Creep in prestressed lightweight aggregate concrete
(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. ...
An investigation of collisions of automotive vehicles with break-away highway sign supports
(1966)
A series of six full-scale crash tests employing an automobile towed into a collision with one support of a two support highway roadside sign was conducted. Fixed base sign supports were struck in two of the tests, and ...
Deformation characteristics of granular materials subjected to rapid, repetitive loading
(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 ...
Studies of fundamental properties and mechanical behavior of selected synthetic aggregates
(1966)
Synthetic aggregates produced by firing clays and shales are being increasingly used in the construction of concrete and asphalt structures. The anomalistic behavior of this synthetic product requires an extensive study ...
An analytical solution of the impact behavior of sign posts
(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. ...
A continuous three-panel by three-panel building slab analysis
(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 ...
The diagonal tension resistance of structural lightweight concrete slabs
(1966)
Static tests were conducted on twelve structural lightweight concrete slabs to investigate the diagonal tension resistance of these slabs. Eight of these slabs are similar to slabs tested previously by Moe. Four of the ...
Transverse shear deformation in thin shells of revolution
(1966)
The effect of transverse shear deformation on stresses and deflections in thin shells of revolution is investigated by considering several particular types of shells. First and second approximation solutions with and without ...
