(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1962)A study was made of the influence of the adsorbed water films on the engineering index properties of clay materials. A review is presented of the available information and knowledge, which was gained from a study pf the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The stiffness matrix of a general planar six degrees of freedom curved beam element was derived utilizing Castigliano's second theorem. The theorem was also employed in the derivation of the equivalent loads due to uniformly ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Both highway and railroad organizations are concerned with the maintenance problems of highway-railroad grade crossings. The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation alone spends approximately one-half ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)Present highway design concepts for multilane facilities have resulted in the placement of large signs near the edge of the traffic lane. Collisions with the supports of these signs have resulted in a number of fatalities. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1962)A laboratory study was performed for the evaluation of an apparatus constructed to investigate the behavior of asphaltic concrete specimens subjected to repeated flexural deformations. The apparatus, called a deflectometer, ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Current retaining wall design procedures are summarized with emphasis on the prediction of lateral earth pressures using the Coulomb and Rankine earth pressure theories, and the equivalent fluid pressure method. Results ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1961)As any topic in capital theory, the Ricardo Effect has remained controversial and misunderstood. The object of this thesis is a clear exposition and concise criticism of the Ricardo Effect. The scope of the thesis is limited ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)A new approach to the characterization of pavement mixtures' toughness based on the J integral concept was developed. The fracture mechanics approach was used to compare fatigue and fracture characteristics of new plasticized ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Water resources development in Texas is primarily of two types, channelization and surface impoundments. Effects of these types of projects are discussed in terms of environmental effects in Texas. With this background, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)An approximate elastic analysis of a uniformly loaded reinforced concrete floor system is presented. The approach used is to replace the slab with an equivalent orthogonal grid of elastic beams possessing torsional and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)This study was made to develop a criterion for predicting creep in prestressed lightweight-aggregate concrete beams and to investigate the influence of magnitude of prestress on creep in lightweight-aggregate concrete. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)This investigation consisted of a laboratory study designed to predict the effect on the performance of flexible airfield pavements of reducing current density criteria for compacted subgrade soils. Laboratory prepared ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)The engineering behavior of soils and aggregates is a function of their basic properties and the environment to which they are subjected. In pavement design the effect of repeated loading is in important environmental ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Activity networks have been widely used in the planning, management, and control of building construction projects since their introduction in the 1950s. As the popularity of activity networking procedures has grown, so ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)A computer analysis of the soil-structure interaction occurring between stiffened slabs-on-ground and expansive and compressible soils was used to determine design equations for predicting the magnitude of bending moment, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)The current status of regulatory efforts for the bulk carriage of oil and hazardous materials is reviewed. The hazard posed to water resources is examined using the method of risk analysis. A weakness of the present ...
