The effects of rainfall intensity, pavement cross slope, and surface texture on water depths and resultant friction properties of various pavements
(1971)
Reported in Phase I of this research is a study concerned with determining the amount of water which can be expected to exist on various pavement types under normal ranges of pavement cross slopes, rainfall intensities, ...
Dynamic response of offshore piling
(1970)
A mathematical model which describes the dynamic response of a laterally loaded offshore pile was developed in this research. Interaction effects between the pile and its water environment were considered in formulating ...
A beam-column method for tieback walls
(1994)
A beam-column method for tieback walls or anchored walls was developed and tested. An instrumented full scale tieback wall in sand was constructed at the National Geotechnical Experimentation Site located on the Texas A&M ...
The effect of porosity on shearing resistance and thermal conductivity for amorphous soils in vacuum
(1967)
In support of the ensuing requirements for basic knowledge of the engineering properties of lunar surface materials, a study was made of the relationship between thermal conductivity, porosity, and shearing strength for ...
A finite element method for the performance analysis of flexible pavements
(1988)
The purpose of this study is to present a computer program, named FEPASS, to predict the performance of asphaltic concrete pavements. Methods have been developed that predict the rutting, the fatigue cracking, and the slope ...
The effects of a steady nonuniform current on the characteristics of surface gravity waves
(1974)
When surface gravity waves propagate from a region of still water into a region of streaming water, changes occur in their characteristics. These wave characteristics have a direct implication regarding such physical ...
A distributed dynamic watershed model
(1986)
A distributed watershed model was developed to mathematically simulate routing overland and channel flow for a single-event storm. The watersheds used in the study were subdivided into rectangular grid elements. All ...
The effect of traffic induced movement on fresh concrete in widened or replaced bridge decks
(1981)
Bridge traffic in lanes adjacent to a deck that is being widened or replaced causes movements in the fresh concrete deck. A study of the effects of these movements in concrete decks is reported here. An experimental ...
