  • Irregular points in wavemaker boundary value problem

    Creator:
    Tanaka, Yoshihiro
    Abstract:
    A global solution is presented that accurately accounts for the singular behavior at all irregular points. The linearized boundary value problem in a semi-infinite strip in the physical plane is transformed into a smooth unit disk by two successive conformal mappings. The global solution results from a Fredholm integral equation...

  • Evaluation of alternate surfacing systems for temporary and intermittent use roads

    Creator:
    Takallou, Mojtaba B.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to provide the USDA-Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and other agencies or industries that may deal with temporary and intermittent use roads with the necessary background information for the identification, economic evaluation, and selection of the alternate surfacing systems and to determine...

  • The performance of drivers with physical limitations at T-intersections

    Creator:
    Hunter-Zaworski, Katharine M.
    Abstract:
    The research examines the effect of restricted head and neck movement on driving performance as measured by decision time at T-intersections. The traffic safety and human factors literature was reviewed, and very little was found concerning drivers with physical limitations. T-intersections were selected for study because most accidents involving drivers...

  • Hydraulic influences on pool morphology : a laboratory investigation

    Creator:
    Frizenschaf, Jacqueline
    Abstract:
    A flume study was conducted to investigate the influences of changing hydraulic conditions on the bed morphology of a scoured pool. During a simulated storm runoff event, responses of the pool were tested under different conditions: clearwater flow, sediment supply at steady rates, and two different sediment mixtures of the...

  • Determination of structural layer properties of aggregate and asphalt surfaced roads

    Creator:
    Rwebangira, T.
    Abstract:
    This study involved the determination of the structural layer properties of aggregate and asphalt surfaced pavements for use in the evaluation of pavement load carrying capacity and the seasonal effects of moisture. This was achieved by the use of Nondestructive Testing Methods (NDT) and backcalculation techniques. Pavement surface deflection measurements...

  • A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

    Creator:
    Lee, Chyuan-shen
    Abstract:
    A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

  • The effect of mixing moisture, oxidative aging and tire pressures on the performance of asphalt mixes

    Creator:
    Kim, Ok-kee
    Abstract:
    The research undertaken consisted of the study of three topics affecting the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures, that is, mixing moisture, oxidative aging and higher tire pressures and axle loads. This thesis presents the findings of the research comprising these three topics. In the first study, the effects of mixing...

  • Evaluation of mix ingredients on the performance of rubber-modified asphalt mixtures

    Creator:
    Takallou, Hossein B.
    Abstract:
    Rubber-modified asphalt pavements have been used in Sweden and the United States since the 1970's. In these applications ground recycled tire particles (0.25 inch minus) are added to a gap-graded aggregate and then mixed with hot asphalt cement. The benefits of adding rubber to the mix include increased skid resistance...
