Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures specifies requirements for the design, fabrication, and testing of members and connections for electrical transmission structures. These...
Water Yield Responses to High and Low Spatial Resolution Climate Change Scenarios in the Missouri River Basin
Water yield responses to two climate change scenarios of different spatial scales were compared. Responses were determined by applying the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologic...
A Study on Debris Flow Surges
The mechanism of development of debris flow surges i studied theoretically and experimentally. It is proved that the development of viscous debris flow from continuous flow into a series...
A Cumulative Failure Criterion of Concrete Under Uniaxial Dynamic Compressive Loading
It has been previously reported that the strength and critical strain of concrete under impact increase with strain rate, but neither of them can predict failure. A cumulative damage parameter...
Snow Fencing to Increase Streamflow on Rangelands
Snow deposition and water yield were increased 55% and 127% respectively, and duration of surface runoff was lengthened 17 days in response to snow fencing a sagebrush-covered watershed...
Land Management and Water Yield in the Appalachians
Watershed treatments on the Fernow Experimental Forest have included individual tree selection, commercial clearcutting, clearcutting upper and lower halves of watersheds, clearcutting...
ROTO?A Continuous Water and Sediment Routing Model
A model called ROTO was developed to estimate water and sediment yields on large basins (several thousand square miles). ROTO is a continuous model operating on a daily time step that...
Mudflow Rheology in a Vertically Rotating Flume
Joint research by the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Missouri-Rolla currently (1990) is being conducted on a 3.05 meters in diameter vertically rotating flume used to simulate...
Study of Partially Prestressed Beams With Unbonded Post-Tensioning
Test on partially prestressed members with bonded Post-Tensioning started recently. Experimental information regarding partially prestressed members having unbonded post-tensioning is...
Water and Sediment Yield in the Tucannon River
A site specific model for water and sediment yield was developed to estimate water quality aspects of the Tucannon River Basin. In this paper, the relation of water and sediment yield...
Meixner Functions Model Crop Yield vs. Applied Water
Most crop production functions are reported as linear functions even though everyone knows they are not. The few examples of non linear crop production functions that exist in the literature...
Accuracy and Geographic Transferability of Crop Water Production Functions
This paper presents the results of that recent study, which investigated over 300 crop water production functions (CWPFs) and 370 publications on production functions. The accuracy and...
A Customized Database Management System for Watershed Modeling
When large watershed areas are being studied and continuously monitored, it is desirable to create a database management system (DBMS) that provides the necessary capability to build and...
Chaparral Watershed Management: A Systems Approach
The predicted environmental and economic effects of partial chaparral conversion for increased water yield on an experimental watershed in the Prescott National Forest, Arizona, are examined...
Conjunctive Use/Sustained Groundwater Yield Design
Assuring the sustained availability of groundwater from all parts of an aquifer system is analagous to assuring that the potentiometric surface does not change over the long term. Such...
Evaluating Water Policy Options by Simulation
Computer simulation models are used to predict the effects of three sample water policy decisions on selected conjunctive water use/sustained groundwater yield strategies for the Arkansas...
Watershed Management
Proceedings of the Symposium conducted by the Committee on Watershed Management of the Irrigation and Drainage Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers, held at Utah State University,...
