Soil-Cement Backfill For Nuclear Power Plant Foundations, E. Saveri, G. P. Vaccaro, G. Varosio

International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering

Soil-cement backfills have been analyzed, designed and tested for the Alto Lazio Nuclear Power Plant in Italy. Extensive analyses were performed to evaluate the stability of and stresses in soil-cement foundation backfills. Soil-structure interaction was also analyzed. The minimum required cement content for foundation and general backfills was established and verified by means of laboratory and field tests. Foundation backfills were designed for two major buildings of the plant.


Subsidence Affects Due To Gypsum Solution In Syracuse, New York, G. W. Lee, S. P. Clemence, S. K. Bhatia, S. Anagnost May 1984

Subsidence Affects Due To Gypsum Solution In Syracuse, New York, G. W. Lee, S. P. Clemence, S. K. Bhatia, S. Anagnost

International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering

Two apartment buildings owned by Syracuse University in the Slocum Heights area underwent extensive differential settlement manifested by foundation cracks. Examination of rock exposures in the nearby area revealed the presence of gypsum beds. Onsite boring and investigation revealed that regrading and installation of french drains and storm sewers influenced the groundwater regime resulting in solutioning of the gypsum and subsequent collapse of underground cavities. Remedial measures included alteration of drainage system and underpinning of apartment structures.

The Optimal Trajectory Modelling Of Robot Manipulators, Mary Claire Miller, Chung You Ho, Arlan R. Dekock May 1984

The Optimal Trajectory Modelling Of Robot Manipulators, Mary Claire Miller, Chung You Ho, Arlan R. Dekock

Computer Science Technical Reports

Greater robot capability can be achieved through the use of robot manipulator control systems. Crucial to the success of these control systems is the optimal trajectory modelling of the path traced by the end- effector. To create this optimal path the utilization of B-Spline curve functions will be investigated, and compared to Cubic Spline curve functions.


An Experimental Study Of The Effects Of Modularity On Resource Consumption In Software Development, Alan D. Christiansen, Arlan R. Dekock, John Bruce Prater May 1984

An Experimental Study Of The Effects Of Modularity On Resource Consumption In Software Development, Alan D. Christiansen, Arlan R. Dekock, John Bruce Prater

Computer Science Technical Reports

Many authors have encouraged the use of modular programming techniques in software development. In fact, there is almost total agreement within industrial and academic circles that modularity is a desirable feature of any software package. Unfortunately, the desirability of modular design is almost always voiced without support from experimental evidence.

This paper consists of an experiment comparing the resource consumption of programmers based on the modularity practices employed during the design and programming phases of software development. The experiment tests the effectiveness of modularity in reducing psychological complexity of software.

The results of the research show that in some cases …

Homogeneous Nucleation Rate For Water, Donald E. Hagen, James L. Kassner Apr 1984

Homogeneous Nucleation Rate For Water, Donald E. Hagen, James L. Kassner

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Homogeneous nucleation rate data for water extending over an exceptionally large domain of rate (J), supersaturation ratio (S), and temperature (T) was recently published. Because it spans a large J-S-T surface, this data constitutes a good test of nucleation theory. Here classical nucleation theory is used to analyze this data. By adjusting only the sticking coefficient, we are able to obtain a good fit between theory and experiment. It was necessary to include an increase in the water molecular density associated with the finite water compressibility.


Laser-Induced Surface Diffusion, Cheng-Hsiao Wu, Jonathan I. Gittleman Apr 1984

Laser-Induced Surface Diffusion, Cheng-Hsiao Wu, Jonathan I. Gittleman

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A Brownian motion model for laser-induced surface diffusion is proposed to account for the kinetics of surface transport of the evaporated molecules from a thin discontinuous film under a focused laser beam. The model is solved exactly where the evaporation rate of the molecules is assumed to be proportional to the temperature rise above the ambient of the absorber layer. The surface diffusion constant and molecular velocity are obtained by comparing the results of calculations with transmission electron micrographs of recorded pits in Te trilayer opticial discs. These values are in good agreement with Einstein's relation.

Magnetic Phase Diagram And Spin Glass Behavior Of Fe₁₋ₓmnₓcl₂·2h₂O, Gary C. Defotis, Christoph Pohl, Spencer A. Pugh, Ekkehard Sinn Mar 1984

Magnetic Phase Diagram And Spin Glass Behavior Of Fe₁₋ₓmnₓcl₂·2h₂O, Gary C. Defotis, Christoph Pohl, Spencer A. Pugh, Ekkehard Sinn

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The magnetic phase diagram of Fe1-xMnxCl2·2H2O has been determined. A tetracritical point appears to be present at x ≊ 0.74 and T≊2.8 K. The upper paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic phase boundaries exhibit an unusually rapid descent, and the mixed ordered region below the tetracritical point is quite small. Moreover, regions exhibiting spin glass character also occur in the diagram. The unusually complex behavior is presumably due to the unique constitution of this system: A mixture of two antiferromagnets with different periodicities, competing orthogonal spin anisotropics, competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic near neighbor intrachain exchange interactions, and …


Preparation And Characterization Of Composite Hollow Fiber Reverse Osmosis Membranes By Plasma Polymerization. 2. Reproducibility Of The Plasma Polymerization Process And Durability Of The Resulting Coated Membrane, Y. Matsuzawa, H. Yasuda Mar 1984

Preparation And Characterization Of Composite Hollow Fiber Reverse Osmosis Membranes By Plasma Polymerization. 2. Reproducibility Of The Plasma Polymerization Process And Durability Of The Resulting Coated Membrane, Y. Matsuzawa, H. Yasuda

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The reproducibility of the plasma polymerization process was examined in a semicontinuous coating of hollow fibers, 6 fibers in lengths of approximately 12-15 m, by evaluating the performance of reverse osmosis membranes. The uniformity of the coating along the length of hollow fibers, as well as the reproducibility of the process, was found to be satisfactory when electrodes were conditioned in the actual conditions of plasma polymerization to be employed and plasma polymerization conditions were carefully controlled. The durability of the coated hollow fibers was then investigated in the following test media: hot water, low pH, high pH, and 0.1% …

Elastic Differential Cross Sections For Small-Angle Scattering Of 25-, 40-, And 60-Kev Protons By Atomic Hydrogen, Eduard P. Rille, Jerry Peacher, E. Redd, Thomas J. Kvale, Denver G. Seely, D. M. Blankenship, Ronald E. Olson, John T. Park Feb 1984

Elastic Differential Cross Sections For Small-Angle Scattering Of 25-, 40-, And 60-Kev Protons By Atomic Hydrogen, Eduard P. Rille, Jerry Peacher, E. Redd, Thomas J. Kvale, Denver G. Seely, D. M. Blankenship, Ronald E. Olson, John T. Park

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Elastic angular differential cross sections for small-angle scattering of protons by atomic hydrogen have been measured. The technique utilized unambigously distinguishes the elastically and inelastically scattered ions. The cross sections fall monotonically by 3 orders of magnitude in the angular range from 0.5 to 3.0 mrad, in the center-of-mass system. The experimental data obtained are in very good agreement with a multistate calculation and in fair agreement with both our Glauber-approximation and classical-trajectory Monte Carlo results.
