  • Comparison of Vermont and Oregon statutory land surveyor laws

    Creator:
    Norton, Robert Leon
    Abstract:
    Land use planning, zoning, and subdivisions are integrally tied to the land resource. The need for a land surveyor and for statutes which govern his operation when working in these areas is stressed. A brief history of Vermont and Oregon, illustrating the role of land surveys on settlement, is given....

  • Least squares adjustment computer programs for horizontal and vertical positions

    Creator:
    Shrestha, Ramesh Lal
    Abstract:
    The application of the least squares adjustment techniques to the area of surveying has been considered and two computer programs called HCONTRL and VCONTRL are developed for horizontal and vertical control respectively. The principle of least squares is discussed in chapter II. The observation and condition equations are compared and...

  • The static and dynamic analysis of discretely represented moorings and cables by numerical means

    Creator:
    Dominguez, Richard Frank
    Abstract:
    Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...

  • Nonlinear diffraction theory by an eigenfunction expansion of the Green's function

    Creator:
    Chen, Min-Chu
    Abstract:
    A second-order nonlinear diffraction theory is developed for a large diameter circular cylinder under the action of surface gravity waves of finite amplitude in water of-finite depth. Boundary value problems are derived by using a perturbation expansion and the solutions for the diffracted waves are given in terms of Fredholm...

  • A procedure to identify and evaluate forest arterial and collector road networks

    Creator:
    Kehr, Richard H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a procedure to identify and evaluate forest arterial and collector networks. The procedure identifies those decision criteria important in evaluating both the arterial and collector networks and the specific facilities identified on these networks. The procedure incorporates the decision criteria and results from network and facility analysis...

  • Dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces

    Creator:
    Grecco, Michael G.
    Abstract:
    The dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces is investigated. The theoretical nondeterministic analysis is performed in the frequency domain for a two-dimensional model. The ocean wave system is assumed to be a zero mean, stationary, ergodic Gaussian process described by a one-dimensional wave...

  • Sand waves in a pristine estuary

    Creator:
    Baliga, B. R. (B. Ravindranath)
    Abstract:
    The stochastic and the Fourier theories for sand waves developed by Lee(11) and Hino(6), respectively, for unidirectional flows are extended in order to estimate the rate of sediment turnover (RST) under oscillatory flows in the South Slough estuary, Coos Bay, Oregon. Data were collected by a mechanical and a sonic...

  • Transport and adsorption of proteinanceous particles during flow through porous media

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Tokuo
    Abstract:
    This is a fundamental study of the mechanism of protein particle removal during flow through sandy soil. Mathematical models for diffusion-adsorption and diffusion-convection-adsorption processes were developed and compared with experimental data. An attempt was made to calculate the distance over which the adsorption forces act. The differential equation for the...

  • The evaluation and selection of highway safety improvements for local jurisdictions

    Creator:
    Haq, Asif Jinnah
    Abstract:
    Many hazardous locations exist on our local and street highway systems. Such hazards contribute to the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. The elimination and mitigation of the hazards reduces accident frequency and severity, as measured by the number of fatalities, injuries and property damage resulting from the accidents. The...

  • Development of a priority rating system for highway safety improvements

    Creator:
    Iranitalab, Farhad
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the procedure adopted to develop the priority rating system for highway safety improvements. Safety hazards are classified into four categories: (1) Railroad crossings, (2) Intersections, (3) Geometric-Related Hazards, and (4) Roadside Hazards. For each category of hazards, relationships are developed to obtain a hazard index and expected...
