A Study On Water Works For Irrigation, Joaquin Hermenegildo Hernandez Jun 1914

A Study On Water Works For Irrigation, Joaquin Hermenegildo Hernandez

Bachelors’ Theses

The large map set at the end of this thesis shows the boundary lines and general topography of the Hacienda de Guaname, a state owned by Don Mariano Hernandez Ceballos at the present day, situated in the high plateau of Mexico in the state of San Luis Potosi, about 75 Kilometers north of the capital of the state and to the west of the Mexican National R.R.. The extension of this property is over half a million acres but on account or the scarcity of rain fall during the Summer months, hardly any land is used for agriculture, the total …

Gaging Of The Gasconade River, Lawrence Collins, Sidney R. Hatch Jan 1914

Gaging Of The Gasconade River, Lawrence Collins, Sidney R. Hatch

Bachelors Theses

“The work of establishing a gaging station was begun January 31st, 1914. Due to cold weather and lack of knowledge of the river it was very difficult to locate a suitable gaging station. The advantages offered by the bridge for putting in a gaging station on the lower side of the bridge was considered and tried”—Selection of a Gaging Station, page 3.

A Study Of The Economic Design Of Short Span Girder Type Concrete-Steel Highway Bridges, Enoch Ray Needles Jan 1914

A Study Of The Economic Design Of Short Span Girder Type Concrete-Steel Highway Bridges, Enoch Ray Needles

Bachelors Theses

"The general principles underlying the design of concrete-steel structures are quite well known. Concrete itself is a structural material which is sightly, permanent, very strong in compression, thoroughly reliable when made honestly, almost fool-proof when once allowed to "set" properly, adaptable to an almost unlimited number of uses, practically fire-proof as well as water-proof, and in addition its cost is always very reasonable. The great objection to concrete is its lack of tensile strength, and likewise its lack of elasticity and toughness. Thus it is a fortunate circumstance that which is one of the least expensive of metals, and which …

The Design Of A Dam And The Investigation Of A Water Supply For The City Of Rolla, Missouri, Frank Xavier Nachtman, Ernst Lorenze Chamberlain Jan 1909

The Design Of A Dam And The Investigation Of A Water Supply For The City Of Rolla, Missouri, Frank Xavier Nachtman, Ernst Lorenze Chamberlain

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this paper is to investigate a means of supplying the City of Rolla with better water at a reasonable a price as possible. The elevation and distance of the supply from the city were very important factors,also the most economical position for the dam was to be considered. After examining several drainage basins with the above purposes in mind we selected one just west of the City on account of its convenience and high elevation. The watershed includes an area of ever eight hundred acres and is divided into two parts which come together in a narrow …

Design Of Reinforced Concrete Water Tower And Tank, Harvey Oden Garst, Pearl Frederick Michael Jan 1909

Design Of Reinforced Concrete Water Tower And Tank, Harvey Oden Garst, Pearl Frederick Michael

Bachelors Theses

"Theoretically the most economical dimension for a flat bottomed cylindrical tank would be such that the height of the tank is equal to the diameter, but such a tank does not look as well as one which has the height a little greater than the diameter and as the cost will be affected but little by making the height a few feet greater than the diameter, the most economical design will not be strictly carried out in this particular"--Data, page 1.

Development Of Power On Little Piney River, James Duncan Fowler, Frank Leroy Flynt

Bachelors Theses

"Little Piney River has its source in the southern part of Phelps County, Missouri. Its general direction is north until its junction with Beaver Creek. Then it flows nearly due west and empties into the Gasconade River near Arlington, Mo. It drains an area of approximately two hundred square miles. The slopes of its drainage area being very steep, it is subject to large and sudden rises. As it is largely a spring fed stream its minimum flow is not far below its normal stage. The stream abounds in rapids with from a few inches to a foot or more …

Graphical Representation Of Compressed Air Formulae, John Thomas Vitt, Paul Andrew Philippi Jan 1907

Graphical Representation Of Compressed Air Formulae, John Thomas Vitt, Paul Andrew Philippi

Bachelors Theses

"Air during compression and expansion obeys the same laws as do other gases and these laws have been mathematically stated by purely rational formulae. Most of these formulae are logarithmic and their use involves a considerable amount of work. The object of this thesis is to present these formulae in such form that problems involving their use may be readily and easily solved. It was decided to present them graphically and the accompanying curves are the results of our labors"--page 1.

The Sinking Of Piers On Red River Bridge On Kansas City Southern Ry., Albert Spengler Jan 1901

The Sinking Of Piers On Red River Bridge On Kansas City Southern Ry., Albert Spengler

Bachelors Theses

"In September, 1899, began the work on the construction of the substructure for the Red River Bridge for the Kansas City Southern Railway at Index, Texas, ten miles north of Texarkana, Texas. The new substructure was located about one hundred feet up stream from the old one, consequently it was not necessary to maintain traffic during construction. The object of the new bridge was to replace a much lighter one, which was too light for the increased weight of rolling stock of the railroad company. The substructure consists of seven piers, including a pivot pier, and two abutments. The seven …

The Strength Of Cement Under Different Conditions, Francis Joseph Tayman

Bachelors Theses

"Derivation of some Empirical Formulae, showing relation between breaking strength, and various functions which enter into Cement testing. We find a great deal of experimental work done in Cement testing, also some curves plotted, but there are but few equations fitted to these curves, this, then, is the object of the present work. In this work a great many interesting points have been made manifest, most of them are of no practical value but merely of interest in themselves. The work has been on several of the most important ones, to be given subsequently. On these and a few others …
