The absence of information on the analysis and behaviour of prestressed concrete deep beams led to the undertaking of the present research which was carried out theoretically using the finite element method and experimentally by testing ten moderately deep beams. The parameters studied were the bond property of the prestressing steel, the degree of prestressing and span to depth ratio. Test results are compared with theory and various design recommendations are suggested.Item Open Access Some aspects of torsion in reinforced concrete beams(1969) Woodhead, Hubert Roger; McMullen, Arthur E.Item Open Access Application of systems analysis to educational planning: the location of elementary schools in a rural school division(1969) Taylor, William Harold; Dushenski, WilliamItem Open Access Cattle compact: the ranch community in Southern Alberta, 1881-1896(1969) Breen, David Henry; Gagan, David P.Item Open Access Ruskin's literary reputation, 1843 to 1860: a study of the critical reception of Modern Painters(1969) Seiler, Robert Morris; Peattie, Roger W.Item Open Access Non-spatial habit reversal learning in rats, squirrels and chipmunks(1970) Kolb, Bryan Edward; Franken, Robert E.Item Open Access Stratigraphy and sedimentology, Horsethief Creek Formation, northern Dogtooth Mountains, British Columbia(1970) Poulton, Terence Patrick; Aitken, J. D.In the northern Dogtooth Mountains, the exposed Precambrian rocks are represented by the Horsethief Creek Formation, 700o+ ft. thick, contorted and faulted, consisting of four members in the following upward sequence: Feldspathic Grit Member, Lower Slate Member, Limestone Member, and Upper Shale Member. The Feldspathic Grit Member is interpreted as mainly delta-front elastic deposits and is recognized over the total study area. Available evidence suggests the sediments were derived from the east. The Lower Slate Member is mainly slate, interpreted as marine, with upper parts probably equivalent in age to parts of the Limestone Member. The Limestone Member consists of carbonate and elastic rocks varying from supratidal to probably "deeper" water deposits. Slumped units and close lateral relationship of shallow and "deeper" water deposits suggest minor penecontemporaneous tectonism. The Upper Shale Member is mainly dolomitic elastic rocks, and is recognizable with certainty only in eastern parts of the area. At Rogers Pass, and in areas where metamorphic minerals higher in grade than chlorite occur, identification of the members is hazardous. Locally, garnetiferous rocks occur, but most of the area contains rocks probably representing the biotite zone. The sequence of members is recognizable in homotaxial rocks throughout the southern Canadian Cordillera. Local absence of this sequence may be due to facies changes, and/or erosion at the sub-Cambrian unconformity. The base of the Cambrian Hamill Group is sharply defined in some places and apparently gradational in others.Item Open Access Some aspects of settlement, land-use and vegetation change in the Revelstoke area, B.C., 1885-1962(1970) Pogue, Basil Gregory; Nelson, James GordonThe purpose of this thesis was to study the effects on the landscape and vegetation of the Revelstoke area of the impact of white settlement during the period 1885-1962. In the main, evidence put forward was culled from historical and cartographic sources and little fieldwork was carried out. As a preliminary to the main body of the thesis brief attention is given to what is known of exploration and other activity in the area prior to 1885. Thereafter the subject matter is developed in a series of chapters dealing with transportation, settlements and industry. Changes in vegetation are discussed in Chapter Five and the hazards of flooding in Chapter Six. Chapter ·rwo surveys the development of railways and roads in the Kootenay area in general during the period 1885-1962. The network centred on the main CPR line with various northsouth railways and roads linking to,,ms in the district to it. A main road link with the rest of Canada did not appear until 1940, when the Trans-Canada Highway was completed. Settlement took two main forms: nucleated settlements such as Revelstoke and Arrowhead, and scattered milling or agricultural communities such as Wigwam or Xount Cartier. Chapter Three outlines the development of these settlements. Much of the latter part of the chapter is spent in describing the various legislative influences on developnent of settlement. Chapter Four examines the growth of industries. Since at the beginning of the century the area was rich in timber resources, and since it was able to satisfy demands for timber from the Prairies, a large lumber industry developed. This industry reached a peak of activity about 1910, from which it has since declined. Possibilities for successful mining were few. Agriculture was pursued in the valley, but never developed into more than a supplier of local markets. At the beginning of the 1960's tourism was a growth industry in Revelstoke, servicing the Trans-Canada Highway, but the valley to the south was in economic decline. As a result of lumbering being the main industry the major changes in the landscape have been in forest cover, much of which has been converted from mature cedar/hemlock to immature pine/Douglas fir associations. Not all the changes, however, were due solely to logging. Fires seem to have been an important cause of successional change, though the relative percentage of outbreaks of man-made as opposed to natural fires has been impossible to determine precisely. Flooding, also, has been a factor in life in the valley and is examined in Chapter Six. The river has on several occasions endangered the Revelstoke townsite by eroding the river bank. Farming in the valley has been precarious since lands along the river were frequently flooded, destroying crops. The concluding chapter summarises the thesis. Some recommendations are made regarding collection and preservation of data on landscape history of the Kootenay area and also regarding conservation of old forest habitats.Item Open Access Concepts of neighbourhood: perspectives of planners and downtown high-rise dwellers in the city of Calgary(1970) Baskett, Harold Kenneth; Gandhi, Rajnikant S.Item Open Access Measurement of the direction of aggression via state and trait techniques(1970) Saklofske, Donald H.; Frost, Barry P.
