  • Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

    Creator:
    Wilson, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • The Fundamental Behavior of Timber-Concrete Composite Floors in Fire

    Creator:
    Shephard, Annabel B.
    Abstract:
    Timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors have improved strength and stiffness when compared to timber-only floors, allowing for longer spans in buildings and improved life safety. However, North America does not have codes and standards that recognize TCC floors, particularly the improved life safety performance of these floors in fire. Therefore, alternate...

  • The present status of plastics as an engineering material

    Creator:
    Summersett, John Steve
    Abstract:
    The present status of plastics is one of constant change, but this thesis attempts to focus attention on the state of the industry as of 1967. Beginning with a brief title definition and history of plastics, the writer proceeds to a discussion on the structural characteristics of plastics. Under this...

  • Time-dependent deflection of Douglas fir beams in bending and shear modes

    Creator:
    Capell, Harry Thomas
    Abstract:
    Creep in wood has been observed since 1833 but only recently has it been studied quantitatively. The aim of this paper is to study the time-dependent deflections of Douglas fir, Coast Region beams in bending and shear modes. The general method of approach used is that of large scale observation....

  • A treatise on structures without bending

    Creator:
    Taleb-Agha, Ghiath Abdul-Kareem
    Abstract:
    There are several factors which affect the cost and efficiency of a structure. The most important and basic factors are: the predominant stress, the way the structure carries the loads and the shape of the structure. The structures in which the predominant stress is not bending have been chosen to...

  • The computer, the computer user group, and the civil engineer

    Creator:
    Cunningham, Gerald Robert
    Abstract:
    An attempt to determine the relationship between the computer, the computer program exchange organization and today's practicing civil engineer has just been completed. A questionnaire was used to obtain information and opinions from 850 selected practicing civil engineers. Based on those questionnaires reaching their addresses, a return rate of 81.7...

  • Framework for Measuring Construction Project Performance using Energy

    Creator:
    Nnaji, Chukwuma A.
    Abstract:
    Over the years, the performance of construction projects has been a main source of concern given the percentage of a project cost associated with poor project performance. As a result of the growing clamor to improve the output of the built industry, comprehensive studies have been conducted to examine the...

  • Numerical method for calculating construction pore pressures in embankments

    Creator:
    Steward, John Erwin
    Abstract:
    A computer program was developed for estimating construction pore pressures in embankments without drainage at any location in the embankment at any time during construction. This program incorporated a modification of the Hilf-Brantz method of pore pressure calculation and a finite element method of stress computation. Previous methods of calculating...

  • Hydrodynamic forces on a horizontal cylinder under waves and current

    Creator:
    Teng, Chung-chu
    Abstract:
    By assuming the linear superposition principle to be valid, the hydrodynamic forces on a horizontal cylinder under waves and current are examined. In this study, towing a cylinder in waves is used to simulate a cylinder under waves and current. The experimental technique is proved valid through theoretical considerations and...
