(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)This dissertation involves the mathematical modeling of the operation of a freeway entrance ramp merging control system. A renewal process was utilized to develop expressions for the statistical moments of the time a vehicle ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )This dissertation considers the mathematical modeling and implementation of a multilevel freeway control system together with a consideration of some operational alternatives and associated consequences of real-time freeway ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)A study was made of the influence of underream diameter, depth of underream and angle of pull on the ultimate capacity of drilled and underreamed footings subjected to uplift. Discussion of present methods of design ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)This study utilizes the results of full-scale field and prototype laboratory testing to develop methodology for the prediction of deterioration and assessment of the reliability of pavements. Deterministic equations are ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)In 1920, one-half of all Americans lived in the cities. It is expected that four out of five will live and work in the city by 1990. During the early 1900's, transit predominantly served the city's residents, however, fewer ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)In order to investigate limitations in a mechanism for biological oxidation of colloids, an experimental scheme was derived. The system employs the use of (1) cell disruption by high frequency sound to facilitate hydrolysis ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Expansive clays are the major cause of differential movements in shallow foundations. In highway pavements they are responsible for cyclic distortion of the riding surface resulting in a loss of road handling ability and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1971)This research is addressed to the development of a technique for estimating air passenger travel demands. Techniques previously used for estimating air passenger travel demands are applicable for planning at the national ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)Because of the increasing need for high quality aggregates of construction, a renewed emphasis has been placed upon the use of synthetic aggregates, which are thermally processed clays, shales and slates. As with most ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)An in-depth study of factors and causes of faulting distress are presented. The results of a laboratory and a finite element investigation explain the behavior of joints in jointed concrete pavement systems in terms of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)This dissertation documents the development of optimization models for the control of signalized intersections during oversaturated traffic conditions. A dynamic optimization model was developed as the principal product ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
The effect of porosity on shearing resistance and thermal conductivity for amorphous soils in vacuum (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)A theory is developed to take in to account the effects of transverse shear strain on the shear stress and circumferential normal stress distributions in homogeneous isotropic or nonhomogeneous laminated curved beams. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This study was performed in conjunction with a Federal Emergency Management Agency program to plan, design, and construct keyworker blast shelters. The keyworker shelters are box-type structures in which damage is much ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)In order to improve the current design and construction guidelines for a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) that is maintenance free for at least 20 years, an extensive literature review and laboratory ...
