Measurement of earth pressures by means of the flat jack test
P. Habib, R. Marchand, Severine Britt (translator)
1953, Open-File Report 54-31
This study deals with the principle and application of a method of measuring the stresses around a rock gallery. The measuring principle consists of cutting a drain in a gallery wall, observing the corresponding stress lessening, then restoring the initial state of stress by means of a Freyssinet flat jack. The...
Geology of the Plumtree area, Spruce Pine district, North Carolina
Donald Albert Brobst
1953, Open-File Report 53-26
This report describes the results of study and geologic mapping (1:12,000) in the 70-square-mile Plumtree area in the northeastern part of the Spruce Pine pegmatite district, on the Blue Ridge upland in western North Carolina. The district has been the chief domestic source of feldspar and sheet mica. The mining...

H. Breyer, S. H. Britt (translator)
1953, Open-File Report 54-33
The worst enemy of construction engineering and of construction material is uncontrollable water, whether it be ground-, seepage-, rainwater, water of condensation, or melting snow and ice, exerting objectionable pressure upon tracks and roads. this applies as well to structures above the ground as to bridge piers and foundations, road...

C. G. Paulsen
1953, Water Supply Paper 1137-G
In areal coverage and magnitude of peak discharge the floods of April-May 1950 in the Missouri River Basin in North and South Dakota were unprecedented in the area. These floods were characterized by an extremely late spring breakup of ice, by great flood peaks resulting from snow melt, and by...
