Abstract: This paper records observed features of cavitation arising in an oscillatory oil squeeze film. In the experimental apparatus, two nondeformable surfaces contained the oil film. The square upper ...

Abstract: Temperature effects on rigid pavements have been shown to be significant fatigue contributors in combination with stresses produced by load, particularly at slab corners. A construction method for rigid pavement utilizing ...

Abstract: A construction method for rigid pavement utilizing waste plastic for forms to create cells is analyzed for stress resulting from application of a standard highway equivalent single axle load (ESAL). The finite-element ...

Abstract: The effect of lead on the corrosivity and friability of slags containing various ratios of sodium, vanadium, magnesium, and silicon has been evaluated. The application of the linear polarization ...

Abstract: Corrosion rate and slag friability data on several systems containing Na2 SO4 , V2 O5 , PbO, MgSO4 , and SiO2 have been examined with a stepwise regression correlation procedure. Correlations ...

Abstract: Aluminum, alone and in several combinations with magnesium and silicon, has been evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor and slag modifier for heavy fuel ash. Stepwise linear regression analyses were ...

Abstract: Manholes are designed to provide access points to underground sewer networks for inspection and maintenance. Manhole collapses, although rare, can result in severe consequences and have a significant effect on the performance ...

Abstract: The corrosion rates of Udimet™ 500 in a variety of sodium sulfate-silica-vanadium pentoxide and sodium sulfate-magnesium sulfate-silica-vanadium pentoxide slag compositions were measured electrochemically ...
