Terminal Asphalt Patching: An Innovative Approach
Asphaltic concrete has dominated the terminal industry as the pavement of choice for years. It is readily available and economical to install but requires considerable maintenance expense....
Historic Seawalls of the Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Region: Evolution, Construction and Repair
The earliest seawalls in the Boston region were of crib construction. Cobb cribs had an open framework and could readily be floated into position and sunk with rock from local sources....
Highway Construction and a Trout Stream Relocation
In 1970, a ten-mile section of Traffic Route 15 in the northern portion of Lycoming County extending into Tioga County was under design as a two-lane limited access highway on four lane...
Optimal Capacity Expansion in Multi-Aquifer Systems
A deterministic optimization model is presented for analyzing the capacity expansion policies in multi aquifer systems. The response of the system is included in the optimization model...
A Multi-objective Criteria Analysis for Alternative Route Planning
A multi-objective criteria analysis was used to identify a proposed rail spur route with the optimal combination of low environmental impact, favorable engineering characteristics and...
Building a Pipeline?Not a Flow Through Process
This paper will illustrate that the planning, design, and construction of a 32-mile water supply pipeline from Stockton Lake to Springfield involves more than just digging a trench, placing...
Environmental Management Issues in Developing Countries of Southeast Asia
Acknowledging the escalating concerns regarding the environmental impact of water resource projects, a serious effort must be made to identify and review environmental issues which directly...
The Total System Solution
Most pipeline reconstruction programs carried out to date have been crisis driven or reactive instead of system wide approaches to problem solving. Two tools have been devised to change...
Managing Existing Reservoirs to Meet New Challenges
The current planning and management environment for many reservoirs differs significantly from the situation which existed when the projects were initially planned and constructed. Yet,...
Urban Infrastructure: Our Crumbling POTW's
There is a need to address the problem of deferred maintenance at public owned treatment works. While specific data regarding the nations deferred maintenance bill is not available, we...
Planning, Assessing and Implementing Pipeline Rehabilitation Options
The methods of investigation for determining pipeline rehabilitation options for design and construction are directed chiefly toward: a) cost minimization of necessary rehabilitation projects;...
A Chance Constrained Optimization Model Using Kinematic Wave Routing for Stormwater Infrastructure Rehabilitation
A chance constrained optimization model is presented to determine efficient long-term replacement strategies for segments of stormwater drainage systems. The model is multiobjective in...

Steering Clear of Tort Claims
Tort liability has become a major issue for today's highway engineer. Claims against state highway departments charging that deficient roadways caused or contributed to traffic...
OCEA, American-Style
A truly All-American contingent, the nominees for this year's Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement award span the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii. The scope of the...
Building Better Bridges: Concrete Vs. Steel
The authors debate the merits of concrete segmental and steel bridge design and construction based on five criteria: initial and life-cycle costs; structural advantages; durability; construction...
Design-Build Goes Public
Public owners of civil works get paid to avoid risk. It's their job. Why try some experimental technique for building offices when safe, proven methods exist? But times have...
Standard Methodologies for the Forensic Investigation of Pavements
The high costs of new construction have made the preservation and restoration of existing pavements an attractive alternative to replacement structures. Existing pavements that are to...
