Observation and Modeling in Numerical Analysis and Model Tests in Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
Experimental and analytical studies have both involved soil-structure interaction. Experimental studies offer an opportunity to directly observe the complex phenomena, while analytical...
Spatial Analysis in Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
This Geotechincal Special Publication contains the papers presented by the invited speakers in the sessions on Spatial Analysis in Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering held during...
Guidelines for the Design of Double-Layer Grids
Prepared by the Task Committee on Double-Layer Grids of the Committee on Special Structures of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report...
Seismic Analysis and Design for Soil-Pile-Structure Interactions
Pile foundations are used extensively to support structures in seismic regions around the world. For years, geotechnical engineers have neglected to consider the interaction soil-pile...
2000 Management Problems
When the year 2000 arrives, many computer programs will be unable to process the date because they are designed to recognize only the last two numbers of a given year, so that 2000, with...

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering
The Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering covers the broad area of practice known as geotechnical engineering. Papers are welcomed on topics such as foundations, retaining structures,...
Analysis
This section presents theoretical and practical concepts for the analysis of guyed transmission structures. The concepts are further illustrated in the examples of Section 8. The term...
Saving Scotland's Busiest Bridge
The world's most extensive bridge monitoring system has been installed on Glasgow's Kingston Bridge so that the engineers can prevent collapse during a long-term...
Project Object
Modeling and managing water systems is a notoriously difficult task, one made simpler by PRSYM, a new object-oriented software package created by a consortium of public utilities, government...
Photogrammetric Mapping
Technical Engineering and Design Guides, as adapted from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, No. 14. This manual provides procedures, minimum accuracy...
Use of SALQR Optimization in Large Aquifer Cleanup
A modified form of Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP), called Suc cessive Approximation to a Linear Quadratic Regulator (SALQR), is used to compute optimal policies for remediation...
A Graphical Environment for Multi-Dimensional Surface Water Modeling
Recently the Engineering Computer Graphics Laboratory of Brigham Young University in conjunction with the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station and the Federal Highway Administration...
FLODRO 2.0: A User Friendly Personal Computer Package for Flood and Drought Frequency Analyses
The use of personal computers have changed dramatically the way to perform several studies related with hydrological problems. The increased capabilities of the current generation of personal...
An LPI Numerical Implicit Solution for Unsteady Mixed-Flow Simulation
A Local Partial Inertia (LPI) technique is developed as an option within the National Weather Service (NWS) FLDWAV dynamic flood routing model to enhance its capability to model unsteady...
Santa Clara River Fluvial Analysis
The Santa Clara River watershed, located in Los Angeles County, has been subject to rapid increases in population and urban development, resulting in channelization, new bridges, and increased...
Genetic Algorithm Design of Piped Irrigation Systems
The design of piped irrigation systems is a complex matter. In its simplest form it involves the selection of the sizes of pipes and other hydraulic elements so as to ensure that the varying...
Potential Flow Instability Theory and Bed Forms
An extended, generalised version of two-dimensional linearised potential flow theory of fully unsteady fluid flow-sediment bed interaction is presented. In contrast to previous potential...
