    Modeling, analysis, and comparative study of several seismic passive protective systems for structures 

    Wan, Yaming (1997)
    This thesis is concerned with passive control systems for seismic protection of building structures, with special emphasis on elastomeric bearings, viscous dampers and tuned mass dampers. Both mathematical modeling and ...

    Integration of a surcharged pipe model and an overland flow model for flood prediction in a highly urbanized area 

    Piepho, Stephanie Smith (1999)
    Two models were incorporated to evaluate the hydrologic and hydraulic behavior of the Harris Gully watershed in Houston, Texas. A HEC-1 model was created and calibrated to three historical storms for average errors of 6% ...

    Developing an introductory civil engineering course 

    Spieler, Christof Torsten (1999)
    A new course designed to introduce freshmen to civil engineering and to give non-engineers a taste of engineering was developed and taught. The course is divided into four sections (demand, design, construction, and effects) ...

    Characterization of alumina membranes derived from alumoxanes 

    Bailey, Diane Amy (1999)
    Alumoxane-derived membranes are characterized and compared with commercial anodized alumina and polycarbonate track-etched membranes. The alumoxane-derived membranes were produced using two different types of ligands, ...

    Vibrations of rectangular plates 

    Ballal, Bhalchandra Y (1966)
    In this thesis, numerical data is presented for the natural frequencies of vibrations of rectangular plates of uniform thickness having all possible combinations of simply supported, fixed and free edges. A vide range of ...

    Numerical analysis of plates of variable thickness 

    Albafull, Jaime Sabater (1966)
    The accuracy of five finite difference methods when applied to the analysis of plates of variable thickness is 'studied in this thesis. The plates are rectangular with two opposite edges simply supported. The thickness ...

    Simply supported steel I-beams prestressed with horizontal restrained tendons 

    Abbott, Phillip Andrew (1963)
    This study is concerned with the prestressing of rolled sections by means of a tendon which at various points throughout its length is restrained from moving relative to the cross section but is free to move through the ...

    Dynamic response of force-excited systems 

    Ghosh, Rupak (1999)
    The elastic and inelastic responses of the force-excited single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems are investigated from the gross characteristics of forcing functions such as the frequency content, the integrals and the ...

    Soil-structure interaction effects of simple structures supported on rectangular foundations 

    Wu, Wen-Hwa (1992)
    This thesis deals with the effects of soil-structure interaction, both kinematic and inertial, on the responses of seismically excited rectangular foundations and simple structures supported on such foundations. The ground ...

    Settling characteristics of fractal aggregates 

    Simmons, Shawn Emerson (1999)
    The settling velocity of aggregates found in engineered water and wastewater treatment facilities are usually assumed to follow Stokes' law. These particles, however, are typically porous and may be fractal in nature. As ...
