Ethnographic Overview And Assessment Of Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming, United States Department Of The Interior, National Park Service

Natural Resources-Planning, Management, and Conservation

This report was commissioned by the National Park Service [in early] 1990 to document those values held by Indian peoples who consider Devils Tower important to their [cultural] traditions. The study is one of many undertaken to inventory the wide range of resources (natural, historic, archeological, ethnographic) that are found on park lands. Results of studies like these are fully considered in resource management plans, park interpretive or educational programs, and in the day-to-day operations of parks.

Most recently, this Ethnographic Overview and Assessment was used to help identify those American Indian communities that would have interest in a climbing …

Urban Renewal: The Huntington Experience, Mark B. Bugher

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This study is based on the premise that restrictive regulations of the Huntington, West Virginia Urban Renewal Authority had a detrimental effect on new development in the downtown area of that city during the period between 1958 to the present. Background research was conducted on the history of urban renewal at the federal, state, and local levels to better understand the setting for events that occurred during the stated time frame. Using mostly urban renewal documents and interviews with local community leaders, an analysis was made of each urban renewal project undertaken in Huntington. Individual requirements of the Urban Renewal …

The Michigan Law Quadrangle: Architecture And Origins, Kathryn Horste

About the Buildings

The Michigan Law Quadrangle: Architecture and Origins is intended to combine elements of a history and a guidebook. For those students, alumni, and visitors to Ann Arbor who have long admired the sequestered spaces and the noble corridors ofthe Quadrangle, the book is meant to answer some ofthe many questions that come to mind about its historical styles and the significance of its rich decorations, as well as to serve as a ready source book for those encountering the Quadrangle for the first time. Chapters 2 and 3 recount the history of the Quadrangle as a construction project and the …

Faculty Catalog 1993 - 1997, School Of Architecture

School of Architecture Publications - Archive

This modest volume, the School of Architecture's Faculty Catalog, is offered as a companion to the more familiar academic reference, the Course Catalog. In fact, the Faculty Catalog is more important than its conventional counterpart because it presents people, the teachers who give the courses and so much else. Teachers can work without courses. But courses - those discrete units of content and procedure and time - have no life without teachers. The Faculty Catalog is published to help those who want to know and to use the School of Architecture: Students and prospective students - faculty and prospective faculty …

2 | Yiftaḥ’El: Salvage And Rescue Excavations At A Prehistoric Village In Lower Galilee, Israel, Eliot Braun

IAA Reports—Monograph Series of the Israel Antiquities Authority

Large-scale excavations at the site of Yiftaḥ’el in Lower Galilee, revealed four strata: Strata IV–III representing a late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (or PPNC) settlement, with some evidence of agriculture; some ephemeral remains of ‘pre-Stratum II’ phase consisting of pottery that can be equated with early Pottery Neolithic wares; Stratum II representing an extensive, well-preserved ‘Early Northern EB I’ village of curvilinear buildings with an apparent emphasis on husbandry; and Stratum I comprising a rather enigmatic phase that could fall within EB I, MB I or MB II.

Yiftaḥ’el II is further discussed as an exponent of an early northern EB …

Lived Body Architecture : An Argument For Lived Bodies In Architecture And An Exploration Of Women's Lived Bodies In Society, Sherri A. Scribner

Theses

This thesis is about architecture's current disregard for the lived body and about the lived bodily experiences of women in Western society. Although these seem to be two different themes, they are connected. Architecture disregards the lived body, but it can never escape it. Architects design buildings from their own lived experiences of the world and architectural theorists most often write about architecture from their experience of being in the buildings they discuss. But because architecture has been built and discussed predominantly by men, Western theories of architecture reflect mainly a male interpretation. I begin by analyzing the paradigms of …

Carbon Frp Strengthening Of Doubly Curved Precast Pc Shell, M. Barboni, A. Benedetti, Antonio Nanni

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper a recent rehabilitation project completed in Italy using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) unidirectional sheets is examined. This technology was selected for the strengthening of a doubly curved, precast, prestressed concrete (PC) shell. The shell was part of the roof of an industrial building and had experienced severe localized damage due to accidental heat radiating from a flue. The selection of the CFRP system involved the screening of different repair procedures with relation to the constraints imposed by the owner: limited disturbance to the industrial process, safety of the occupants, low cost, and durability. In addition, the …

Multiobjective Optimization Design With Pareto Genetic Algorithm, Franklin Y. Cheng, Dan Li

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents a constrained multiobjective (multicriterion, vector) optimization methodology by integrating a Pareto genetic algorithm (GA) and a fuzzy penalty function method. A Pareto GA generates a Pareto optimal subset from which a robust and compromise design can be selected. This Pareto GA consists of five basic operators: reproduction, crossover, mutation, niche, and the Pareto-set filter. The niche and the Paretoset filter are defined, and fitness for a multiobjective optimization problem is constructed. A fuzzy-logic penalty function method is developed with a combination of deterministic, probabilistic, and vague environments that are consistent with GA operation theory based on randomness …

Performance-Based Testing Of Chemical Stabilizers, Thomas M. Petry

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Chemical stabilizing agents have been introduced that have performed in field applications to improve the behavior of earth materials. The same agents and materials subjected to standardized laboratory tests have often resulted in no improvement. For example, the tests often require pulverization of materials to finer states than are needed in the field or may require remolding when field applications are done in situ, as with injection applications. Some of the physical tests do not place treated materials in a situation resembling conditions in the field, yet they are applied to determine the use of these agents. The experiences of …

University Of Missouri-Rolla Research On Cold-Formed Steel Structures, Wei Wen Yu, Roger A. Laboube

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

During the past 27 years, numerous research projects have been conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) under the sponsorships of the American Iron and Steel Institute, National Science Foundation, American Society of Civil Engineers, Metal Building Manufacturers Association, Steel Deck Institute, Metal/Lath Steel Framing Association, Chromium Center, Nickel Development Institute, and several steel companies located in the USA, Canada, and South Africa. The purpose of these investigations has been to study the structural strength of cold-formed steel members, connections, and structural systems. Some of the research findings have been used in the development of the AISI Specification for the …

Cold-Formed Steel Webs With Openings: Summary Report, Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu, J. E. Langan, M. Y. Shan

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Based on a 3-year study that focused on the behavior of cold-formed steel beams with web openings, researchers at the University of Missouri-Rolla have developed simple, easy to apply design recommendations. The design recommendations address the limit states of web buckling resulting from bending, shear, web crippling, combined bending and shear, and combined bending and web crippling. The recommendations were developed based on the results of experimental and analytical studies of C-section beams. The C-sections, which are commonly used for wall studs and floor joists, are manufactured with web openings. Common web opening sizes are 38 x 102mm and 19 …
