A study is reported herein of the performance of either an abrupt rise or a partial transverse sill as a part of a culvert energy dissipation scheme in which flow parallel to the culvert axis is transformed into supercritical radial flow. Energy dissipation is accomplished by means of a hydraulic jump which was formed as a result of the combined ef

The health and safety of more than 80,000,000 aircraft passengers, approximately 500,000 active civilian pilots and other civilian aviation personnel is the concern of the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Aviation Medicine.
The broad objective of this project is to fully develop the use of the computer solution of the wave equation so that it may be used to predict driving stresses in piling and to estimate static load bearing capacity of piling from driving resistance records. This report should be considered as a supplement of Research Report Number 33-7. As stated

As a consequence of the high speeds of modern aircraft, pilots must respond quickly to signal lights from the ground or other aircraft during night flight. The present study was concerned with the relation of reaction time to flash luminance and duration. Reaction time was a decreasing, negatively accelerated function of flash luminance. Flash dura

A model study was performed on a new type of energy dissipator for culvert flow. In this structure, the culvert flow drops along a steep chute, which ends at its intersection with the horizontal bottom of the stilling basin. As the flow impinges on the horizontal bottom, it is caused to spread rapidly, thus avoiding separation from the flared wingw

A procedure, using the rate-of-creep method, is developed for predicting creep strains, camber, and prestress loss in pretensioned prestressed concrete highway bridge beams. The procedure uses shrinkage data and creep per psi data, both expressed as functions of time, developed from small concrete specimens. Non-loaded pretensioned prestressed ligh

An analysis of 1964 aircraft accidents, using type of airman certificate as a measure of pilot proficiency, is presented. Data show that student pilots generally have a better accident record than any other of the certification groups. Analysis confirmed that, as light and weather conditions deteriorated, accident rates increased. Also, as the high

During 1965 there were 450,494 certificated general aviation pilots in the United States, of which 9,826 were over sixty years old. Within this group there were 108 accidents, 17 of which were fatal. Statistical analysis (chi square) revealed that these older pilots were essentially as safe as their younger colleagues. Analyses of accidents by airm

Growth of microorganisms in water-contaminated, kerosene-type fuels is a widespread problem in aviation. One approach to the solution of this problem is the introduction into fuel of a chemical additive which could stop or retard growth of microbes.
