"In recent years interest in lightweight concrete has become widespread, not only on account of its light weight, which is desirable in floor slabs, walls and partitions, but also because of its high thermal and sound ...

"In the vicinity of the shear connectors, the slab of a composite beam is subjected to a severe combination of longitudinal shear and transverse bending moment. Existing design methods for the design of the transverse ...

"An experimental study of an electric arc in crossed convective and magnetic fields has been made. An electric arc was established across a rectangular test section through which argon gas was flowing at approximately ...

of polarized specimens, can be represented best by a Fourier series. It was found that direct voltage and even harmonic components are present in the unsymmetrical loops. The per-cent second harmonic and the electromechanical coupling coefficient both rise...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Peat swamp forest is one of the most important ecosystems in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia. Tropical peat swamp forests contain a high number of valuable timber...

"The effect of reduction of shank cross-sectional area on the tensile impact strength of 5/16, 3/8, and 7/16-in. steel bolts was investigated experimentally. Low-carbon 3/8-in. bolts with rolled threads absorbed maximum ...

system which would meet the rugged demands of field service condition and yet provide reasonable accuracy. University of Missouri research personnel supervised the installation of all instrumentation appurtenances in the various elements of the structure...

Lake Chad Basin (LCB) has experienced drastic changes in land cover and poor water management practices during the last 50 years. The successive droughts in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in a decrease in surface water and ...
