Dynamic Pullout Resistance Of Anchors Buried In Dry Sand, Chris John Veesaert Jan 1977

Dynamic Pullout Resistance Of Anchors Buried In Dry Sand, Chris John Veesaert

Masters Theses

"The vertical pullout resistance of buried anchors subjected to dynamic loading was investigated by means of a laboratory model study. A dry uniformly graded sand, compacted by vibration to 92% of its relative density, was used as the test medium. Tests were performed in a 24-inch square tank using 3.0 and 5.0-inch diameter half and full-anchors. The anchors were tested at depths ranging from 5.0 to 21.0 inches.

It was assumed that the dynamic failure mechanism of earth anchors was the same as the static failure mode, and not distinct behavior. Thus static tests, i.e., tests using a constant strain …


An Evaluation Of Productivity And Efficiency In Work Scheduling In A Public Works Department, Kraig L. Gordon Jan 1977

An Evaluation Of Productivity And Efficiency In Work Scheduling In A Public Works Department, Kraig L. Gordon

Masters Theses

“Managers throughout the world frequently associate the meanings of productivity and efficiency with the capabilities and performance of employees. This approach is limited since productivity entails far more than the output of the labor force. The factors affecting productivity need evaluating to determine the significance they plan in the overall process.

Industry has attempted to improve its productivity posture by utilizing a multitude of concepts. Some of these concepts are time and motion studies and process planning. However, in the public sector, literature shows that little has been attempted to improve the productivity in public organizations.

The greatest portion of …


Geology Of The Stateline District, Utah-Nevada, Terry Moore Collins Jan 1977

Geology Of The Stateline District, Utah-Nevada, Terry Moore Collins

Masters Theses

"The rocks exposed in the Stateline District, Iron County, Utah and Lincoln County, Nevada, are Tertiary volcanics, which serve as hosts for gold and silver bearing quartz veins. The Miocene rhyolites and dellenites, a possible caldera, cupola-associated rock textures, and the faults and styles of deformations indicate the geologic setting of Stateline is in harmony with the tectonic framework of the southern Great Basin. Four map units, subdivided into nine members, are recognized. X-ray fluorescence analyses for SiO₂, TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, CaO, and K₂O differentiated the map units, while variations in the primary quartz, sanadine, plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, and total crystal …

Petrology Of The Rockport Quarry Limestone (Middle Devonian Traverse Group) Alpena, Presque Isle And Montmorency Counties, Michigan, Charles Willard Cookman

Masters Theses

The basal unit of the dominantly carbonate Traverse Group, the Bell Shale, is gradationally overlain by the Rockport Quarry Limestone which has a thickness of approximately 14 m. The Rockport Quarry Limestone is composed of a dark unrestricted marine subtidal organic-mud packstone facies, comprised of an algal-mat-bearing coral packstone subfacies and a shallower water crinoid-bryozoan grainstone subfacies; a shoal forming stromatoporoid biolithite facies; and a lagoonal micrite facies comprised of a subtidal dense subfacies containing gastropods, ostracods, and calcispheres, and an Intertidal to supratidal fenestral subfacies. The local facies tract reconstructed for the Rockport Quarry Limestone is interpreted to be …
