Some Aspects Of Aerated Open-Channel Flow At Shallow Depths And Low Velocities, D. L. Fread Jan 1969

Some Aspects Of Aerated Open-Channel Flow At Shallow Depths And Low Velocities, D. L. Fread

Masters Theses

"This study is concerned with the effect of entrained air bubbles on the open-channel hydraulics of water flowing at low velocities. The air bubbles are introduced into the flowing water by injecting diffused compressed air along the channel bottom. The variations of the velocity profile and velocity distribution energy coefficient of aerated and nonaerated flow are discussed. Empirical equations have been determined for the air concentration and increased depth of flow or "bulking" of the aerated open-channel flow. The investigation revealed a significant increase in the Manning roughness coefficient and the related Darcy friction factor for aerated flow relative to …


A Flood Frequency Study For Small Watersheds In Missouri, Ronald Anthony Rusch Jan 1969

A Flood Frequency Study For Small Watersheds In Missouri, Ronald Anthony Rusch

Masters Theses

"The quantity and quality of streamflow data available on small watersheds in Missouri has improved in the last ten years. However, it will be years before there is sufficient data on both the large and small watersheds to enable investigators to conduct extensive studies in the state. This study of 70 small watersheds within the state of Missouri presents a technique to estimate the discharge from watershed of 25 square miles or less...Results from this study may be used in the design of small hydraulic structures such as culverts, bridges, and dams for small reservoirs"--Abstract, page ii.


Some Effects Of Lead-Zinc Mining Wastewater On A Stream Environment, Anthony Ralph De Alonso Handler Jan 1969

Some Effects Of Lead-Zinc Mining Wastewater On A Stream Environment, Anthony Ralph De Alonso Handler

Masters Theses

"The continuous discharge of lead-zinc mine and mill wastewater into some streams in southeastern Missouri may alter the ecology of those streams. A field and laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the potential pollution problem. Bee Fork Creek, the first stream in that area to receive tailings from mining operations, was selected for this study and periodically surveyed. Laboratory tests included static bioassays of lead, zinc, and copper, and the mode of action of the metals was investigated through post-mortem examination of the experimental fish. The test animals used in the bioassays were bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus, Rafinesque). The heavy …


Laboratory Measurement Of Pore Water Pressure Induced By A Model Friction Pile, Charles Alfred Miller Jan 1969

Laboratory Measurement Of Pore Water Pressure Induced By A Model Friction Pile, Charles Alfred Miller

Masters Theses

"This research program has been undertaken to develop a laboratory testing procedure for the measurement of pore water pressure induced by the static loading of a model friction pile. Most of the investigation involved the design, construction, and testing of equipment to be used during the tests which would produce satisfactory and reliable results. It was also desired to simulate field conditions during the tests. A series of tests were performed varying the consolidation pressure on the soil around the model pile. The effects of changing the location of the pore pressure measurements was also investigated. Results of the tests …

A Study Of Different Types Of Connections To Structural-Steel Square Tubings, Chao-Sheng Chen Jan 1969

A Study Of Different Types Of Connections To Structural-Steel Square Tubings, Chao-Sheng Chen

Masters Theses

"Although square tubular element has long been recognized as an ideal structural member, its acceptance was limited by the lack of detailed knowledge on suitable connections related to this geometric shape. It is structurally inefficient to use a strong column poorly connected to a strong beam. So it is necessary to understand, in advance of adoption, the effect and behavior of different types of connections and to develop an efficient structural system. In this study, the ordinary column-to-beam framing with different types of connections has been investigated. The three types of connections are single-plate connection, double-angle connection, and multi-angle connection. …


Static And Dynamic Instability Analysis Of Rigid Frames With Timoshenko Members, Carlton Lee Smith Jan 1969

Static And Dynamic Instability Analysis Of Rigid Frames With Timoshenko Members, Carlton Lee Smith

Masters Theses

"In this thesis, a technique has been developed to determine the natural frequencies of plane rigid frames with the consideration bending, shear deformation, rotatory inertia, and internal axial forces. The internal forces are functions of the instability load of the vibrating system for which the effects of bending and shear deformation on the stability of this structure are considered. For the sake of completeness, the matrix formulations for the dynamic or stability analysis of a rigid frame are given. The stiffness matrices of these formulations are then derived. The influence of shear deformation, rotatory inertia, and internal axial force is …


A Study On Load Transfer Of Model Friction Piles, Richard Milton Franke Jan 1969

A Study On Load Transfer Of Model Friction Piles, Richard Milton Franke

Masters Theses

"Previous investigations concerned with disturbance of soft clay by driving displacement piles are summarized. The initiation of excess pore water pressures due to pile driving, and mechanisms of load transfer are also described, along with the applicapability of model pile testing in analysis of the various phenomena. Load tests were conducted on assorted sizes of model friction piles embedded in sedimented soil samples with consisted of a silt and clay mixture. Pilot holes of various diameters were cut in the samples. A theoretical load distribution curve was used to calculate the load transferred to the soil as a function of …


Plastic Analysis Of Beam - Columns, Ning-Cheng Tsao Jan 1969

Plastic Analysis Of Beam - Columns, Ning-Cheng Tsao

Masters Theses

"The results of an analytical study of the inelastic deformation of a wide-flange steel beam-column are presented. Emphasis has been placed on the influence of axial thrust on the pinned-end beam-column subjected to equal end moments with opposite direction. For this type of beam-column behavior, the relationship between the applied moment, axial load, and resultant curvature for the region in the plastic range has been studied in this investigation"--Abstract, page ii.


The Influence Of Organic Matter On Shear Strength Of A Cohesive Soil, Kamran Rezvan Jan 1969

The Influence Of Organic Matter On Shear Strength Of A Cohesive Soil, Kamran Rezvan

Masters Theses

"The shearing properties of an organic A̲ horizon of Bryce clay were studied and compared with the properties of the same soil treated with hydrogen peroxide. The treatment was to remove the organic matter and isolate it as a variable. Tests were performed on artificially sedimented samples of the untreated, 75 percent untreated, 50 percent untreated, 25 percent untreated, and the treated soil. The effective stress failure envelopes were found to be higher for the untreated soil than that of the treated. The elastic deformation, however, was larger for the untreated samples. The pore water pressure development due to shearing …


Sorption And Desorption Of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticides By Clay Minerals, Cheng Sun Liao Jan 1969

Sorption And Desorption Of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticides By Clay Minerals, Cheng Sun Liao

Masters Theses

"This thesis describes the sorption and desorption of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides by clay minerals under laboratory controlled environmental systems. Particular emphasis was directed toward the investigation of the fundamental adsorption phenomena which occurred in selected pesticide-clay systems. the effects of certain environmental stresses, including pH, temperature and salt (NaCl) concentration of water, on the behavior of sorption and desorption were also studied. Pesticides selected for this study included DDT, dieldrin and heptachlor, and clay minerals employed were kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite. The adsorption rate and equilibrium were evaluated by batch techniques employing completely mixed systems while the effects of the …


Correlation Of Particulate Theory And Behavior Of Real Soils, Christopher Byron Groves Jan 1969

Correlation Of Particulate Theory And Behavior Of Real Soils, Christopher Byron Groves

Masters Theses

"The behavior of granular soils subjected to triaxial stresses can be explained in terms of a combination of elastic deformation and sliding friction. Three sans and a coarse silt at various initial void ratios were tested in drained triaxial compression. Cell pressures were varied between 50 and 1500 psi. Prediction techniques for simulating laboratory data was based on various packings of equal radii spheres. Equilibrium and compatibility equations were used to calculate the principal strains under certain applied stresses. The assumed arrays predicted much smaller strains than those than the soils exhibited. If these strains were subtracted from those observed, …
