An attempt is made to determine whether
or not property value appreciation on land adjacent to an
expanding urban center is related to distance from the
city and to identify the temporal variation in this relationship.
The results of simple linear regression strongly
suggest that property value appreciation and distance...
Fabricated steel beam specimens with rectangular holes cut in
the webs were subjected to load tests to analyze the behavior of the
modified section. Beam-depth to hole-depth ratio was in all cases
2.0; however, ratio of hole length to hole height varied from 2.0 to
3.0. The primary instrumentation of...
The critical buckling load for round tapered columns with variable
end fixity is presented. The theory used is presented together
with the general solution for the resulting differential equation. This
general solution is solved by use of a computer. The computer program
written specifically for this thesis, the flow chart,...
This paper is a theoretical approach to solve
problems of horizontally curved beams Castiglione's
theorem is applied to solve for the fixed end bending
moments, maximum span moments and fixed end torsional
moments. To calculate the vertical deflection at the midspan
of the curved beam the moment-area method is used....
Development of long-range nuclear weapons in recent years and
the subsequent threat of nuclear war has led to an increased awareness
of the need for civilian protection. Adequate shelter design can
provide substantial protection against delayed radioactive fallout.
Protection can generally be greatly increased by more massive roof
construction to...
