A Study Of Elasto-Viscous Material Under Moving Rigid Wheel, Sou-Nan Wang Jul 1970

A Study Of Elasto-Viscous Material Under Moving Rigid Wheel, Sou-Nan Wang

Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is considered as the solution of interaction between aircraft wheel and soil under landing of airplane. After treating soil as elasto-viscous material, we get a set of non-linear differential equations, such as momentum equations, in viscous region.

A numerical method, Marker-and·-Cell (MAC) method, was used to solve these equations. All data and curves are obtained by using CDC 6600 computer.


An Experimental Study Of Lateral Soil Pressures And Moments On Flexible Sheet Piles, James H. Donahue Jul 1970

An Experimental Study Of Lateral Soil Pressures And Moments On Flexible Sheet Piles, James H. Donahue

Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations

In order to study the effect compaction has on lateral earth pressures exerted on and bending moments in steel sheet pile bulkheads, an experimental study was undertaken which employed the placement of a non-cohesive soil at two specific densities against three model piles of varying thicknesses. The soil was placed both in a loose and a dense state and the bending strains and deflections of the sheet piles were measured at various stages of backfill. Surface loadings were then placed after completion of the backfilling to observe the effects these loads had on the bending moments. The results of the …


Electronic Analog Computer Hydrologic Simulation Of The Upper Bear River Basin, Mohammed A. Basha May 1970

Electronic Analog Computer Hydrologic Simulation Of The Upper Bear River Basin, Mohammed A. Basha

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

OF the total precipitation falling on watersheds throughout the world, an average of approximately 85 percent returns directly to the atmosphere through evaporation and use by mountain vegetation. The remaining 15 percent moves from the watersheds as runoff and becomes available in the valleys to be used by man for irrigation, industry, recreation, and many other requirements in recent years has led to an increasing need for efficient management of available water resources, and in this regard computer modeling or simulation has proved to be a powerful tool.

The study described herein involves simulation of the hydrologic system of the …


Case Study And Analysis Of A Low Cost Housing Project In An Urban Area In India, P. Purusothaman, Jawalker K. Sridhar Rao Jan 1970

Case Study And Analysis Of A Low Cost Housing Project In An Urban Area In India, P. Purusothaman, Jawalker K. Sridhar Rao

International Symposia on Low Cost Housing Problems

An urban development project involving residential and school buildings as an extension of Madras city is described. The analysis of the project is made using the systems approach as a problem of human settlements. The methods adopted for efficient utilisation of space at optimal cost by functional planning, use of prefabricated units and use of new constructional procedures is described. The interrelationship between environmental, technical, social, cultural, psychological, economic, financial and management factors in making decisions for the project is discussed.


An Investigation Of Mining Effluent And Water Quality In The "New Lead Belt" Of Southeastern Missouri, Hong Wen Chen Jan 1970

An Investigation Of Mining Effluent And Water Quality In The "New Lead Belt" Of Southeastern Missouri, Hong Wen Chen

Masters Theses

"A field and laboratory investigation was carried out to collect background data for stream water quality in the New Lead Belt of Southeastern Missouri. The parameters measured were temperature, hydrogen ion concentration, hardness, alkalinity, turbidity and fluorides. A prolific algal and microbial growth was found in Bee Fork Creek which receives the mining and milling wastewater effluent from the Fletcher Mine. The laboratory studies were conducted to examine the biological effects of the organic flotation reagents used in the mining operations. The studies included Gram staining of bacteria, antimicrobial effects of milling reagents, bacterial fermentation tests of sodium isopropyl xanthate …


Fate And Effects Of Chemically-Precipitated Phosphorus In Anaerobic Digestion, Douglas Wayne Max Jan 1970

Fate And Effects Of Chemically-Precipitated Phosphorus In Anaerobic Digestion, Douglas Wayne Max

Masters Theses

"This study was conducted to determine the fate of chemically-precipitated phosphorus during the overall wastewater treatment process under actual field conditions. Specific objectives were: to evaluate the removal of phosphorus with alum and sodium aluminate in a pilot plant activated sludge system, to determine the fate of the precipitated phosphorus incorporated into the microbial floc when placed in an anaerobic environment, and to observe the effect of aluminum on the digestion process. Five 38-gpd continuous-flow activated sludge pilot plant units were operated at the Rolla Love Creek trickling filter plant and were fed with settled domestic sewage. The sludge from …


Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen Jan 1970

Penetration In A Graded Filter, William Chuan Shen

Masters Theses

"An experimental laboratory study conducted to examine clogging within and penetration of fines into a single layer graded filter. Hydraulic gradient, filter gradation and flow direction were varied. Forty one tests gave over six hundred individual penetration depths. The magnitude of penetration in filters with considerable variation in gradation patterns correlated with an average hydraulic radius based on the volume of voids and an approximated total surface area. It has been shown than an increased thickness of poorly graded filter will stop penetration such as that caused by seepage erosion. A relationship between hydraulic radius, penetration depth and probability of …


Behavior Of A Remolded Silty-Clay Subjected To Sequential Loading, Lawrence Tsi-Ching Chung Jan 1970

Behavior Of A Remolded Silty-Clay Subjected To Sequential Loading, Lawrence Tsi-Ching Chung

Masters Theses

"The investigation was undertaken to determine shear strength and pore pressure parameters of a soil when subjected to sequential loading. This method is intended to similate the in-situ condition of stress application under certain field conditions. The testing procedure, a sequential triaxial shear test, is described. This test consists of successive stages of partial consolidation followed by undrained shear. Triaxial consolidation and shear strength characteristics of a sedimented remolded silty-clay are compared with the results from conventional tests on isotropically consolidated samples. The undrained strength was found to be a function of moisture content, irrespective of the method of test …


Shear Strength Characteristics Of Crushed Glass, Fred Ray Browning Jan 1970

Shear Strength Characteristics Of Crushed Glass, Fred Ray Browning

Masters Theses

"Drained and undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on two gradations of crushed glass in order to determine the compressibility and shear strength characteristics. Consolidation pressures varied from 10 to 100 psi. Volume changes during consolidation were discussed because of the dependency of shear strength behavior on the density condition at the end of consolidation. Stress-strain-volume change characteristics were observed in order to discuss the load-deformation and dilatancy relationships and the effects of varying density, gradation and consolidation pressure. Stress-strain properties were also determined for the undrained tests. The undrained tests were constant volume tests, thus having no dilatancy effects. …
