The Marina Environment from a Boaters Point of View
A discussion of the benefits and problems encountered by the recreational boater as a tenant of both the public and private marinas in Southern California is presented....
Development of Marina Facilities on the Southern California Coast
The Southern California coastal region has developed recreational boating facilities through the use of existing bays, creation of new inland water areas and the construction of small...
NOAA Collection and Dissemination of Marine Information
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) interest in marinas stems from our mandate to foster boating safety through the issuance of marine navigation products and...
Public/Private Ventures?Southern California
Recreational small craft harbors in Southern California have been and continue to be big business and were forerunners to government's current interest in generating new revenue...
New Marina Regulations for Delaware: A Case Study in Conflict Resolution?
On 20 March 1989, Governor Castle of Delaware issued Executive Order No. 70 which instituted a moratorium on new marina permits until the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental...
Lessons from Hurricane Hugo: Recommendations for Marina Operation and Design
Hurricanes are not new to South Carolina, but with the recent development of the coast, many new and unseasoned boaters have located in the area. Since Hurricane Hazel in 1954, South Carolina...
Marina Parking Study
This marina parking study establishes a rationale for determining parking demand at marinas on the north shore of Long Island Sound in Connecticut and New York. The study was performed...
Facility Accessibility Through Barrier-Free Design
This paper will outline the background, methodology and approval process used in developing national uniform design standards for barrier-free access to public boating and fishing facilities....
Automating Airfield Condition Data Collection

Seattle's Good Neighbor Policy
The West Point wastewater treatment plant in Seattle sits on a spit of land jutting into Puget Sound. Close by is Discovery Park, a haven for nature lovers, located on a bluff above the...
Man and Huge System Interaction
In many cases of disaster, the causes of failure of huge systems are frequently attributed to human error. However human is liable to error. To exclude human factor from a huge system...
Structural Safety and Satisfaction
The mathematical program of a cost extremum constrained by safety, functional and other statements is a comfortable image of design. In this paper the various components of this program...
Optimization of Structures Under Stochastic Loads
A method for design under multiple stochastic loads based on optimization is developed. The objective function such as cost is minimized under the constraint that the probabilities of...
Damage Assessment of Bridge Structures by System Identification
A method for the damage estimation of bridge structures under seismic ground excitation is developed based on system identification approach. The dynamic behavior of a damaged structure...
Advanced Reliability Methods for Probabilistic
