Pile Foundation Movements During Construction
Two case histories concern a shipyard wharf and work bay in Los Angeles harbor and an oil refinery expansion in Sumatra, Indonesia. The case histories provide further data on the nature...
Toward Interactive Color-Shaded Rendering in CAD
A software package (CATSIG) is described which allows the user to interactively color shade geometric objects created on a sophisticated commercial CAD system (CATIA). The novel features...
Advanced Graphical CAD System for 3D Steel Frames
An innovative, advanced graphical computer-aided design system, called STEEL-3D, is described. The main objective of this program is to provide the engineer with all the tools necessary...
Yield Behaviour and Consolidation. I: Pore Pressure Response
This paper discusses the frequency of occurrence of anomalous consolidation behaviour. The behaviour of soft clay is discussed briefly in terms of the effective stress path/yield envelope...
Yield Behaviour and Consolidation. II: Strength Gain
In Part I it was shown that in situ yielding of soft foundation clays significantly affected consolidation behaviour and that yield could be defined using the effective stress path/yield...
Instrumentation Performance in Soft Clay Soils (A Case History)
In 1978, IDEAL BASIC INDUSTRIES, INC. initiated construction of a cement manufacturing plant located south of Mobile, Alabama on the Theodore Ship Channel. Because deltaic clays were too...
Pipeline Materials and Design
The proper use of pipeline materials and design is obviously paramount in the private and public works sectors. The introduction and proper use of new piping materials and design procedures...
Computer Aided Design in Civil Engineering
Increased application of computer aided design and drafting encouraged the organization of the symposium from which this book was derived. The papers presented at the symposium and included...
Pipelines in Adverse Environments II
State of the art and future trends in pipeline design, construction and maintenance are reviewed. Specific areas addressed include adverse terrain conditions, river crossings-particularly...
Computer-Aided Drafting in Civil Engineering
Computer aided drafting (CAD) is defined as an interactive computer graphics system suitable for the generation of engineering documentation. The development of CAD is reviewed. The computer...
Alaska's Native Log Bridges
There are several thousand bridges of this type which carry heavy logging trucks in Alaska and remote areas of the lower 48 states. Covers bridge safety, wheel-load distribution, field...
Minnesota Interceptor Sewer Breaks New Ground
The Beltline Interceptor is a gravity interceptor sanitary sewer which has its outlet in St. Paul and its beginning in White Bear Lake. Major requirements called for a design which would...
Porous Friction Course Solves Airport Hydroplaning Problem
Several hydroplaning incidents had occurred at the Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem Regional Airport, N.C. Hydroplaning occurs when hydrostatic pressure builds up in the field of surface...
