In Situ Treatment of VOCs by Recirculation Technologies
Confronted with contaminated land from the world wars and the postwar industrialization period, German researchers and practicing professionals have worked to develop processes for effective...
High-speed Video Analysis of Sediment-Turbulence Interaction
Results from the analysis of high-speed video recordings of particle motion and simultaneous flow visualizations in the near wall region of a turbulent open channel flow are presented....
Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Pipe Using Standard Installations (SIDD)
This publication, Standard Practice for Direct Design of Buried Precast Concrete Pipe Using Standard Installations (SIDD), (ASCE 15-93), is applicable to buried concrete precast pipe intended...

An Interactive Input Data Manager for the TRAF Simulation System
TRAFEdit is an interactive, menu driven program which allows the user to create or modify an input data file for the TRAF simulation system. TRAFEdit is essentially an update to the NEDIT...
Analysis of Vessel and Vehicle Queues at Moveable Bridges
This paper describes procedures and the analysis developed to evaluate three different replacement options for the existing S.E. 17th Street Causeway moveable bridge which crosses the...
Estimating Load Impacts on Highway Structures Using the National Bridge Inventory Database
The issuance of single and multiple permits to operate vehicles exceeding legal weight limits, along with the policy-level analysis of bridge impacts induced by changes in vehicle size...
A CADD Program for Simulating Turning Vehicles
The turning capability of one or more 'design' vehicles and their swept paths has a significant influence on the layout of transportation facilities such as roadway intersections, parking...
Input for Seismic Design of Major Structures
Effective seismic input considering the soil-structure interaction or soil-pile-structure interaction is presented. This approach takes the seismic wave as primitive input and considers...
Dynamic Soil-Foundation Interaction at the Meloland Road Overcrossing
Forced vibration tests, using a hydraulic ram device, were conducted on the Meloland Road Overcrossing (MRO) bridge over Interstate 8 near El Centro, California. Dynamic response data...
Parametric Study of Cable-Stayed Bridges Response Due to Traffic-Induced Vibration
The dynamic response of long-span cable-stayed bridges due to moving traffic loads is investigated utilizing three-dimensional models. Modal analysis is conducted using the deformed dead-load...
A Reduced Order Model for the Seismic Analysis of Building-Soil Systems
A finite element based, reduced order, numerical model has been developed for the nonlinear analysis of building-soil systems. The reduced order system model employs an equivalent continuum...
Vibration and Impact in Skewed Steel Bridges
The vibration and impact of skewed multigirder bridges due to vehicles moving across rough bridge deck are studied. The bridges are modeled as grillage beam systems. The vehicle is simulated...
Remote Monitoring of a Stressed Timber Bridge Deck
The long term behavior of a CCA treated stressed timber deck bridge is being monitored, at present, using a remote data acquisition system. The bridge which is located in Gray, Maine was...
Some Considerations for Remedial Grouting for Seepage Control
The inadequate performance of grout curtains and the consequent need for remedial and supplementary grouting of dam foundations probably arises, in essentially all cases, from a combination...
Rehabilitation of Cracked Embankment Dams
Cracking is a common phenomenon in many earth embankment dams and especially those small to medium size dams constructed on compressible soil foundations. Collapsible soil conditions,...
Liquefaction Potential of Gravelly Soils in Dams
Gravelly soils are common components of embankment dams and their foundations. When such soils have been placed or deposited in a loose condition and are saturated, they are potentially...
Liquefaction Evaluation by Seismic Potential Procedure
Empirical procedures in common use for liquefaction evaluation employ information from a variety of sources in order to evaluate whether or not a site will undergo liquefaction. The information...
Reduction of Liquefaction Potential by Compaction Grouting at Pinopolis West Dam, SC
A previous 1984 field study and subsequently published paper (Salley et.al., 1987) described the seismic design background and evaluated the potential success of compaction grouting to...
Improving Dam Safety Using a Fin Drain
Bloemhoek Dam is an embankment dam with a maximum height of 21 m, which leaked severely after first filling in 1978. This leakage resulted in the development of `boils' over a portion...
