Axial Capacity of Steel Pipe Piles in Clay
Development of theories for the prediction of the axial compressive and tensile load capacities of driven piles is made difficult by a variety of factors, e.g., disturbance of the soil...
Tying It All Together
The Rancocas Greek Bridge, a steel tied arch designed for both light-rail and freight train loading, may be the first bridge of its kind to carry freight trains in the United States....
Effective Analysis of Diaphragm Walls
Prepared by the Technical Committee on Performance of Structures during Construction of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report presents...
Sprinkler Irrigation
In sprinkler irrigation, water is applied to the soil using a pressurized piping system with nozzles, jets, or perforated pipe that sprays the water into the air. These sprinkler devices...
Climate Control
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has created its own customized weather information system to improve efficiency in its winter road maintenance operations. Intended...
A Bridge Along the Same Lines
Engineers in Tennessee were recently charged with building a new viaduct in an old profile, while at the same time keeping headroom for the trains and keeping off the neighbors'...
Observation and Modeling in Numerical Analysis and Model Tests in Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
Experimental and analytical studies have both involved soil-structure interaction. Experimental studies offer an opportunity to directly observe the complex phenomena, while analytical...
Seismic Analysis and Design for Soil-Pile-Structure Interactions
Pile foundations are used extensively to support structures in seismic regions around the world. For years, geotechnical engineers have neglected to consider the interaction soil-pile...
Training for Bridge Inspectors in Stream Stability and Scour
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is now requiring a comprehensive evaluation of bridge scour as part of the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). FHWA has established January...
HEC-RAS (River Analysis System)
HEC-RAS (River Analysis System) is an integrated system of software, designed for interactive use in a multi-tasking environment. The system is comprised of a graphical user interface...
A Knowledge Based System for the Design of Open Channels
The design of open channel facilities often calls for evaluation of a unique set of physical conditions which do not lend themselves to standard designs and textbook solutions. Consequently,...
Engineering Mechanics
This proceedings contains keynote and summary papers presented at the 11th ASCE Engineering Mechanics Conference held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, May 20-22, 1996. The keynote papers address...
Design of Sheet Pile Walls
Technical Engineering and Design Guides, as adapted from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, No. 15 From foundation exploration and testing procedures...
Guarding Against Scour
An overview of the magnitude of the bridge scour problem in the United States is presented, using recent bridge failures to illustrate the problem. Procedures and results from the ongoing...
Cables Over the Mississippi
As the designer of the Great River Bridge over the Mississippi between Gulfport, Ill. and Burlington, Iowa, Sverdrup Corp., St. Louis, had to find a way to connect the new five-lane crossing...
Dynamic Loading of a Rigid Frame Bridge
The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamic response of a rigid frame bridge to two trucks (side by side) passing over the rough bridge deck. The rigid frame bridge is designed...
Cumulative Impact of Heavy Permit-Trucks on Steel Bridges
In many parts of North America, special permits are issued to heavy vehicles without considering their cumulative effect on steel bridge components. Such overloads may initiate crack propagation...
The Use of Coda Waves for Characterizing the Site Effect on Strong Ground Motion
The well established separability of source, path and site effects on coda waves of local seismic events offers the most effective means for determining the site amplification factor empirically....
The Challenge of Housing the Largest Detector
The most innovative part of the structural-civil design of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) is that of the underground experimental halls located alongside the 86 kilometer collider...
