Investigation of the development of ultrahigh-strength Portland cement concrete (UHSC) consolidated by statically applied high confining stress systems
(1988)
Large size (12-in. cubes) specimens of ultrahigh-strength portland-cement concrete and mortar were successfully produced by using a high-pressure confining mold (12-million-pound total load capacity) designed, developed, ...
The effect of transverse shear strain on laminated curved beams
(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 ...
A systems approach to design of an offshore oil storage reservoir
(1970)
Exploration in the oceans of the world has indicated the presence of large quantities of oil, and the need for the oil has been established. One of the most difficult road blocks in the application of deep water drilling ...
Elastic analysis of thick-walled, filament-wound cylinders under combined pressure and longitudinal loads
(1969)
Fiber-reinforced composite materials are utilized in many products in industry today, especially the plastics industry, and have great potential for future use. On recent development in reinforcement methods is the use of ...
A study of the physico-chemical, mineralogical and engineering properties of fine-grained soil in relation to their expansive characteristics
(1969)
The soils engineer, unlike the structural engineer who works with steel or other elastic homogeneous materials, is faced with the problem of predicting the behavior of a material that has many complex properties. Soils are ...
Self burial of offshore pipelines in fine grained cohesive sediment
(1977)
Pipelines laid in soft cohesive sediments may attain burial because of their own weight. Shear strength of the sediment, pipe diameter, specific gravity of the pipe and the submerged unit weight of the sediment are the ...
Effects of variable force coefficients Cd and Cm on the dynamic response of a Tension-Leg Platform
(1985)
The Morison hydrodynamic force prediction equation is commonly used to compute the wave forces on offshore structures composed of "small members". The computations are carried out assuming that the force coefficients, C[d] ...
An investigation of asphalt-rubber binders for use in pavement construction
(1985)
Two experimental test roads containing asphalt-rubber interlayers were constructed. Both test pavements were designed as statistical experiments such that future performance analysis could be obtained. Precondition surveys ...
Thermal susceptibility : a new environmental deterioration mechanism for pavements
(1976)
Transverse cracking is a form of environmental deterioration that accounts for the expenditure of some twenty million dollars a year in maintenance in west Texas alone. This form of deterioration has not been predictable ...
