Construction of Fisherman's Wharf Breakwater
The San Francisco District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers recently completed construction of a breakwater at Fisherman's Wharf. The construction, completed ahead...

Integrated Monolayer Flexible Revetment Technology for Coastal Protection
Fundamental considerations for flexible revetment design are given in some detail and the critical need for sound engineering in a total system design approach is strongly emphasized....

Global Issues?Local Responsibilites
This paper discusses the concrete, day-to-day benefits of international regulations, the specific roles that local officials and interest groups play in developing successful international...

Concrete Overlays Challenge Asphalt
When a pavement needs more than minor repair but not total replacement, bonded and unbonded concrete overlays and inlays are options to consider. The article describes four projects where...

Armor Protection for Rubble Mound Breakwaters
A brief summary of past practices in breakwater armor system design is presented. The limitations of current design procedures for rubble mound breakwaters are discussed and improved methods...

Earthen Liners for Land Disposal Facilities
Proper construction of compacted earthen liners requires special attention to construction details and quality assurance. Moisture content and weight of roller are probably the two most...

Design and Performance of Earth-Lined Containment Systems
Engineers have been designing and constructing earthen containment structures for many tens of years. These structures have historically been embankment dams, petroleum storage impoundments,...

Containment of Low-Level Radioactive Material
The U. S. Department of Energy has completed a short term storage site for the containment of low-level radioactive residues and contaminated soil near Lewiston, New York. The site, known...

Environmental Geotechnology & Tailings Reclamation
The Department of Energy is responsible, in terms of Federal Legislation, for remedial action work at 24 inactive uranium mill tailings piles in ten states. This paper describes the setting...

Field Measurements of Landfill Surface Settlements
The Collier Road Landfill, located in southeast Michigan, has been accepting industrial and muncipal solid waste since the late 1960's. This existing landfill encompasses...

Plastic Concrete Cutoff Walls
The studies revealed that plastic concrete can be prepared having a coefficient of hydraulic conductivity that is less than 1 multiplied by 10** minus **7 cm/sec. The shear strength of...

Test Fill for a Double Liner System
A double liner system is required in hazardous waste disposal facilities to satisfy the current Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and State of Michigan Act 64 Requirements. To meet...

Influential Factors in Soil Liner Construction for Waste Disposal Facilities
Those factors most influential in the construction of a soil liner to meet a permeability performance standard of 1 multiplied by 10-7 centimeters per second (cm/sec) are identified and...

Permeability of Compacted Clay Liners in Laboratory Scale Models
Experiments conducted in flexible wall permeameters have shown that the permeability of a soil sample is dependent on the size of the specimen tested. The permeability was found to decrease...

Soil Improvement
A Ten Year Update
Since the publication of Soil Improvement?History, Capabilities and Outlook after the Annual ASCE convention in Philadelphia in 1976, a dramatic growth in certain soil improvement techniques...

Computer Aided Simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems
The papers included in this book represent state-of-the-art developments in and applications of computer aided simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems in both the terrestrial...

Guide for the Design and Use of Concrete Poles
Prepared by the Concrete Pole Task Committee of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Division of ASCE. This guide presents...

Spanning the Seas
A proposed structural scheme, called the V�tower system, could cross vast stretches of water with record length spans yet use only conventional materials. An example is a bridge proposed...

Water Jets: Concrete Yes, Tunneling Maybe
High pressure water jets are demolishing concrete from bridge and parking decks, faster and at lower cost than by traditional means. The technique is fast becoming an acceptable option....

Case Studies?Semi-Closed Pipeline Systems
The paper discusses the title subject in terms of automated systems, flexible scheduling, and system components. Project locations include the Mahaweli Development Project, Sri Lanka;...
