An Investigation Of Core-Strengths Of A Portland Cement Concrete Pavement, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This investigation concerns observed differences between the strengths of molded cylinder and beam specimens and the strength of concrete in situ. The specific project is a section of I 64 in Rowan County [I 64-6(15)130]. The paving was done between August 19 and September 27, 1968. Cylinder specimens molded on the project were tested after they had cured 28 days. Beam specimens were tested before they had cured 14 days. Those test results were "normal". However, cores taken to measure thickness of the pavement were subsequently tested for strength; and the pavement cores, even though older when tested, yielded strengths …

Channel And Z-Sections Braced By Diaphragms, Nuri Celebi, George Winter

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The behavior of thin-walled cold formed channel and Z-sections, braced on their upper flange by light-gage steel diaphragms under static loading is studied. The objective of the study is to obtain mathematical solutions, to verify these solutions by tests, and to derive design formulations for the bending behavior of channel and Z-section beams with various boundary conditions. This type of structural element is encountered as purlins and girts to support the roof cover and siding of metal buildings. The roof cover is connected to the upper flange of the purlins and gives rise to the case of braced compression flange …

A Liquid Extraction Column With Reciprocated Wire Mesh Packing, Robert M. Wellek, M. Uran Ozsoy, J. J. Carr, Dudley Thompson, Thomas V. Konkle

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In a new type of pulsating, liquid extractor, pulsating energy is added to the counter currently flowing liquid streams by a stainless-steel wire mesh packing which is reciprocated vertically in a 3-inch i.d. extraction column. The mass transfer performance and flooding characteristics are studied as a function of the frequency and amplitude of reciprocation, the total solvent and feed throughputs, and choice of phase dispersion. The benzene-HAc-H₂O and MIBK-HAcH₂O systems were used. Extraction data for the benzene system were correlated in terms of a dimensionless pulse velocity group. Operating throughputs are significantly higher than those achieved …

Engineering Geognosy Of Warren County, Jerry G. Pigman, Tommy C. Hopkins

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Engineering soils and geologic maps are proving to be invaluable to engineers, industrial leaders, community planners, and administrators during the preliminary stages of planning and site selection. Quantitative engineering data on soils and geological formations, and the interpretation of these data, are important factors to consider in developing the best land-use plans and providing stable foundations for highways, buildings, and other structures, such as dams. Information of this type, when available, is being used by public and private organizations in planning urban development. Engineering soils and geologic maps can be used to great advantage in four major ways by planners …

Grooving Pavement Centerlines For Lane Demarcation, Ronald D. Hughes, Gordon R. Garner

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Lane demarcation is conventionally accomplished by use of white traffic paint placed as a skip line. Most traffic paints are beaded by premixing glass beads in the paint, by drop-on applications, or a combination of the two. The retrodirective properties of the beads greatly enhance nighttime visibility during dry weather; however, visibility of the lines is practically nil during wet nighttime driving. Submerged beads cannot redirect the light when the need for guidance is mosL critical. Thermoplastic striping materials have been used to varying degrees of success by numerous agencies. Wet nighttime visibility of thermoplastics, as experienced in Kentucky, is …

Selected Features Of Kentucky Geology From Lexington To Pineville, Herbert F. Southgate, Tommy C. Hopkins, Gordon D. Scott

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Kentucky has been disturbed by two major catastrophic events. The major portion of the state was upheaved to what is referred to as the Cincinnati Anticline, and erosion has resulted in forming of several physiographic regions, four of which will be traversed on this trip--namely, the Inner Blue Grass region, the Outer Blue Grass region, the Knobs, and the Eastern Coal Fields. The second major catastrophic event was the Appalachian folding, of which the Pine Mountain Overthrust and its faulting affects the southeastern Kentucky area.

The Inner Blue Grass region contains the lowest exposed geologic formation in Kentucky which is …

The Influence Of Ambiguity And Noise On The Measurement Of Turbulent Spectra By Doppler Scattering, J. L. Lumley, W. K. George, Y. Kobashi

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

A fundamental uncertainty in velocity measurement by Doppler scattering is caused by the finite residence time of the scattering particles in the observation volume; the arrival of scattering particles at arbitrary times gives rise to fluctuations in phase (and hence frequency) of the observed Doppler frequency. An estimate is obtained for the spectrum of these frequency fluctuations (called ambiguity noise). The frequency at which the spectral levels of a turbulent signal and the ambiguity noise are equal, provides a limit to the temporal resolution of an instantaneous velocity measurement; this limit is obtained, and shown to be quite restrictive. The …

Laser-Doppler Measurements Of The Decay Of Velocity Fluctuations In Dilute Polymer Solutions, Neil S. Berman, Eugene E. Cooper

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

Finite disturbances were generated in a pipe containing water or a 20 ppm solution of Separan AP-30 in water by oscillating a sleeve at the wall. The sleeve amplitude in the axial direction varied from 0.5 to 2.0 inches and the frequency from 0.25 to 1.0 Hz. Downstream of the sleeve oscillations in the fluid velocity were measured with a laser Doppler flowmeter at various axial and radial positions to determine behavior at the lower frequency part of the stability curve for water. The response amplitude, phase angle and the mean velocities were measured for both fluids at Reynolds numbers …

Optical Statistical Measurements Of Free Convection Flow Patterns, E. F. C. Somerscales

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

Measurements have been made of the autocorrelation of photographs of the flow patterns produced at high Rayleigh numbers in a horizontal layer of liquid heated from below and cooled on top. The relation of these measurements to temperature measurements in the fluid are considered. Analogous situations in other physical systems are also discussed.
