Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

Campus crime is an Important issue within the State University System of Florida. While the publication of campus crime data at Florida universities has taken place for almost twenty years, there has been an increase in public attention to this a. a, due primarily to media attention.

The problem addressed in this study was that the State University System did not have accurate and comprehensive information on crime statistics for Itself and its surrounding communities.

It was determined that given the national, state, and local Interests in the campus crime issue, decision-makers needed relevant data u n which to develop …

An Experimental Method For Determining Membrane Penetration, Jong W. Choi, Isao Ishibashi

Civil & Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

A new and simple experimental method is proposed for the determination of membrane penetration due to changes of the effective confining pressure in triaxial and hollow cylinder tests. The proposed method has advantages over existing methods in that it requires neither special devices nor questionable assumptions. It only requires a series of drained isotropic compression tests in a conventional triaxial device with plastic liners. The results from the proposed method are compared to those from several existing experimental and analytical methods.
