The Limnological Status Of Lake Mead And Lake Mohave Under Present And Future Powerplant Operations Of Hoover Dam, Larry J. Paulson, John R. Baker, James E. Deacon, U.S. Water And Power Resources Service

Publications (WR)

The ever-increasing demand for energy in the southwest has led to a search for additional sources of power generation. Coal-fired powerplants currently provide most of the baseline energy in the southwest, but this must be supplemented with hydroelectric power during periods of peak demand. In order to provide additional peaking power, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is considering a number of projects to modify existing hydroelectric facilities, or add new facilities in the Lake Mead Recreation Area. The Hoover Powerplant Modification Feasibility Investigation was authorized by Congress on December 16, 1975 to determine the feasibility of: (i) adding one or …

Ozonation Of A Municipal Groundwater Supply To Reduce Iron, Manganese, And Trihalomethane Formation, Richard Alan Stoebner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the feasibility of using ozonation followed by filtration for removal of iron and manganese and prevention of trihalomethane formation. To avoid disruption of the treatment plant operation, pilot-scale units were used in the investigation. The filter media and filtering rates employed during the pilot studies were identical to those used at the East Water Treatment Plant.

Bicycle-Motor Vehicle Accidents In Kentucky, Kenneth R. Agent, Charles V. Zegeer, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics associated with bicycle related, motor-vehicle accidents in Kentucky. It was found that cyclists 10 to 14 years of age were involved in the largest number of motor-vehicle related accidents. Males were involved in four times as many accidents a s females. Most accidents occurred in urban areas, mostly on residential streets. The majority of accidents resulted from errors by the cyclists. The most common type was the right-angle accident, but the leading types varied with cyclist's age. Several factors were related to age and accident severity. The accidents were summarized …

Evaluation Of Legibility Of Reflectorized License Plates, C. Earl Israelsen, Ronald V. Canfield

Reports

The rainfall simulator at the Utah Water Research Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, was utilized in evaluating various types of license plates. This unique facility enables the production of controlled uniform rainfall inside the laboratory. For this experiment, rainfall rates of 0" (dry), 1/2" and 2" per hour were used to compare reflective performance of reflective sheeting (RS), beads-on-paint (BOP), and new paint (NP) license plates under dark nighttime conditions. Both new and used license plates were evaluted. The three types of new plates were made and embossed at the Idaho State Prison using stanard state manufacturing procedures. The …

Evaluation Of The Fhwa Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Procedure (Snap 1) [Jan. 1980], Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Traffic noise prediction procedures are used in the design of new highways to determine if noise is limited to specific levels. A previous study evaluated the procedure outlined in NCHRP Report 117 and developed a correction factor which was incorporated into Kentucky's noise prediction procedure. This adjusted NCHRP 117 procedure has been used in Kentucky for the past several years. The Federal Highway Administration has developed a new procedure to predict traffic noise levels. The objective of this study was to evaluate the new prediction procedure, designated as SNAP 1.

Comparisons of measured and predicted noise levels showed that predictions …

Rutting Models For Asphaltic Concrete And Dense-Graded Aggregate From Repeated-Load Tests, David L. Allen, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The development of models to predict rutting in the asphaltic concrete and dense-graded aggregate layers of flexible pavements is reported. The models were developed from data obtained from repeated-load triaxial tests. Details of equipment and methodology are reported.

An asphaltic concrete base mixture was tested at temperatures of 45 F, 77 F, and 100 F. Longitudinal stress levels of 20 psi, 50 psi, and 80 psi were used. The tests were performed unconfined. Most of the specimens were tested to 10,000 cycles of loading. Three sequences of loading were used.

It is noted that temperature and stress level are extremely …

The Effect Of Truck Design On Pavement Performance, Robert C. Deen, Herbert F. Southgate, Jesse G. Mayes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

When work is done on some materials systems, their internal geometric states are altered in such a way that they have the potential to "give back" work when the force is removed and the system returns to its original configuration. This stored energy is called strain energy. Strain energy density (strain energy per unit volume) is a function of the Young's modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio and the nine strain (or stress) components; but it is independent of the coordinate system. Material properties are input into the Chevron N-layer computer program to calculate the strain components.

Having calculated the …

Missouri National Recreational River Management Plan Gavins Point Dam, South Dakota, To Ponca State Park, Nebraska

United States Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District

The Missouri River begins at Three Forks, Montana, and flows southeasterly for 2,300 miles before joining the Mississippi River a few miles north of St. Louis, Missouri.  It ranks as the second longest and is one of the most famous rivers in the United States.  It was the primary route of Lewis and Clark.  The river shared with the Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail the distinction of being one of the three main throughfares to the Far West.  It was a wild and unpredictable river that carried millions of pounds of freight.

Waters of this mighty river are …

Phase 1 Inspection Report: National Dam Safety Program. Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin. Ditch Creek Dam, Washington County, Missouri, Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Chicago, Illinois

Missouri Dam Safety Inspection Reports

This report presents the results of field inspection and evaluation of Ditch Creek Dam. It was prepared under the National Program of Inspection of Non-Federal Dams.

The inspection results indicate problems with the spillway adequacy. Although the dam is capable of passing the PMF without overtopping, the lack of a proper spillway and discharge channel and the need to pass runoff over a public transportation route (State Highway H) indicates a deficiency at this facility.

A Study Of Mechanical Degradation Of A Coarse Aggregate Subject To Repeated Loading, Mark Alan Roenfeldt

Masters Theses

"This investigation concerns itself with the problem of mechanical degradation of a coarse aggregate and specifically as it is used as railroad ballast. Laboratory tests were used to study the aggregate with respect to its plastic deformation characteristics, the amount of degradation, changes in gradation, and the rate of change of degradation as a function of the number of load cycles.

The repeated load triaxial tests were used to study how degradation occurs with respect to aggregate gradation, relative density, and the number of load applications. The Los Angeles abrasion test was also used to determine the degradation of the …
