Ground-water Modeling on Small Computers: Past, Present, and Future
The paper reports on research that concerns the possible development of numerical models being able to simulate practical cases of Oil Spill Migration (OSPIM) in soils. Such models can...
The Uplift Capacity of Helix Anchors in Sand
Results of field and laboratory investigations of the uplift capacity of helix anchors in sand are presented. Equipment and instrumentation were used to measure uplift load, anchor deflection...
Design and Stability Evaluation of Balsam Meadow Dam
The proposed Balsam Meadow Dam is a 126 feet high concrete-faced rolled rockfill dam currently under construction for the Balsam Meadow hydroelectric project in California. Detailed field...
Uplift Behavior of Anchor Foundations in Soil
This publication includes a series of studies which provide a general and consistent framework for the design of anchors in uplift. The papers are presented in three groups: (1) State-of-the-art...
Simplified Design and Construction Control for Roller Compacted Concrete
This paper presents a simplified approach to the design and construction quality control of roller compacted concrete (RCC) based on research of previous projects, discussions with experienced...
Slurry Trenches for Containing Hazardous Wastes
Slurry trench technology has not advanced much during the past 10 years due to a lack in research and development, the excerbated litigious climate in the environmental protection field,...
Consolidation of Mining Wastes
This paper describes laboratory and field tests for determining consolidation properties of soft sediments, presents data on several types of mining wastes, and presents the results of...
Consolidation of Permafrost upon Thawing
Methods of predicting initial consolidation upon thawing and the subsequent consolidation with time under increasing pressures are presented in terms of changes in unit weight. Procedures...
Efficiency of Capping Contaminated Dredged Material
The ability of capping with sand to chemically and biologically isolate contaminated dredged material was investigated using large scale (250 l) laboratory reactor units. Tissue analyses...
Incipient Resuspension of Silt-Clay Sediment
The laboratory study of incipient motion of fine-grained cohesive sediment under oscillatory flow, unidirectional flow and the combined effects of oscillatory and unidirectional flow is...
Modeling Aeration Devices for Glen Canyon Dam
The 41-ft (12. 5-m) diameter tunnel spillways at Glen Canyon Dam experienced major damage during the 1983 spring runoff. This damage was initiated by cavitation. Hydraulic model studies...
Laboratory Studies of Cavitation in Corps of Engineers Hydraulic Structures
A selected bibliography of significant hydraulic laboratory research efforts by the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to identify the likelihood of and means of preventing...
Recreational Freshwater Embayment Design for Acceptable Water Quality
Combined field and laboratory studies were used to relate water quality, geometry, and exchange characteristics in reservoir swim embayments. Water surface fluctuations in reservoirs are...
Water Resources at the Utah Water Research Laboratory
The research staff comes from a wide spectrum of water science and engineering specialties. The authors address such diverse topics as hydraulic testing, erosion studies, and water quality...
Collapse of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Walkways
A summary of the National Bureau of Standards report on the collapse of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency walkways is presented. The report does not assign blame to any party; rather, it explains...
Chinese Engineer Completes Internship in U.S.
As part of a growing dialog between the People's Republic of China and the United States�and following the visit of an ASCE delegation to China in 1979�it was proposed that...
Best Ways to Dewater Dredged Material
Left to its own devices, fine-grained dredged material placed in confined disposal areas reaches an equilibrium water content near its Atterberg liquid limit. The high water content of...
Current Trends in Design and Construction of Embankment Dams
This report is concerned primarily with the embankment itself although foundation and abutment treatment are considered essential elements of the embankment. It covers a broad range of...
Site Characterization & Exploration
Proceedings of the specialty workshop held at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, June 12-14, 1978. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
Wastewater Ozonation: A Process Whose Time Has Come
For many years, ozonation has been a technically viable solution to difficult waste treatment problems. Not until recently, though, has ozonation found growing acceptance as a cost-effective...
