Imaging the Future
Design professionals of all stripes, including engineers, will find themselves working with a variety of visual images more and more in the near future. Image literacy, an understanding...
Managing Problems Associated with Using Computer Programs
Everyone says they want to use computers. Yet, there are still some people who avoid using computers whenever they can. Also, some managers still resist using the latest computer technology....
Mixing and Delivery of Roller Compacted Concrete
Mixing and delivery of RCC are discussed. Both the design aspects such as variability and joint quality, and the construction aspects such as equipment capability and performance are covered....
Roller Compacted Concrete Mix Design
This paper presents a concise and proven mix design process. It covers all the steps necessary to produce a good roller compacted concrete (RCC) mix design for mass and structural applications,...
Coastal Geomorphology and Sand Budgets Applied to Beach Nourishment
It is commonly assumed beach nourishment projects are more successful if applied over long distances of shoreline. Short projects tend to unravel at the ends as the bulge formed by the...
Coastal Processes and Engineering on a Micronesian Fringing Reef
In 1980, portions of the fringing reef flat protecting the village of Tafunsak, Federated States of Micronesia, were dredged to provide fill material for an airport runway access road....
Reformulation Efforts for Panama City Harbor, Florida
Panama City Harbor is on St. Andrew Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Mexico, about 105 miles east of Pensacola and 230 miles northwest of Tampa. At the request of the non-Federal sponsor, the...
Comparison of Model and Field Results for Barbers Point Harbor
As waves travel into harbors from deep water, nonlinear processes lead to transfers of energy from the wind wave frequencies to long waves with periods of the order of several minutes....
57 Years of Coastal Engineering Practice at a Problem Inlet: Indian River Inlet, Delaware
This paper presents a review of Indian River Inlet's behavior in its natural state prior to jetty construction and summarizes the level of understanding of coastal processes and inlet-bay...
Design and Construction of Shinnecock Inlet, New York
Shinnecock Inlet is the easternmost of six coastal inlet which bracket the barrier island on the south shore of Long Island, New York. Through recent history, Shinnecock Inlet has exhibited...
Value Engineering in Coastal Design
A formal procedure of value engineering can be applied to coastal design to refine a design and reduce the construction costs. Despite the relatively simple technology and materials used...
Environmental Impact Analysis of Coastal Projects
It is fairly routine to describe the range of impacts that might occur as a result of a proposed improvement, but problems and controversy often accompany attempts to answer the more pressing...
Our Aging Coastal Infrastructure
The River and Harbor Act of 26 May 1824, signed by President James Monroe, authorized the first involvement of the United States Federal government in the construction of harbor works...
A feasibility study for a Concrete Core Tomographer
This is a study of the feasibility of applying computer tomography in the study of concrete cores. A laboratory protocol is presented for testing concrete cores using a medical - grade...
Concrete Surface Characterization Using Optical Metrology
The displacement of the surface of a concrete specimen is measured as it cures using an optical method. This method, known as optical metrology, is one in which a line is projected onto...
Landfills: Anatomy of Automated Design
California's 360 acre Bee Canyon landfill (completed last year) sits amid a complicated network of narrow canyons with side slopes 300 ft high. As with most landfill projects,...
