Building Green
Some scientists say polystyrene insulation may be responsible for up to 40% of the ozone depletion caused by CFCs. That's only one reason why construction and design professionals...
The Effect of Surface Films on Concentration Fluctuations Close to a Gas/Liquid Interface
Modeling of gas/liquid mass transport requires knowledge concerning the behavior of near-surface concentration fluctuations at clean and film-covered gas/liquid interfaces. Previous measurements...
Hydrodynamics and Mass Transfer on a Moving Drop of Water
The fluid dynamics and mass transfer associated with moving water drops are examined. In the first part, numerical solution of the transient hydrodynamics around and inside a drop falling...
Correlation of Fractional Foam Coverage with Gas Transport Rates
Because breaking waves are believed to increase the flux of gases across the air/sea interface, it may be possible to correlate air/sea gas transport velocities with whitecap coverage....
Taller Tunnels
Between 1984 and 1991, Shannon & Wilson, Inc., Seattle, designed renovation programs for more than 25 mi of tunnels for four western railroads. We performed all of this work under...
Civil Engineering Applications of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
This proceedings includes 41 of the papers presented at the Second National Specialty Conference on Civil Engineering Applications of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems...
Seismic Design and Performance of Railroad Bridges
Damage to railroad bridges during earthquakes in the United States and Japan is summarized. Research tasks are outlined to develop seismic design and retrofit criteria for railroad bridges....
Seismic Practices for the Air Transportation System: Evolution and Needs
The seismic performance of air transportation systems is reviewed. The evolution of seismic design criteria and practices for major air transportation system elements is discussed. The...
Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Bridges on Earthquake Priority Routes in Western Kentucky
This paper discusses the current conditions of 203 bridges on the priority routes in Western Kentucky and their vulnerabilities to earthquakes. A span-loss type of bridge collapse due...
Engineering Tactics on Lifelines Safety Against Earthquakes
Effects of sediment-filled valley on seismic ground motions have become of major interest in earthquake engineering throughout this decade. This paper presents interesting phenomena of...
Automatic Vehicle Classification System
China has recently completed a number of freeways, all of which were financed in part by the Ministry of Communications and local governments and in part by loans from the World Bank,...
Analysis of Automatic Vehicle Identification Technology and Its Potential Application of Florida's Turnpike
The Florida Department of Transportation contracted with the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida to conduct an analysis of automatic vehicle...
Analysis of Roadside Equipment and Central Facilities for Innovative Driver Information and Traffic Control Systems
Following a top down analysis of a selected set of innovative RTI functions, we identify in this paper the requirements and characteristics of the roadside equipment and central installations...
SINOD?A Location Reference Tool for Road Information Systems
This paper focuses on the setting up of a location reference system - named SINOD - envisaged as a basic requirement for on going actions and for expected developments in the field of...
Application of Fuzzy Set Theory to the Analysis of Transportation Problems
