A Synthesis Of Modern Rail Transportation Engineering Practices, Donald D. Cook Sep 1977

A Synthesis Of Modern Rail Transportation Engineering Practices, Donald D. Cook

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

The 1970’s will go down in history as the decade in which the University of Nebraska – Civil Engineering Department expanded its academic interest to include the field of transportation. Railroad transportation and activities related to the instruction of planning, design and operation of railroads become a most important part of the transportation curriculum when viewed in the above context. Unfortunately, no modern comprehensive textbook exists for use in a rail transportation course.

The intent of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive source of data for use in the course of study in Railroad Transportation being developed by the …


Missouri River Computerized Data Bank, Glendon Taylor Stevens Jun 1977

Missouri River Computerized Data Bank, Glendon Taylor Stevens

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This report explains the results of "The Missouri River Computerized Data Bank." It contains all known data collected on the Missouri River beginning in the mid-1930's.

It should be noted that only 10% of the included data has been verified, i.e. has been checked against the source document. A bounds check was performed by the computer on each piece of data for upper and lower limits established for each type of data. Any potential user of these data should be aware of this fact and that, on the average, 1 piece of data out of 200 may be in error. …
