An Examination Of Equipment For Preventing Segregation In Storage Of Coarse Aggregates, S. T. Collier

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This is a report of an investigation of a device developed for the purpose of reducing to a minimum the segregation of coarse aggregates during delivery from chutes or conveyors to bins and other storage or transportation facilities.

Producers and consumers are always confronted, more or less, with segregation of materials, but methods toward its elimination have been moderately successful at best. As a matter of fact, the most successful of those methods have been those that required placement and distribution of loads in bins, stockpiles, barges, and the like, rather than the use of mechanical devices for prevention of …

A Report On The Reduction Of Sphalerite Under Reduced Pressure, John H. Fuqua, William H. Magruder

Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy Reports

During the last war, with the increased demand for magnesium metal and the general disregard for costs, a number of plants were constructed for the production of magnesium by vacuum metallurgical methods. (Both the Carbothermic Process and the Pidgeon Ferrosilicon Process employ vacuum systems for the production of metallic Mg.)

At the close of the war several of the government built plants were forced to suspend operations because of the economic impossibility of producing magnesium in competition with the Dow Chemical Company. It was with the availability of these plants in mind that experimentation with the possibilities of producing metallic …

Test 408: Gibson Model I, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

All tractors tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory were certified by their manufacturers as being stock model machines, conforming to specifications filed with the application for test. No special or high-test fuels were used except as recommended by the manufacturer as necessary.

All results within the official tractor test report were actually attained in tests and are without correction or allowances for friction, temperature, altitude, etc. The results were initially accomplished with the tractor in charge of skilled operators employed by the University.

Unless otherwise noted, each tractor was apparently in good condition at the end of the testing …

Study Of Oil Well Squeeze Cementing Operations, Arthur Wellesley Walker

Professional Degree Theses

"A study of the literature and field operations indicates conclusively that squeeze cementing operations are performed almost exclusively as corrective measures in completing or working-over wells. The most common use is to correct for faulty cement operations during original well completions. Careful study of field operations indicate that in most cases formations are broken-down at pressures far less than that required to lift the overburden, and that large quantities of drilling mud and cement may be pumped into the well (and formations) at pressures less than that of the overburden. Analyses of the forces indicate that the formations will be …

Recommended Procedure For The Computation Of Rights Of Way, Leon Hershkowitz

Professional Degree Theses

"This thesis sets forth a recommended procedure for the computation of areas included in "rights of way," using the principle of double meridian distances.

For a considerable number of years, it has been the opinion of the author that steps should be taken to arrive at some form of standardization in the procedures necessary in the computation of areas involving right of way and to more or less standardize legal descriptions pertaining thereto.

One need only examine the records of the various County Recorders in one particular state or in different states and he would be entirely convinced that such …

Research Investigation Of Seepage Control For Dams And Levees, Robert Raymond Brookshire

Professional Degree Theses

"The problems of a century old levee system have provided excellent research for the Corp of Engineers and others in the design and construction of earth dams for flood control, navigation and multi-purpose projects. A special problem on which valuable knowledge has been gained is that of seepage control. The experiences obtained in recent years have been supplemented by theoretical developments in the field of soil mechanics, but it is believed that considerable information will be gained on seepage control from further investigation and experience.

The safety factor to prevent failure from seepage is believed to be the most critical …

Geological Report Of Conrow Wood Creek Area 8 Miles N.E. Of Whitehall, Montana, Kenneth M. Judd

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Plane table and pacing methods were used in the mapping of the individual areas, but an automobile traverse was used to tie the independent areas into a composite group that would be useful for the entire zone. All land marks, section corners, roads, fence lines, drainage, and geologic features were plotted in the field and later transferred to a master map.

Caving Procedure At The Crestmore Limestone Mine Of The Riverside Cement Company, Riverside County, Calif., Randall Helt Wightman

Professional Degree Theses

"The following paper describes current mining practices of the Riverside Cement Company at its Crestmore Mine, Riverside, California. For a number of years the Riverside Cement Company obtained its raw materials by surface quarry operations, but after these deposits were exhausted for equipment available at that time, the Company started underground mining. Mine workings were begun in 1927 to 1930 for the recovery of limestone by block-caving methods"--Introduction, page 1.

Stress Analysis By Photoelastic Methods, Herald K. Palmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The object of this article is to point out how the principles of photo elasticity may be used as a basis for the analysis of stresses in machine parts. It is also to review the methods and demonstrate the procedure for the determination of the characteristics and values of stresses in the models of the parts studied.

Geologic Considerations In Relation To A Materials Survey, James L. Young Jr., L. E. Gregg

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In materials surveying, geology should be of maximum benefit, not as a complete informant but as a foundation for reconnaissance, assembly, and cataloging of materials. Geology in essence is a materials survey on a grand scale. Use of this science for engineering purposes involves some primary knowledge of geologic nomenclature, the basic historic approach of geologists, and the use of resources and data published by state, federal, and private agencies over a period of 75 years.

Recognition of the need for information on surface conditions as an aid to engineering and allied sciences is emphasized; and in response to this …

Recommended Special Specification For Surfacing Materials For Signs And Markers, L. E. Gregg
