is old, many of the methods used are new, some of which have been developed at the plant.

A Master Highway Transportation Plan For Tampa Metropolitan Area, Hillsborough County, Florida, Wilbur Smith And Associates

City and Regional Planning -- Florida

Fully recognizing the need for a comprehensive study of an integrated expressway and arterial highway system for the Tampa Metropolitan area, the State Road Department of Florida, jointly with the County of Hillsborough and the City of Tampa, engaged Wilbur Smith and Associates to develop a Master Highway Transportation Plan for the Tampa Area. The geographic limits of the study area are defined as the city limits of Tampa on the north, Tampa Bay on the west, Hillsborough Bay on the south, and U. S. Route 301 on the east. The development of basic planning data and necessary field studies …

An Investigation Of Compressive Testing Of Concrete, Gilbert R. Williamson

Civil Engineering ETDs

The strength of most materials is affected by the rate of application of the load and concrete is no exception. However, the effect of a varying rate of loading on the compressive strength of concrete has not been too fully investigated. This effect is one of the problems covered in this paper. The first investigation along these lines was done in 1917 by Duff Abrams of the Structural Materials Research Laboratory, Lewis Institute, Chicago. In 1936, Paul G. Jones and F. E. Richart, working at the University of Illinois Engineering Experiment Station, reported the result of their experiments of the …

Us Army Ordnance Technical Intelligence Agency, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

Historical Data Cards were used to record the organizational history of units within the Army. This card was provided to Robert Bolin by the US Army Institute of Heraldry in 1985.

The Ordnance Technical Intelligence Agency (OTIA) was special-purpose military unit assigned to the Chief of Ordnance. The Chief of Ordnance was the general in charge of the Ordnance Corps. The OTIA was organized to perform and coordinate intelligence functions of the US Army Ordnance Corps.

The OTIA was discontinued in 1962 when most of the Army Technical Services were reorganized out of existence. The functions, personnel, records, and equipment …

Ten Rural Highway Base Stabilization Projects, James H. Havens, William B. Drake

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

During the last week o£ September, 1956, the Division of Rural Highways requested assistance from the Research Division in conducting a series of ten experimental base stabilization projects which were to be geared more-or-less to a practical rural roads development program in which existing soils and local granular materials might be most advantageously treated and stabilized to provide fairly low cost base courses and surfaces, adequate for light rural traffic. The idea of actually constructing a base and bituminous surface for this type of road would represent a refinement over the traditional traffic-bound base type of construction which usually serves …

Frictional Behavior Of Flat Sliding Surfaces, Elmer J. Weiter

Bachelors’ Theses

The objectives of this thesis are four in number. The first is to advance the basic understanding of the frictional behavior of materials in flat surface sliding, especially in the breakaway region where the coefficient of static friction is predominant. The second is to present an apparatus incorporating the use of flat contact surfaces, to provide accurate determination of the coefficient of static friction and some of the kinetic characteristics. The third is to establish a procedure of testing such that the static frictions is accurately analyzed to include variations with time and wear. The fourth objective is to establish …

An Investigation Of High-Strength, Deformed Steel Bars For Concrete Reinforcement, Sidney A. Guralnick, George Winter

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION High strength steel as reinforcement for concrete has received some serious attention by researchers and by the construction industries as long ago as the early 1900' s. Recent developments abroad, notably in Sweden, Germany and Austria, have caused renewed interest in the use of this material in concrete structures. The term "high-strength" is somewhat ambiguous since it usually has been employed to describe the type of steel used in cables and strands for prestressed concrete or suspension bridge structures. Such steels commonly have proof stresses of the order of 200,000 psi. However, in the case of ordinary reinforced concrete …

The Status Of Applied Electricity In Selected Colleges And Secondary Schools In Kansas, Karl E. Cunningham

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This study was developed on the premise that applied electricity was a current and future need of such dimensions that it demanded more attention by educators. An attempt was made to determine the present status of teaching applied electricity in selected colleges and secondary schools in Kansas with a view to developing and/or improving programs in the area. Objective data were obtained by surveys of secondary school administrators, industrial arts supervisors, and instructors who taught applied electricity as a separate course or as a unit in a composite general shop. Additional information and statistics were derived from books, periodicals, published …
