Reliability-based versus allowable stress design of foundations for the Center for Missouri Studies building
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
. The secondary objective is to initiate a 'living' database of geotechnical parameters for the University of Missouri - Columbia Campus, which will be expanded by future graduate students. A geologic history and site investigation results are presented...
Pre-harvest water quality of ephemeral streams in Missouri Ozark forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) developed a best management practice that leaves a riparian buffer next to streams to reduce the possibility of water quality degradation. The purpose of this study is to ...
Calculated versus measured static capacity for two pile types
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The Missouri Department of Transportation decided to replace two bridges in northeast New Madrid Country, Missouri. The bridges were in service for approximately 50 years and both were founded on driven piles. The bridge ...
Geotextile separators for dust suppression on gravel roads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Dust can be a health concern because of its potential to contain respirable particles. The US EPA and state environmental agencies developed and implemented a reporting system for the amount of particulate (PM10) derived ...
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located ...
Field performance of instrumentation for monitoring effects of timber harvesting on water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Water samples from ephemeral streams and associated hillsides are being collected to quantitatively determine the impact of Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) on water quality and sediment and nutrient transport in ...
Determination of the scale of fluctuation of cone penetration test data obtained from an alluvial site in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
To account for uncertainty in geotechnical projects, knowledge of the uncertainties should be understood. Many sources of uncertainties can be reduced with increased sampling and good practices, but due to the nature of ...
Post-construction verification of hydraulic conductivity of soil in an earthen dam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Earthen dams are used throughout the country to hold back flood waters from cities, towns, and farmlands, make reservoirs to supply drinking water, and create lakes for recreational purposes. The hydraulic conductivity of ...
