(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The removal of phenols and endrin from a hazardous waste landfill leachate with a mixed background of unknown organics and inorganics by adsorption onto activated carbon was investigated. Leachate was passed through a fixed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The increased industrial waste discharge into receiving waters dictates a need for further exploration into the effects of this discharge on the aquatic environment. Very little information is available concerning the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)Recent interest in earth penetration has been stimulated by both military and civilian applications. Experimental programs in this area have advanced more than theoretical developments but neither analytical nor empirical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)To optimize movement in a traffic system, automatic surveillance methods are being used in the development of real-time control systems. Since the freeway has a significant effect on the operation of a traffic system, this ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)The theory of longitudinal impact and the theory of one-dimensional wave propagation have played important roles in recent advances in the fields of rock drilling and rock mechanics. Of special interest to investigators ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)For fracture mechanics theory to be applied toward the design and construction of concrete pavements and structures, in-place testing technology is needed to provide fracture mechanics properties. Two instrumented pullout ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)Drive-in service systems such as drive-in banks, intended to offer an improved level of service to the clientele served, have become a common aspect of essentially all urban areas. Proper traffic design and operation of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This dissertation deals with the general problem of nondestructively detecting, locating, and sizing damage in structures via changes in modal responses of the structures. The objective of this study is to assess the ...
-
An automated vehicle arrival notification system for paratransit customers at Texas A&M University (Texas A&M University, 2000)For paratransit passengers, not knowing when their ride (the paratransit vehicle) will be arriving to pick them up is a major concern. The objectives of this research included designing, implementing, and evaluating a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1965)Investigation was conducted at the Civil Engineering laboratory of the Texas A & M University to observe the flexural behavior of prestressed composite T-beams of lightweight aggregate concrete. Tests were made on twelve ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The objective of this research was measuring bit temperatures with an infrared pyrometer while drilling printed circuit board stacks. Cited research indicated drilling temperatures are related to many plated-through-hole ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The process of designing a typical simply supported girder for service loads is well established. However, the fact that the girder will be suspended by cables during the erection phase affects the safety of the girder. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A laser Doppler velocimeter was used to measure three components of velocity in the body of an 88.9 mm diameter, multiport, reverse flow sampling cyclone with a flat bottom. This velocity data was then nondimensionalized ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This dissertation begins with a review of the bases for creep constitutive equations. Next, physical metallurgical concepts are used to examine the creep process in simple and complex stress histories. Since, there are ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Developers of construction management information systems have experienced as many failures and disappointments as they have successes. These failures and disappointments can be traced to several sources: the technological ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)An in-depth study of factors that affect crack initiation and
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Foreign engineering and construction professionals perceive American expatriates as lacking basic knowledge with regards to their country's language, culture, customs, politics, and corporate structures. The purpose of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)The current rate of deterioration of highway bridges in the United States has created the need for a comprehensive bridge management system (BMS). This need has also been recognized in Texas, necessitating the development ...
