Selected Earthquake Engineering Papers of George W. Housner
Sponsored by the Structural Division of ASCE. This volume collects key papers on earthquake engineering by George W. Housner, who more than any other...

Sludge Disposal Dallas Style
Dallas, Tex. has discovered that sludge disposal can coexist with environmental concerns. Dallas Water Utilities treats some 200 million gpd, sending the effluent from one of the two treatment...

Gateways to Understanding
Automating engineering design processes are crucial to the growth and the very survival of professional services providers. The need to enhance their competitiveness and the value provided...

Siphoning Sludge
Floating siphon sludge collection systems, as part of a massive wastewater treatment expansion program, are helping Houston to grow. Amid the boom years of the early 1970s, the city had...

Ocean Energy Recovery
This proceeding of the International Conference on Ocean Energy Recovery held in Honolulu, Hawaii from November 28-30, 1989 consists of thirty-eight papers. These papers explore various...

Strategic Sanitation Planning
Conventional sewerage has generally been the only method considered for human waste and wastewater disposal in urban areas, both in developed and developing countries. In developing countries,...

Heavy Metals Sources and Waste Minimization for a POTW
This paper presents a summary of recent studies conducted to minimize heavy metals discharged to a South San Francisco Bay Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). The studies identified...

The ABCs of SRFs
With the outlook for future federal funding bleak, state and local governments will have to reply on their own resources to fund the plant expansions and upgrades needed to meet EPAs wastewater...

Earthquake Research Needs for Nuclear Power Plants
Originally published in: Journal of the Power Division, ASCE, PO1, January 1971, pp. 77-91...

Fired Up at Fort Drum
The U.S. Army's first major privatization contract was signed for design, construction, operation and ownership of the Fort Drum powerplant at the newly constructed base for...

An Overview of Structural Reliability Methods
Recent developments in structural reliability theory and better availability of load and strength data suggest that reliability-based design (RBD) methods should be considered as a practical...

Transmission Line Structure Loading
This paper outlines specific procedures for determining loads on transmission line structure systems that can be used in the reliability based design or assessment of components of these...

Improved Techniques for Assessing Structures
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has specially designed and equipped the tower testing station located within their Transmission Line Mechanical Research Center (TLMRC) near...

Assessment of Conductors
This paper deals with the mechanical integrity of conductors after several years in service and discusses current innovative conductor designs which benefit the structural designer working...

Transmission Line Insulator Assembly Reliability
Transmission line insulator assemblies made up of ceramic or composite insulators and associated hardware are used to mechanically support and electrically isolate energized conductors...

New Concepts in Transmission Line Design
Committees of the American Society of Civil Engineers have been in the forefront on updating design guides to address improved procedures for conventional latticed towers, formed-plate...

Longitudinal Impact Loading of Transmission Towers
A scale model has been developed to study a containment failure design concept for longitudinal (along the direction of the conductor) impact loading of electrical transmission structures....

Limit State Analysis Correlated to a Full Scale Tower Test
A Limit State analysis technique has been developed for evaluating the structural capacity of lattice steel electrical transmission towers. The tower strength is determined by using a...

Variation in Design Practice for Lattice Towers
The design and analysis procedures employed for lattice transmission towers vary among countries, companies, and designers. This variation in design practice affects the relative reliability...

New Outlines for 500 kV Transmission Towers Using Cold-Formed Shapes: The Experimental Line of the American Electric Power Research Institute
The use of cold-formed steel members, in electrical transmission towers, is actually a feasible, reliable and economical solution. The EPRI experimental line is an example of the newest...
