Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Beam Webs In Bending, Shear, And A Combination Of Bending And Shear, Roger A. Laboube Jan 1977

Strength Of Cold-Formed Steel Beam Webs In Bending, Shear, And A Combination Of Bending And Shear, Roger A. Laboube

Doctoral Dissertations

"An extensive experimental investigation has been conducted to study the load-carrying capacity of cold-formed steel web elements subjected to bending stress, shear stress, and a combination of bending and shear stresses. Emphasis has been concentrated on the instability and postbuckling strength of beam webs.

In the study of beam webs subjected only to bending, the postbuckling strength of web elements and the effect of the compression flange on the moment capacity have been carefully evaluated for beams having stiffened and unstiffened flanges. Based on 84 test results, formulas have been developed to predict the ultimate moment capacity of cold-formed steel …

Cross Florida Barge Canal Restudy Report Summary, Department Of The Army Jacksonville District Corp Of Engineers Aug 1976

Cross Florida Barge Canal Restudy Report Summary, Department Of The Army Jacksonville District Corp Of Engineers

Waterways and wildlife

The objective of this study was to prepare a Restudy Report including an environmental assessment and analysis, engineering and cost studies, and updated economic studies on various alter natives for the Cross Florida Barge Canal Project. Detailed engineering, economics and environmental results are presented in separate documents and summarized herein. An environmental impact statement was prepared to accompany the Restudy Report. The basic framework for the studies was regional in scope and included baseline conditions as well as future conditions expected with and without the alternatives studied. Study area delineation was based upon the economic , social, and environmental systems …


Subcontracting By The Petrochemical Engineer-Constructor, Michael Peter Skurla May 1976

Subcontracting By The Petrochemical Engineer-Constructor, Michael Peter Skurla

Theses

An analysis has been made of the methods used by a Petrochemical Engineer-Constructor, who has national labor agreements, in deciding if the construction phase of a project should be done by a subcontract method of construction or be accomplished on a direct hire basis. The petrochemical complex under discussion is considered to be in the $75 million range for the total installed cost including design, engineering, procurement, and construction.

The influence of subcontracting portions of the construction phase by the Engineer-Constructor is reviewed with its impact on: the client; project schedule and cost; local and national labor relations, because of …


The Effects Of Angularity On The Compaction And Shear Strength Of A Cohesionless Material, Richard Edward Swiderski May 1976

The Effects Of Angularity On The Compaction And Shear Strength Of A Cohesionless Material, Richard Edward Swiderski

Theses

Several physical methods are described for the practical measurement and rating of angularity (shape) of cohesionless soil particles. Angularity is determined by utilizing the fundamental property of a sphere: a sphere has the smallest contact surface area of any shape for a given volume. Therefore, any other shape will exhibit a greater contact surface area and consequently will have a greater frictional resistance which is a function of its degree of angularity.

The effects of angularity on the physical behavior (e.g. strength) of cohesionless soils was investigated at various relative compaction densities. For this purpose a combined compaction and direct …


Viscoelastic Cylindrical Pressure Vessel With Variable Inner Radius, A. N. Joshi Jan 1976

Viscoelastic Cylindrical Pressure Vessel With Variable Inner Radius, A. N. Joshi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this thesis is to predict from a theoretical basis the stress redistribution processes occurring within the viscoelastic core of a cylindrical pressure vessel reinforced by an elastic casing around the outer perimeter, and subject to internal pressure applied to the time-dependent inner boundary of the cylinder. The problem so stated requires development of a new technique leading to a solution for a mixed boundary value problem for a viscoelastic body occupying an ablating cylindrical y-shaped region. The approach taken in this thesis consists in reduction of a governing integro-differential equation to an equivalent set of algebraic equ3tions …

Sewer System Design For Camp Challenge And Determination Of Per Capita Wastewater Flows From Vacation Facilities, William C. Goucher Jan 1976

Sewer System Design For Camp Challenge And Determination Of Per Capita Wastewater Flows From Vacation Facilities, William C. Goucher

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A sewer system was designed for Camp Challenge of the Florida Easter Seal Society, in Mount Plymouth, Florida, of polyvinyl chloride piping. Invert elevations were tabulized and necessary fittings determined for the system. Cost estimates were also included. The sewers were designed on a per fixture basis so as not to overdesign using per capita flow rates. A literature and records search was conducted to obtain design and actual wastewater flow quantities in gallons per capita per day (gpcd). Actual flows determined from 4 camps and 11 travel trailer parks gave average values of 39 and 33 gpcd, respectively, and …
