VIBRATION OF STEEL JOIST-CONCRETE SLAB FLOOR SYSTEMS
(University of Kansas Center for Research in Engineering Science, 1962-08)Increased usage of lighter types of construction in floors in recent years for economy purposes has resulted in occasional floors with insufficient stiffness to prevent noticeable vibration induced by human impact. This ... -
EFFECT OF THE VARIATION OF STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS ON THE VIBRATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STEEL JOIST CONCRETE SLAB FLOOR SYSTEMS AND SUGGESTED DESIGNS
(University of Kansas Center for Research in Engineering Science, 1968-08)The overall objective of these investigations is, of course, to provide sufficient information to allow the design of better (less annoying) floor systems and to allow the elimination of annoying vibrations in present floor ... -
Urbanization as a limiter and catalyst of watershed-scale sediment transport: Insights from probabilistic connectivity modeling
(Elsevier, 2023-10-10)The conversion of rural lands to urban areas exerts considerable influence on the hydrologic processes governing sediment transport at the watershed scale. While the effects of urbanization on hydrology have been well-studied, ... -
An index for inferring dominant transport pathways of solutes and sediment: Assessing land use impacts with high-frequency conductivity and turbidity sensor data
(Elsevier, 2023-10-10)Land use change threatens aquatic ecosystems through freshwater salinization and sediment pollution. Effective river management requires an understanding of the dominant hydrologic pathways of sediment and solute delivery. ... -
