Creator:: Jones, Walter Richard
Abstract:: The analysis of a member carrying a combination of lateral and axial loads (a "beam-column") is a problem of frequent occurrence in aircraft structural design. This thesis presents the derivation and application of the Polar method, both analytical and graphical. The method was first suggested in Germany, several years later...

Creator:: Saxton, Robert W.
Abstract:: This study investigated the laboratory performance of crumb rubber modified mixtures compared to a standard bituminous mixture using performance based test procedures. This study was part of an asphalt resurfacing program for the Seattle Washington area. Laboratory analyses were used to estimate the long term pavement performance of these mixtures...

Creator:: Hoffman, Andrew J.
Abstract:: Large quantities of unused heavy oil and residual waste products from the petroleum refining industry were deposited in on-site landfills, pits, and lagoons, prior to the promulgation of regulations governing their disposal and technology development that would further utilize and/or recycle these materials. Contacting petroleum products with sulfuric acid for...

Creator:: Kachlakev, Damian I.
Abstract:: The composite FRP rebars research at Oregon State University was initiated in 1993 principally to develop a non-metallic hollow reinforcement. It was recognized that the tensile properties of such reinforcement are unquestionably superior to steel, but its performance in concrete could be problematic. The bond between FRP rebars and concrete...

Creator:: Sujjavanich, Suvimol
Abstract:: Environmental factors and physical properties of latex modified concrete (LMC) are hypothesized to contribute to early age cracking in bridge deck overlays. Cracking permits the ingress of moisture and aggressive solutions into the substrate and may contribute to other subsequent distresses. Understanding the material properties and mechanisms involved is necessary...

Creator:: Sandoval-Gil, Jesus A.
Abstract:: The Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) device was used to characterize the impact of various mix factors on the development of permanent deformation in dense-graded mixes given a standard compactive effort. Factors included two aggregate sizes, three VMA levels, two fines contents, three binder contents and four binder types. All specimens...
