Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
The Journal of Hydraulic Engineering accepts original contributions that describe the analysis and solutions of problems in hydraulic engineering. Technical Notes may present a problem, without solution,...
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
The Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering presents information regarding the engineering aspects of dredging, floods, ice, pollution, sediment transport, and tidal wave action that...
An Improved Design for Grain Storage Tanks Solves Problem of Brittle Failures
The welded tank features fracture-tough steel and tube stiffeners to overcome problems evident in several failures of major tanks in recent years. Used extensively for grain storage in...
Trouble Shooting ChemicaLly Resistant Masonry
This paper is a series of case histories showing specifically how lack of understanding of the nature of the materials and their proper uses has caused failure in design, specification,...
Classic Papers in Hydraulics
Fourteen papers representing basic contributions which made possible rapid advances in analytical techniques in hydraulic engineering are presented. The papers reflect state-of-the-art-...
Applying Research to Hydraulic Practice
Approximately 75 of the papers presented at the 1982 ASCE Hydraulics Division Specialty Conference in Jackson, Mississippi are included in this publication. The papers examine many aspects...
First U.S. Carrousel Racetrack Sewage Plant: simple, economical, excellent removeal.
Campbellsville, Kentucky will be the first community in the U.S. to use a promising new sewage treatment process�� the so-called Carrousel process. The process uses turbine aerators both...
A Cheap Solution to Pollution from Combined-Sewer Overflows
Every time it rains, the surface waters of many of the older communities around the U.S. are polluted by a mixture of sanitary waste and stormwater. The problem: when the community sewers...
Foundation Soil Preload Saves $164,000
Soils in the lower Mississippi valley are highly compressible and present a challenge to structural foundation designers. Rather than support power plant structures on piles, one design...
Coastal Controversies Abound at Record-Breaking Conclave
Coastal Zone '78 was the largest specialty conference ever held by the ASCE, drawing over 1,000 participants from a wide spectrum of professions that are involved in coastal...
Trans Alaska Pipeline
This is one of the most extraordinary projects contending for the OCEA awards. Examples: the 360 mile haul road built in one summer; the 29 construction camps, self-contained cities to...
Corps Developing Wildlife Habitat to Solve Disposal Problems
The large volume of sediments dredged each year by the Corps of Engineers from navigable waterways can be considered a resource instead of a waste product, and used as a substrate for...
Channel Siltation Determined with Side-Scan Radar
Of the new electronic means to measure water depth, side-scan sonar is unusual in that it gives not just a cross-section of the bottom but a semi-3-D picture of the bottom surface. Experienced...
Sediment Runoff During Highway Construction
Hydrologic data have been collected from several small streams below a highway construction project. The data have been gathered to determine the magnitude of the highway construction-sediment...
Condeep�In 400 Ft of Water, Concrete Caisson Requires No Piles
The Condeep structure consists of (1) 19 cylindrical tanks each 66-ft diam and 164-ft high that together will store up to 900,000 bbl of oil; (2) the extension upward 300-ft more of three...
Controlling Runoff from Construction Sites
In recent years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a number of states have been placing increased emphasis on controlling erosion and sediment-laden runoff from construction...
Dredging and Its Environmental Effects
Proceedings of the Specialty Conference on Dredging and its Environmental Effects, held in Mobile, Alabama, January 26-28, 1976. Sponsored by the Task Committee on Dredging and its Environmental...
Flow Equalization�Plus for Wastewater Treatment Plants
Flow equalization is important in maintaining optimum level performance in chemical water treatment plants. One way to do this is to build storage tanks upstream to regulate flow instead...
