Resin Transfer Process Modelling: Computational & Experimental
In most cases, the resin transfer molding (RTM) researcher has a fundamental understanding of composites and possibly some mold design experience. The areas of resin flow dynamics and...
Geocomposites Simplify Methane Barrier/Venting System Design
A case history describing the use of a geomembrane and geocomposite to simplify the design of a combined subsurface barrier and venting system is presented. The passive barrier and venting...
Significance of Yield Surface Corner-Like Effects in Inelastic Stability Solutions
This paper presents the author's experiences with finite element prediction of the inelastic stability of steel plate structures. The implications of linear versus nonlinear...
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...

Stratified Flows
This volume contains the edited and refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Stratified Flows, convened on February 3-5, 1987 in Pasadena, California. It consists of...
Progress in Hydromechanics
The historical development of hydromechanics in the fifty years since the founding of the Hydraulics Division is reviewed. Rouse's 1938 text, Fluid Mechanics for Hydraulic Engineers, provided...
Surface Water Hydrology
A brief history is presented of activities in surface water hydrology by the Hydraulics Division since 1938. Included is an historical review of division activities in such areas as precipitation...
Research in ASCE's Hydraulics Division
Research in the Hydraulics Division of ASCE during the last 50 years has undergone changes in both technical content and procedures. Open channel flow, sediment transport and pipe flow...
Cold Regions Hydrology and Hydraulics
The Cold Regions Hydrology and Hydraulics Monograph is the eighth in a series of monographs prepared by the ASCE Technical Council on Cold Regions Engineering. The book is intended to...
Water Jets Fight Silt
In the largest U.S. application to date, an array of hydraulic jets is being used to scour a ship berth at the Port of Grays Harbor on the coast of Washington. The system has been in place...
The Truck Commodity Survey in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Area
The Truck Commodity Survey was designed to gather information on the characteristics of truck traffic at toll barriers with minimal disruption to traffic flows. It was developed by the...
An Education in Tunneling
A senior civil engineer and winner of the 1988 Martin Kapp Foundation Engineering Award describes the evolution of U.S. tunneling technology and practice. Trained as a structural engineer,...
An Education in Tunneling
In this follow-up to the author's article in the April 1989 issue of Civil Engineering, this senior civil engineer and winner of the 1988 Martin Kapp Foundation Engineering...
Foundation Engineering Constraints in Karst Terrane
Cavity-prone carbonate rocks are found in many Appalachian valleys and represent a poorly recognized hazard. This paper reviews the nature of the problem of founding above these Cambro-Ordovician...
Influence of Geologic Development on Horizontal Stress in Soil
Geologic history commonly controls the stress in natural soils, so that an understanding of the geology allows an assessment of the horizontal stress. This paper describes mechanistically...
Geotechnical Judgment in Foundation Design
This paper summarizes the initial findings of a research project to investigate the judgment-making process of foundation engineers. Solutions for a typical design problem were solicited...
Structural Foundation Practices for Highway Projects
The state-of-practice by State transportation agencies, in the area of structural foundations, is compared between the late 1970's and the present. The structural foundation...
Interaction of Geology, Construction Practice and Foundation Design
The influence of geologic knowledge and construction practices on the geotechnical foundation design process has been assessed and summarized. Particular emphasis has been given to the...
Chemically Induced Foundation Heave
The Kerr-McGee Electrolysis Plant in Henderson, Nevada has had recorded upward movements of portions of the building in excess of 18 inches. Contours of the measured heave indicate that...
