    • Bearing capacity of driven piles in sand 
      Castello, Reno Reine (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      A thorough review of the literature regarding bearing capacity theories and experimental studies for piles driven in sand has been made. Experimental studies indicate that the theories currently used to predict pile bearing ...
    • Erosion of dredged material islands due to waves and currents 
      Vyas, Yogesh Kanaiyalal (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)
      The purpose of the research reported here was to develop empirical capability of predicting the erosion rates of cohesionless dredged material islands for wave and wind environment similar to that of the Upper Laguna Madre, ...
    • Evaluation of the Impact of Texas Lignite Development on Texas Water Resources 
      Mathewson, C. C.; Cason, C. L. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-07)
      Fuel shortages and resultant rising fuel costs as well as federal policies prompting energy independence have served to encourage power companies to exploit available lignite deposits of the western states as a viable fuel ...
    • Impact of Water Resource Development on Coastal Erosion, Brazos River, Texas 
      Mathewson, C. C.; Minter, L. L. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-08)
      Major dam and reservoir development within the Brazos River Basin is correlative with a significant decrease in the suspended sediment load of the river and with increased coastal erosion rates near the delta. A hydrologic ...
    • An investigation of asphalt-rubber binders for use in pavement construction 
      Shuler, Thomas Scott (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)
      Two experimental test roads containing asphalt-rubber interlayers were constructed. Both test pavements were designed as statistical experiments such that future performance analysis could be obtained. Precondition surveys ...
    • Mechanisms of downhill creep in expansive soils 
      Dyke, Lawrence Dana (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)
      A detailed survey of two tracts of houses on sloping terrain underlain by expansible clay-rich soils indicates that expansive soils are especially susceptible to downhill creep. This poses an additional threat on top of ...
    • Structural evaluation of recycled pavement materials 
      Little, Dallas Neville (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      The principles of rational pavement analysis were used in this study together with in-situ non-destructive testing to evaluate the structural performance of recycled pavement materials under load. An extensive literature ...
