Lateral load capacity of drilled shafts in jointed rock
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Large vertical (axial) and lateral loads often act on the heads of drilled shafts in jointed rock. In current design practice, the p-y curve method used in design of laterally loaded drilled shafts in soil is adopted in ...
Incremental airline schedule design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
We consider the problem of integrating flight schedule design and fleet assignment decisions at airlines. The flight schedule design problem involves selecting and scheduling the set of flight legs that an airline will ...
Simulation of the U.S. Great Plains low-level jet using spatially-coupled mixed layer models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Review of engineering education and some technical and non-technical expectations of a new entry level structural engineer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Trends in passenger demand and airline supply of top 25 long-haul U.S. dometic [sic] markets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The thesis examines the effect of deregulation on passenger demand and airline supply of the top 25 long-haul U.S. domestic markets by measuring the annual and overall percentage changes in passenger traffic, airfare, ...
Dynamic analysis of Calatrava's la Devesa footbridge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This thesis attempts to describe the static and dynamic behaviors of the leaning arch bridge system. In doing so, the finite element method is employed intensively through the use of ADINA. The FEM model is an attempted ...
System dynamic models for construction projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This thesis studies the application of system dynamics principles and models to construction project negotiations and schedule. It helps improve the efficiency of the negotiation processes and allows planners to realize ...
Ultrasonic phased arrays of the condition assessment of concrete structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Variation reduction in a continuous web process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Least-cost ground holding strategies with departure and arrival delay uncertainties
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Ground Holding Programs (GDP) were introduced in the early eighties to lower the air traffic controllers' workload when airports are congested and aircraft have o wait in the air before they can land. The underlying idea ...
