Buried Structural Capacity of Insituform?
In July 1988, a test was conducted at Utah State University to determine the structural support that can be provided to a failing rigid pipe system through the use of the Insituform process....
Innovative New Drainage Pipe
Hydraulic tests on corrugated HDPE pipe with a smooth liner show that its Mannings n-value is in the range of 0.009 to 0.015 depending on the smoothness of the liners. With the smooth...
Combined Load Testing of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe
A series of combined load tests were run on prestressed concrete cylinder pipe in order to evaluate a proposed new method of design for pipe made to AWWA Standard C301. These tests involved...
Evaluation of Combined Load Tests of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe
Combined load tests of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe, presented by Tremblay in the proceedings of this conference, are analyzed. Data gathered during the tests includes first visible...
Designing Vitrified Clay Pipe Systems with EASE
NCPI has developed a computerized trench load design program which provides a broad and complete spectrum of design options which will enable engineers and contractors to safely design...
Structural Safety and Reliability
This proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (ICOSSAR '89) held on August 7-11, 1989 in San Francisco, California contains almost...
Approach to Developing a Ground-Motion Design Basis for Facilities Important to Safety at Yucca Mountain
The DOE has proposed a methodology for developing a ground-motion design basis for prospective facilities at Yucca Mountain that are important to safety. The methdology utilizes a quasi-deterministic...
Concepts in Prototype Testing for In Situ Geomechanical Investigations at Yucca Mountain
Geomechanical investigations comprise a significant portion of the site characterization program to be conducted at Yucca Mountain, the site of a proposed repository for nuclear waste....
Willingness to Pay for Stormwater Infrastructure
The contingent valuation method is used to estimate the willingness of Baltimore County homeowners to pay for stormwater controls to reduce nutrient loadings to the Chesapeake Bay. Homeowner...
Restoration of a Buttress Dam
Inspections of Morris Shepard Dam on the Brazos River in Texas revealed serious defects in the dam and its foundation. Piezometric pressures below the spillway buttresses greatly exceeded...
A Comprehensive Method for Capacity Analysis and Signal Timing Design
This paper presents a rational methodology which combines several of the most significant programs in the signalized intersection and traffic signal timing design are in a comprehensive...
A Microcomputer Package for Interrelating the Highway Capacity Manual and SOAP 84
There is some evidence that the SOAP program may replicate signalized intersection delay more realistically than the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) operational procedure for signalized...
A Practical Way of Using the 1985 HCM - Signalized Intersection Methods
The signalized intersection chapter of the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) is probably the most widely used chapter, and thereby the most significant, and yet is very complex and sometimes...
Current Status and Future of the Highway Capacity Software
This paper discusses the current status of the Highway Capacity Software (HCS) and comments on its future, including its relations with other capacity software. Subjects covered include...
Microcomputer Model for Estimating LOS on Urban and Suburban Arterials
In the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) [1], level of service (LOS) designation for urban and suburban arterials is predicted on the average travel speed by section and for the entire...
Knowledge Based Expert Systems for Post-Incident Freeway Traffic Control
A knowledge based expert system for rerouting traffic upstream of an accident or other capacity-reducing incident on a freeway network is developed and compared with results obtained using...
InTransit: Processing and Analyzing Transit Service Data with the Macintosh
InTransit is a database application based on 4th Dimension designed to facilitate the data processing and analysis phases. InTransit, in its present form, can process both ridecheck and...
Resistance Coefficient in a Tidal Channel
In applying a numerical hydrodynamic model to the tidal channel-lagoon complex around Great Sound, New Jersey, it became apparent that the model guidelines for the resistance coefficient...
Eutrophication and Recurrent Hypoxia in the New York Bight: A Synthesis of Historical Data and a Numerical Model of the 1976 Anoxic Event
As a result of oceanographic programs conducted over the past four decades, a large historical data base is available, and has been used, to document areas of recurrent hypoxia and high...
Pipeline Design and Installation
The proceedings of the International Conference on Pipeline Design and Installation, held on March 25-27, 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, presents information on all aspects of pipeline design...
