Evaluation Of 1985 Aashto Flexible Pavement Design Equations And Nomographs, Herbert F. Southgate, Gary W. Sharpe, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The 1985 AASHTO nomograph and equations for flexible pavements were reviewed and analyzed to determine requirements for input data, sensitivity of designs based on the additional variables for percent reliability, standard deviation, and resilient modulus of subgrade material. Design thicknesses using the 1985 AASHTO Guide were compared to thicknesses using the 1981 Kentucky thickness design method for flexible pavements.

Optimization Of Richardson's Shale Durability Rating System, John Dell Long

Masters Theses

"The two-cycle sieved slake durability test, performed on specimens initially oven-dried prior to testing, was determined to be the optimum slake durability testing procedure based on 12 variations of the test performed on 12 different shale types. The effects of changing slake durability testing variables was also studied.

Standard Proctor moisture-density and compaction-degradation tests were performed on 11 shales.

A modified version of the ultrasonic cavitation disaggregation test was developed and performed on 14 shales.

Richardson's shale durability rating equation was modified to include or reflect a data base of 14 shales, the results of the 20-min. ultrasonic cavitation disaggregation …

Development Of Design Criteria For Ferritic Stainless Steel Cold-Formed Structural Members And Connections, Pieter Van Der Merwe

Doctoral Dissertations

"This dissertation describes the development of the basic criteria needed for the design of structural members cold-formed from certain ferritic stainless steels. The Allowable Stress Design method as well as the Load and Resistance Factor Design method receive attention. The ferritic stainless steels under consideration are: Types AISI 409 and 430 as well as a modified Type 409 steel, designated 3CR12 steel, developed and produced by the speciality steel producing company, Middelburg Steel and Alloys in South Africa.

The mechanical properties needed for structural design are established. It is shown through an experimental study that the design provisions for the …

Soil-Shrinkage Induced Structural Failure, David Newton Richardson, Richard Wesley Stephenson, Daniel Molloy

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This Paper Describes an Investigation into the Causes of Structural Damage to a Retirement Home and the Subsequent Rehabilitation Project. the Investigation Revealed that the Damage Was Caused by Shrinkage of the Soils Beneath the Structure's Foundation as a Result of Dry Weather, Shrinkage-Prone Characteristics of the soils, Deviation from the Original Design, and Poor Construction Techniques. the Structure Was Subsequently Underpinned to Rock using the Inclined Drilled Pier Method. Interaction between Design and Construction Professionals is Also Presented. © ASCE.

High Temperature Reactions Of 1,2-Dichloroethane With Water Vapor In A Tubular Reactor, Charles E. Anderson

Theses

This study examines the reaction of l,2-dichloroethane with water vapor. The linear-flow method is utilized, assuming plug flow without axial diffusion. Normal operation is at atmospheric pressure and the reactor is a quartz tube in a thermal region 45 cm in length. Two reactor diameters of 0.4 cm and l.05 cm are used. Water and l,2-dichloroethane enter the system in liquid phase via syringe pumps. After vaporizing in heated tubing, they are combined with argon, the reactor carrier gas. The molar ratio of water to l,2-dichloroethane is 55:l and varied residence times are achieved by changing the argon flowrate. Reactor …

Elastic-Plastic Analysis Of Axisymmetrically Loaded Isotropic Circular And Annular Plates Undergoing Large Deflections, Aiman Raji Akileh

Dissertations and Theses

The concept of load analogy is used in the elastic and elastic-plastic analysis of isotropic circular and annular plates undergoing moderately large deflection. The effects of the nonlinear terms of lateral displacement and the plastic strains are considered as additional fictitious lateral loads, edge moments, and in-plane forces acting on the plate. The solution of an elastic or elastic-plastic Von Karman type plate is hence reduced to a set of two equivalent elastic plate problems with small displacements, namely, a plane problem in elasticity and a linear elastic plate bending problem. The method of finite element is employed to solve …

A Checklist And Sample Specifications For Single And/Or Tandem Axle Dump Trucks, Herpicc

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

This publication is a revision to the February 1983 publication of the same title and contains a checklist and sample specifications to assist Indiana's Local Public Agencies in the procurement of dump trucks for use in the maintenance of local roads and streets. Most LPA's do not purchase such equipment in large numbers, hence many do not have highly qualified and experienced staff to assist in the development of the specifications for purchasing new equipment.

This checklist and the sample specifications provide for individual preferences. They are not intended to dictate decisions or restrict bidding. If followed, they will assure …
