Putting It Back
Before construction of the largest inclined turbines in the U.S., the Santa Ana River would carry storm flows out to sea, lost to the residents of water-poor Orange County. The area's...
Bottom Plugging Dynamics in Recharge Basins
The Orange County Water District is investigating the reasons why percolation rates in deep recharge basins rapidly decrease. The interrelationship between microbiological activities in...
In-Situ Plate-Load Tests of Frozen Silt and Gravel
Preliminary Results of Frost Heave Tests in a Large Cell
Sediment Reduction Benefits of Bank Protection
Foundations on Expansive Soils in Northern Virginia
Thick layers of clayey silts (MH) were observed at several sites where townhouse developments were planned. These deposits had a high shrink swell potential. Maximum swell pressure tests...
Hydraulic Model Studies on Effective Installation Method of Silt Protector Sheets for Large Depth of Working Site
Economic Potentiality of the Coastal Zone of South Tamilnadu, India and its Need for Protection
Suspended Sediment Model of Offshore Tin Mining
The three dimensional dispersion equation is integrated vertically to use in describing the suspension of silt from offshore tin mining. The resulting two dimensional equation includes...
Prediction of Siltation at a Point
This paper describes a zero-dimensional mathematical model which predicts siltation at a point on a cohesive sediment bed. The processes of erosion, deposition and consolidation are modelled...
Pile Capacity Prediction
Pile Capacity Prediction for 1989 Foundation Engineering Congress
Modern Technology in an Ancient Environment?The Answan II Power Plant
The Aswan II power plant is located at the old Low Aswan Dam in Southern Egypt. This dam was constructed in the early years of the century in order to provide irrigation water for cash...
Dynamic Strain in Silt and Effect on Ground Motions
Sediment Survey of Lake Powell
The 1986 Lake Powell Sediment Survey documented the present storage-elevation relationship and loss of storage from sediment accumulation since the reservoir began filling. From the calculated...
Silt Run Effectiveness in Withdrawing Sediment
An investigation was conducted during the silt runs on the North Platte River to determine the continued effectiveness of the runs in providing fine sediments to the canal systems downstream....
Effect of Gradation and Fines Content on the Undrained Response of Sand
Erosion and ErosionControl of a Silt-Muddy Beach
In China, many large and middle rivers such as Yellow River, Yangtze River, Pearl River, Liaohe River carry a large amount of fine sand into the sea, this results in extensive silt-muddy...
Segregation of Sediment During Deposition
A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the segregation of sediment during deposition. Sediment eroded from an upslope source area of Blount silt loam was introduced to a...
Strengthening Alaskan Beaufort Sea Soils with Portland Cement
Preliminary studies undertaken to assess the feasibility of utilizing gravity structures on soft arctic silts indicate that the available foundation capacity are insufficient. Therefore...
