A procedure is developed for analysis of two-way floor slabs subjected to different concentrated load patterns and continuous over many supports. Partitioning methods are presented which are simple and direct in application. A particular two-way slab structure planned by the Texas Highway Department was chosen for demonstration of results obtained

It is obvious that many variables may influence the quality of a surface treatment, but the relative importance of the many variables involved is a matter of conjecture. The purpose of this study was to define those variables which do significantly influence the quality of surface treatments in Virginia and to determine the acceptable limits for th

Ten model tests of drilled shaft footings subjected to dynamic overturning loads were performed. Compared to the average size footing used for minor service structures in Texas, the model footings were reduced by a factor of six. The footing reactions were investigated in a cohesionless sand, a laboratory sandy clay, and a laboratory clayey sand. T
