Carpet Flow Analysis
Under very high flow conditions, sediment may be transported either in a suspension or by carpet flow, as defined by Bagnold. This study examines the theoretical conditions for carpet...
Non-Point Pollution Loadings and their Impacts on Tennessee Valley Reservoirs
This is a three-year study which began in March 1992. The project has focused on inflow streams entering storage projects including Douglas, Cherokee, South Holston, Watauga, Norris, Chatuge,...
Strengths and Weaknesses of Shallow Water Equations in Steep Open Channel Flow
The paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of shallow water equations in steep open channel flow. These equations, 1) St. Venant equations, 2) steep slope shallow water equations...
Numerical Analysis of High Velocity Flow with Zero-Depth Line and Oblique Shock Wave in Steep Open-Channels
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of 2D steady high velocity flows with the zero - depth line and the oblique shock wave in steep open channels by means of the method of characteristics....
Numerical Experiments on Instability in Unsteady Flow Modeling
The problem of numerical instability in modeling unsteady open-channel flows is investigated using the technique of numerical experiments. The model is based on the one-dimensional de...
Flow and Chloride Transport in the Tidal Hudson River, NY
A one-dimensional dynamic-flow model and a one-dimensional solute-transport model were used to evaluate the effects of hypothetical public-supply water withdrawals on saltwater intrusion...
Thermo-Hydrodynamic Modelling of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal
A one-dimensional numerical model of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and Lower Des Plaines River has been developed as a tool for assessment of the waterway's thermal response to actual...
Malaysia's Twins: High-Rise, High Strength
U.S. firms, following the market for new skyscrapers to Asia, are involved in design and construction of twin office towers in the commercial heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that will...

A Thousand Points of Data
Significant cracking was discovered in a multistory parking garage shortly after construction. Was it safe to open? Based on visual inspection, a bridge was down-rated, with potential...
Detecting Dam Failures
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission guidelines say that unattended hydroelectric dams must be monitored against failure around the clock. Design and installation of failure monitoring...
Computer-Integrated Construction
Computers have been used quite successfully as replacements for manual drafting, but to stop there seriously underuses the potential of computer aided design. By using the computer's...
Minimizing the Probable Maximum Flood
A newly-developed probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimate for Wisconsin and Michigan reduced precipitation depths by 20%. Should a given area's probable maximum flood...
