A Comparison of Predicted Brace Loads in Temporary Retaining Structures and Observed Brace Loads in Two Full Scale Test SectionsHaggerty, Daniel 19 December 2003 (has links)
This thesis presents analyses of the results of a geotechnical instrumentation program performed by Eustis Engineering Company for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during the construction of two covered canals in New Orleans, Louisiana. At each site, a cast-in-place concrete culvert was constructed within a sheeted and braced excavation. Information provided by Eustis Engineering Company to the USACE is presented describing the existing soil conditions, the construction schedule, the geotechnical testing apparatus and instrumentation, and the data produced from the geotechnical instrumentation program. In this thesis, several theoretical approaches available for estimating the strut loads in braced excavations were examined and used to predict the strut loads at the two construction sites. These theoretical approaches included Coulomb pressures diagrams, Terzaghi pressure diagrams, and soil-structure interaction. The results of the theoretical strut load prediction methods are presented and compared with the results of the geotechnical instrumentation program data.

Late antique residences at Stobi, YugoslaviaHemans, Frederick P. January 1986 (has links)
Thesis (Ph. D.)—-Boston University. / This dissertation is a study of the Late Antique residential architecture (from the 4th through 6th centuries, after Christ)
excavated at Stobi, the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia
Secunda. The archaeological remains of the residences are documented on
detai I, with photographs, drawings, and descriptions. Reconstructions
and an analysis of the bui !dings' functions are also offered. Within a
chronological framework, changes in residential design are distinguished
and contrasted, leading to the identification of characteristics that
define the residential architecture at Stobi. These characteristics are
then related to developments in a broader context in an attempt to
define what is unique about Late Antique residences.

A critical study of the archaeology of the Jawf region of Saudi Arabia with additional material on its history and early Arabic epigraphyAl-Muaikel, Khaleel Ibrahim January 1988 (has links)
This thesis concentrates on the study of the archaeology of the Jawf region, including excavations in various sites, and also a comprehensive survey of the sites and monuments throughout the region. The thesis is divided into nine chapters.Chapter I deals with the history of the Jawf during the pre-Islamic periods. In the first part of this chapter, the Assyrian campaigns against Dumat al-Jandal are studied. The rest of the chapter is devoted to the history of the region during the Babylonian, Nabataean and the Roman and Byzantine periods. Chapter II focuses on the history of the area during the early Islamic period and the conquest of Dumat al-Jandal by Khalid b. al-Walid during the caliphate of Abu Bakr. Chapter III is dedicated to the study of the various accounts of Dumat al-Jandal by the early Arab geographers. Chapter IV deals with the trade routes which passed through the Jawf and the implication of the caravan trade on the history of the region. Chapter V investigates the pre-history of the Jawf region and examines the unique site of al-Rajajil to the south of Sakaka. Chapter VI is devoted to the study of the excavations results in the sites of al-Tuwayr, Dumat al-Jandal and the Muwaysin castle.The arch aeological materials which have been discovered were compared with similar materials from various sites in Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Eastern Arabia. Chapter VII concentrates on the architecture within the Jawf region and gives a full description of the various monuments and the different building techniques and materials used. Chapter VIII focuses on the study of the early Arabic inscriptions which are found in the region. We discuss their palaeography, historical importance and their parallel with some of the published materials from various parts of the Islamic world. Chapter IX is a study of the pottery from various sites in the Jawf. The first part of this chapter discusses the ware types and vessel types of the pottery from the Tuwayr and Dumat al-Jandal sites, while the second part is a pottery catalogue. In addition, this thesis also contains three appendices: the first is an examination of the well of Saysarȁ at Sakākā; the second investigates the walled enclosure of Dumat al-Jandal; and the third is a glossary of Arabic terms associated with the architecture.
