  • The Effects of Temperature on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Concrete

    Creator:
    Coyle, Alex T.
    Abstract:
    Measuring resistivity as a method to calculate formation factor is becoming a popular way to evaluate transport properties of concrete. Resistivity measurements are dependent on multiple factors including the resistivity of the pore solution, leaching effects, the degree of saturation of the specimen, the age of the specimen (degree of...

  • Experimental studies of Vierendeel beam analysis

    Creator:
    Russell, William Clyde
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Economic comparison of structural design with reference to radiation shielding

    Creator:
    Rasmussen, William Kent
    Abstract:
    This paper investigates the proposed preliminary designs of two gymnasiums with respect to gamma radiation shielding due to radioactive fallout. For each building a determination is made of the protection offered from radiation fallout. If the degree of protection is below the minimum value set by the Office of Civil...

  • Accuracy assessment of LiDAR point cloud geo-referencing

    Creator:
    Williams, Keith E.
    Abstract:
    Three-dimensional laser scanning has revolutionized spatial data acquisition and can be completed from a variety of platforms including airborne (ALS), mobile (MLS), and static terrestrial (TLS) laser scanning. MLS is a rapidly evolving technology that provides increases in efficiency and safety over static TLS, while still providing similar levels of...

  • Modeling estuary pollution by computer simulation

    Creator:
    Grenney, William J.
    Abstract:
    A digital computer model was developed to simulate the time and space distribution of a dissolved pollutant in an estuary. The program is basically a one-dimensional finite-difference model, but two dimensions can be represented by attaching together several one-dimensional channels. The influence of convection, dispersion and decay are included in...

  • Simulation of coastal processes in a circular wave basin

    Creator:
    Katzev, David H.
    Abstract:
    The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral wavemaker in a circular wave basin. These were longshore currents, shear waves, and groin circulation. A beach...

  • System design for Dungeness crab processing

    Creator:
    Adams, Burton Warren
    Abstract:
    Dungeness crab is an important fishery on the Pacific Coast. The processing subsystem of the fishery is hampered by a variety of problems that have acted to impede technological innovations that could improve efficiency and sanitation in seafood plants. This paper provides background for problems encountered by the processors, discusses...

  • The measurement of nearshore bathymetry on intermediate and dissipative beaches

    Creator:
    Côté, Jessica Magee
    Abstract:
    In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...

  • Numerical and physical modeling of wave forces on A-Jacks units

    Creator:
    Wise, Larry
    Abstract:
    A numerical model is developed to estimate wave forces on A-Jacks armor units. The forces include drag, inertia, buoyancy, and slamming as the unit penetrates the free surface. The wave force model is used to determine the rigid body motions of the units. Bulk forces on a matrix of units...
