Providing the Profession with Design Programs
The philosophy and methodology of writing, releasing, and supporting software for the design of steel structures in Canada are presented. The development of programs to fit within a structural...
Corner Restoration in Missouri
The Office of the State Land Surveyor in Missouri is actively engaged in a program of remonumenting the section and quarter section corners in the State of Missouri. One phase of this...
Macroapproach for Ribbed and Grid Plate Systems
Macroflexibility approach is employed to obtain generalized displacements and forces of ribbed and grid plate systems. It is based on writing the compatibility for deflection between the...
Using Technology to Solve Environmental Problems
Technology is discussed in relation to environmental quality problems, both from a historical perspective and from current analysis points of view. The way in which technology has become...
Environmental Studies for Rocky Mountain Highway
Preparatory to writing an environmental impact statement, an environmental study of a 14-mile segment of Interstate Highway 70 over Vail Pass in Colorado was completed in 1972. Baseline...
On Writing Descriptions
Inadequacies in property descriptions are illustrated by analyzing a specific case. Two forms are given—one a protraction and the other a true description. Both appear to define a single...
A Numerical Technique For Elastica Problems
A numerical procedure is described for analyzing struts with large displacements by writing three simultaneous, first-order, nonlinear differential equations and using a shooting method...
Descriptions - Debatable or Definitive?
To achieve precise delineation of property, the selection and arrangement of words is crucial. In writing metes-and-bounds descriptions of all sorts of shapes, the studied application...
Computer System for Analysis of Large Frameworks
The writing of efficient methods of solving simultaneous equations which result from a linear structural analysis of large frameworks is discussed. Gaussian elimination is considered,...
Information Retrieval for Soil Engineers
Authors of soil mechanics literature must facilitate the transfer of information to others by using concise titles, writing informative abstracts giving results and conclusions, and providing...
Vibration of Nonuniform Simply-Supported Beams
The natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes for nonuniform simply-supported beams are investigated. The deflections are approximated by a Fourier series and in addition to this...
Perpetuation of Land Survey Data
The items covered in this paper are a historical background of survey types and their records available today (1966). The sectionalized system of land division used in developing the United...
Engineering Education and the Construction Industry: Graduats for Work in Construction
To point out what one civil engineering educator believes should be included in a modernized under-graduate curriculum to particularly benefit construction industry, this paper recommends...
Truss Analysis by Stiffness Considerations
Method of analysis, particularly advantageous for redundant structures, is developed in detail for pin connected truss; method enables deflections, member forces, and reactions to be determined...
Writing Engineering Specifications -- For Quality, Not Price
One of the major engineering problems in public works is specification writing. Too often stress is placed on price than on quality. There is a definite tendency to improve specifications...
