Analytical and experimental evaluation of steel sheets for blast retrofit design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Blast resistant design has come to the forefront of engineering concerns in the wake of recent terrorist threats to the United States. The focus of ... -
Arsenic adsorption onto iron-chitosan composite from drinking water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)To develop an inexpensive adsorbent, suitable for arsenic removal from drinking water, iron-chitosan based sorbents were selected. Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, a polysaccharide and is available commercially ... -
Blast resistant forced entrty [sic] steel stud wall design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Due to the threat of terrorist attacks, a series of tests has been conducted, on different forced entry wall configurations, to determine the static ... -
Development and implementation of an underwater system for interface wave measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Measuring shear wave velocity profiles has become integral to geotechnical site investigation both on land and offshore. Obtaining accurate near-surface profiles in soft marine sediments can be expensive and time consuming ... -
Function-based condition indexing for guyed communication towers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Construction of the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) two-way radio network was initiated in the 1950's and was motivated primarily by the ... -
Numerical investigation of load transfer mechanisms in slopes reinforced with piles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)The objective of the work is to use numerical analyses to evaluate the limit soil pressure on piles, to evaluate the load transfer mechanism, and to evaluate alternative means for estimating mobilized and limit loads on ...
