NATIONAL CATALOGUING UNIT FOR THE ARCHIVES OF CONTEMPORARY SCIENTISTS Catalogue of the papers and correspondence of Peter Walter Rowe D.Sc. (1922-1997) VOLUME III PWR/5 Research PWR/7 Lectures PWR/8 Visits and conferences PWR/9 Professional bodies PWR/10 Correspondence Bibliography PWR/6 Publications and technical papers NCUACS catalogue no.132/5/04 John Rylands University Library of Manchester reference By Heather Bird and Sarah Davis PWR Page 318 Reference and contact details: PWR/5 Research Dates: 1948-1986 Extent: 5 series (71 items). Scope and Content: The papers in this section of the archive reflect the theoretical and experimental research activities and interests pursued by Peter Rowe throughout his career, from his early investigations into sheet pile walls in the late 1940s and 1950s, through work on dams and reservoirs in the 1960s, to the testing of offshore structures in the 1970s and 1980s. The majority of Rowe's research took place at the University of Manchester, and was greatly facilitated by the construction of the massive centrifuge adjacent to the Simon Engineering Laboratories. This was designed to test dam structures, but was later used extensively to test offshore oil and gas facilities (PWR/5/4). The development of the Rowe Consolidation Cell for testing clays, and the ring shear apparatus used to measure the shearing resistance of drained soils, are also documented in this section of the archive (PWR/5/2). Although Rowe's academic research contrasted with his commercial consultancy work, inevitably there was significant cross-fertilization between the two aspects of his career. Engineering problems and issues encountered in the course of consultancy projects tended to influence Rowe's research interests, and provided 'real-world' data for testing and experimentation, much of which was very practically based. Simultaneously his work as a consultant benefited from the knowledge he gained in the laboratory. Consequently there is some overlap of subject matter between PWR/4 and PWR/S. Arrangement: See also the Consultancy section of the archive, PWR/4, and the Publications and Technical Papers section, PWR/6. Some of Rowe's research proposals and findings are outlined in his letters to fellow academics and civil engineers; these can be found in PWR/10/3 and PWR/10/4. As there was no inherent arrangement to the research papers, this section of the archive has been broken down into the various aspects of Rowe's research work, based on his curriculum vitae. Included in this section are files of correspondence relating to the manufacture of the Rowe Consolidation Cell and the centrifuge, since these were developed in tandem with the research work. G.

Scope and Content: The Rowe Consolidation Cell and Ring Shear Apparatus File entitled 'sheet pile walls at failure, dense sands, compressible subsoil’, comprising sheet piling data sheets and graphs of results. This achieved uniformity of loading and allowed the testing of samples of up to 0.5 m. A In the 1950s Rowe began work on the consolidation behaviour and permeability of clays, initially using samples from the Derwent Reservoir site and the Manchester Ship Canal deposit grounds. Existing equipment proved inadequate, and so Rowe developed at Manchester the Rowe Consolidation Cell. This enclosed the sample between the body of the cell and a convoluted upper rubber membrane, allowing the hydraulic pressure to act across a membrane. Page 326 detailed analysis of the uses of the cell can be found in Peter W. Rowe and Laing Barden, 'A new consolidation cell', Géotechnique, vol. 16 (1966). The ring shear apparatus was designed to measure the 'residual strength’ of drained soils, 1.¢. the lowest shearing resistance, when a shear plane is formed and sliding continues on that plane. The load was applied centrally to the cell body through a steel sphere and machined spigot. Both the ring shear apparatus and the Rowe Consolidation Cell were developed by Rowe at Manchester and manufactured commerically by the Armfield Hydraulic Engineering Company Limited of Ringwood, Hampshire. Rowe also provided detailed instruction manuals. The series comprises diagrams of Rowe Cells; an instruction manual and commericial catalogues issued by Armfield Hydraulic Engineering; and correspondence relating to manufacturing, marketing and patent issues.
