Graphical Verification of Flood Frequency Analysis
In the analysis of flood frequency data, a proper distribution must be chosen to fit the data being analyzed. A properly applied distribution can minimize errors in the extrapolation of...
Scale Effects of Overflow-Oriented Hydraulic Parameters for a High Dam
This paper presents the findings of prototype observation and model verification on the surface velocity, the range of nappe jetting, and the diffusion regime of the discharged flow related...
Concrete Pavement?Specification by Modeling
Concrete pavement specifications have traditionally been prescriptive with construction in-put defined. This practice does not include a definition of the product intended, restricts innovation,...
Climate Change and Water-Resource Planning
Field Verification of Clay Liner Hydraulic Conductivity
Verification of Macroscopic Models or RC Walls by FEM
Several macroscopic models based on the limit analysis have been proposed for obtaining the ultimate strength of reinforced concrete shear walls in Japan. When using these models, it is...
Verifying Software by Use
Terry proposes a new approach to software verification, in which computer programs would be verified each time they are used throughout the length of the project. He compares this to the...
Modelling Changes in Coastal Morphology
A description is given of a newly-developed coastal sediment transport model. Features of the model are the inclusion of cross-shore transport and non-potential suspended load, the latter...
An Analytical Solution to Verify a Nonlinear Tidal Circulation Model
The governing equations for this study are the shallow water equations including convective terms. Oscillations of free surface are assumed important in comparison to the total water depth....
Field Efficiency Tests of a Large Pump-Turbine
The New York Power Authority's Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Project began commercial operation in 1973. In 1987, the Authority initiated a study of the existing pump/turbines...
Verification Decisions for Urban Stormwater Models
The Software Certification of the Laon Cable Car
Optimisation of Bulb and Kaplan Turbine Runners
The paper presents a brief survey of the theoretical method used so far at Turboinstitut Ljubljana for axial runner design and analysis. Theoretically optimised runner is later experimentally...
Software Verification: A Case Study
Importance Sampling in Structural System Reliability
In structural system reliability analysis, it is frequently necessary to resort to Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). This paper focuses on Importance Sampling, an advanced MCS method, which...

Field Verification of Three-Leaf Intake Gate Model Test Results
Assessing the West
Analyzing the geography, geology, flora and infrastructure in eight western states is a massive geotechnical project being undertaken for the military. More than 190,000 square miles have...
Implementation of Highway Research in California
In March 1988 ASCE conducted a national workshop on highway research. This paper will discuss the ten commandments from the perspective of the California Department of Transportation....
