This report describes research activities in the Oregon State University School of Engineering during the school year 1960-61. Projects are listed according to the department wherein the work is conducted. Advanced degrees in engineering, which were conferred at the June 1961 Commencement, are listed in a separate section along with...
A mathematical model is developed for the analysis of circular
cell bulkheads subjected to gravity loads of cell fill, backfill, lateral
pressure, and surcharge load using the finite element method. The
finite element circular cell model consists of axisymmetric triangular
and/or quadrilateral ring elements for soil and cylindrical shell elements...
