Long-Term Maintenance Dredging Permits - Florida's New Approach to Regulation
Previous approaches to regulating maintenance dredging activities in Florida generally have been myopic and failed to gather information that adequately reflects the needs for environmental...
The National Dredging Data Management System
The ADDAMS computer program is a collection of user-friendly computer models for planning, designing and managing confined disposal areas. Models which can be used to determine the size...
An Application of Acoustic Core Analysis
This technique has shown itself to be extremely successful at Roberts Bank, in a highly variable bottom material, where shallow depths were not a significant problem, and some borehole...
Scour and Fill Monitoring at Lock and Dam No. 26 (Replacement), Mississippi River
Information gathered during construction of the first stage dam is presented. The information consists of data indicating flows and stages along with data obtained from surveys which monitor...
Analysis of Partially Filled Circular Storm Sewers
The classic design approach uses Manning's formula. Comparisons between analytical results obtained in this manner and the many available experimental results indicate substantial...
Discharge Characteristics of Labyrinth Weirs
The hydraulic performance of labyrinth weirs is developed from data obtained from flume studies and site specific models. Using dimensional analysis, an equation for the discharge is developed...
Ice Block Stability
A simple formulation of the forces acting on an ice block in contact with an intact ice cover is presented. Underturning of the ice block is the assumed mechanism by which the block is...
LTER and Management of the Upper Mississippi River
The Upper Mississippi River is managed for multiple use by two federal agencies and five states. System management objectives include commercial navigation, commercial fisheries, minimum...
The SNOTEL Data Acquisition System Design, Operation, and Uses
The Soil Conservation Service (SCS), U. S. Department of Agriculture, coordinates measurement of the winter snowpack in the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and other major mountain ranges...
Standard Hydrologic Exchange Format (SHEF) for Automated Data Transmission
The Standard Hydrologic Exchange Format (SHEF) is a standardized system of encoding data transmissions for both manual and automated processing. SHEF features include (a) readability by...
Geotechnically Allowable Stress for Driven Piles
There are opposing opinions on what value to use for allowable stress in driven steel piles. The key is that two types of stress must be considered: the structurally allowable stress,...
Geotech '84
The abstracts are to provide the reader with a summary of the presentations made at the Geotech III Conference. They also give the readers a reference for future use and the name and current...
Analyzing Infrastructure Condition�A Practical Approach
New York City and Philadelphia are using a new method of analyzing existing data to develop sensible, economical water main replacement programs. By analyzing readily available data on...
Annotated Bibliography on Urban Design Storms
This bibliography summarizes significant publications in the area of urban design storms. References are assigned one or more of the following classifications: (1) Time distributions (hyetographs);...
In Search of Ancient Engineers
Many examples of pre-Columbian civil works have been uncovered in North and South America. Some reflect well-organized technologies comparable to those of the Old World of the same time...
Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Japan
After World War II the devastated Japanese landscape was ravaged repeatedly by heavy typhoons causing severe damages. Nevertheless, a hydrological data acquisition system was not adequately...
Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Nigeria
Urban hydrological research is largely in its infancy in Nigeria. Most cities are unplanned and unsewered. There is no Hydrological Research Institute and only two or three Universities...
