Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Tests On Light Beams Of Cold-Formed Steel, Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Jun 1944

Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Tests On Light Beams Of Cold-Formed Steel, Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

I. SCOPE OF THIS REPORT In the Twenty-fifth Progress Report a series of twenty-three tests was reported on web crippling under concentrated loads. On the basis of these tests the design requirements of section 4.9 of the Tentative Specifications (April 1944 edition) were written. The scope of these tests, however, was not broad enough to insure safe design stipulations for all important cases for the following reasons: (a) Of the twenty-three tests six were conducted with roller loading (zero bearing length), and therefore are not represetative of acutal conditions. This leaves only seventeen representative tests. (b) all tests were conducted …

Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Tests On Light Beams Of Cold-Formed Steel, Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

I. SCOPE OF THIS REPORT This report contains the complete evaluation of test results of the I-beam tests reported on in the 33rd and 34th Beam Reports. In considering the results of this evaluation, two factors should be kept in mind which adversely affect the accuracy of results: (l) These beams were designed primarily to serve as control specimens for future channel tests. Their usefulness in verifying the equivalent width approach is somewhat impaired by the fact that the compression flanges represent only a rather small part of the total cross-sectional area. Thus, a moderate change of equivalent width of …

Floods Of May 1943 In Missouri, John August Short Jan 1944

Floods Of May 1943 In Missouri, John August Short

Professional Degree Theses

"The year 1943 will be remembered for a long time as a year of great floods in the Middle West. Floods were occurring in some section of Missouri from April to June. The period of highest stream flow in general occurred during the month of May, and it is the May flood to which this paper pertains. It is quite possible that the importance of this flood is not generally recognized. Although everyone realizes that it was a major catastrophe, only planners for the future, particularly designing engineers, can fully appreciate the benefits which will be obtained from the information …

The Electrodeposition Of Chromium From Trivalent Salt Solutions, Bahri Ersoz May 1943

The Electrodeposition Of Chromium From Trivalent Salt Solutions, Bahri Ersoz

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The enormous number of previous experiments and researches for the improvement of the commercial chromic acid bath, did not succeed even in the partial elimination of any one of the disadvantages of chromic acid bath. This led the author to believe that the poor performance is an inherent quality of the chromic acid bath, and is due to the fact that the deposition occurs from the higher state of oxidation.

The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy May 1943

The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Many attempts have been made to improve iron and steel and their alloys by the addition of boron. The re­sults obtained were not encouraging for the reason that the amount of boron used, generally from 0.2 to 2.0 per cent is altogether too high. This percentage of boron ren­ders the product hard and brittle and of late the experiments with boron in this connection have been practically abandoned.

An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson May 1943

An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation was to attempt to find some means of increasing the effective porosity and permeabil­ity of the producing sands of the Cut Bank Oil Field, with the hope that thereby the ultimate recovery of petroleum from this field may be increased. Although the percentage increase in production thus effected would undoubtedly be small, it would represent a substantial volume of petroleum in view of the great quantity of oil and gas present in this field.

Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis Apr 1943

Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In studying the Cut Bank field and its numerous wells, it is found that dry holes are surrounded by producing wells, and also that the field as a whole is very irregular; water, oil, and gas zones in many cases following no definite pattern. In some instances, this phenomenon may be due to the lensing and thinning of the producing sands, but it is evident that this is not the only factor. There­fore, the controlling factors must be porosity and permeability.

Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell Apr 1943

Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Coal was first mined in Montana in the year 1880. For the last thirty years the mining of coal in this state has been very important-with few people realizing its value. In the mineral industry, the value of the annual production of coal is exceeded by none of the non-metallics, and only by gold, silver, and copper in the metallics. At the present time the coal production of Montana is valued at about 41000,000.00 annually.
