San Francisco Bay's Jeweled Necklace (Available only in Focus on Structures Special Edition)
When one looks at a map of San Francisco Bay, three bridges stand out to form a link around the central part of the Bay. At night, it takes little imagination for one to see the lights...

Intelligent Transportation Education
The comprehensive traffic surveillance study for the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) began in late September 1993. The project involved the study of available traffic management...

Artificial Recharge Using Inflatable Rubber Dams
Artificial recharge of ground water is a necessity in Orange County, California, where natural recharge is insufficient to satisfy water demands. Orange County is part of a semiarid coastal...

Design Guidelines for UV Disinfection Facilities
Current design methods for UV disinfection facilities depend largely on experience with minimum input design variables, such as water UV transmittance and required disinfection efficiency....

Numerical Modeling of Flows in Ultraviolet Disinfection Channels
Current design methods for UV disinfection facilities depend largely on experience with minimum input design variables, such as water UV transmittance and required disinfection efficiency....

A System to Improve Water-Related Sustainability Characteristics of International Development Programs/Projects
In light of escalating environmental demands and reduced international development budgets, there is a growing need to assist loan/donor agencies in improving both the development and...

A New Robotic System Concept for Automating Highway Maintenance Operations
The purpose of this paper is to present the Tethered Mobile Robot (TMR) concept, a new robotic system for automating highway maintenance operations. The operational requirements of this...

Thermal Regeneration of Spent Lithium Hydroxide
Exploration of planetary surfaces will require portable life-support systems to provide a continuous supply of breathable air. These systems will need to be regenerable in order to support...

A Surface Exploration Vehicle Testbed for Real-Time Control Exerimentation
Current mission scenarios for return to the moon as well as Mars include some robotic systems; for the precursor unmanned mission, these systems will be required to operate under autonomous...

Cut and Cover Construction of the SSC Injector Tunnels
The injector system of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) constitutes the string of tunnels where protons are accelerated to near the speed of light and injected into the main collider...

Blast Demolition of Reinforced Concrete Industrial Chimneys
On some of recently demolished chimneys, transient measurements were taken, in the vicinity of the tilting hinge, during the process of falling down. Thus, corresponding dynamic computational...

Intelligent Decision Support System for Stage Discharge Analysis
A Decision Support System (DSS) for fitting stage-discharge (S-D) relations is being developed by the University of Manitoba, Facility for Intelligent Decision Support, for Environment...
