  • Analysis of radio communication towers subjected to wind, ice and seismic loadings 

    Sullins, Eric James (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    The MoDOT radio communication tower network was created in the 1950s and 1960s. There is a need to assess the condition of the towers in the network and also to determine if they are up to date with current codes. A condition ...

  • Blast retrofit design of CMU walls using polymer sheets 

    Fitzmaurice, Silas James (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    Many materials have been tested for blast retrofit design but have shown to have limitation. The focus of this research is the analysis of polymer sheets as a method for retrofit design. There are many advantages of polymer ...

  • Geotextile separators for dust suppression on gravel roads 

    Freeman, Elisabeth A. (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 ...

  • Pre-harvest water quality of ephemeral streams in Missouri Ozark forests 

    Smith, Abraham J. (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 ...

  • Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand 

    Baltodano-Goulding, Rafael (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
