Simulation with Ordered Discrete-Stochastic Samples
In order to account for the viscoplastic deformations, leading to the failure of structures, the nonlinear dynamic responses can be obtained with convenient spatially discretization schemes....

Stochastic Fem Analysis of Nonlinear Dynamic Problems
This paper deals with the stochastic finite element analysis of nonlinear structural dynamic problems, using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The stochasticity of those problems arises...

Dynamic Maps for Seismic Risk Reduction and Effects of Soil Conditions
In order to perform useful vulnerability and risk evaluations, it is essential to have at one's disposal an automatic procedure of elaboration which provides answers in real time as soon...

Structure of the Expert FRAMEX System on Fracture Mechanics
The FRAMEX expert system gathers, through independent modules, knowledge analysis techniques to be used by an expert for developing a fracture problem diagnosis. The system includes three...

Reliability Study of Randomly Imperfect Beam-Columns
In this study, the effect of random initial geometric imperfections was treated as a set of equivalent random initial forces. This concept enables the direct employment of existing stochastic...

Modeling Hydrologic Components of the Upper St. Johns River Project
Off-line stormwater management areas and riverine marsh conservation areas are the major components of the Upper St. Johns River Project, Florida. Dimensions and operations of these components...

Modeling Water Supply Benefits of a Shallow Lake in a River Reach
Minimum flow and level requirements based on ecological, water quality, recreation and other needs are established and used as limiting criteria in the development of a riverine lake as...

Hydrologic and Hydraulic Calibration?A Case Study (a)
The Addison Creek watershed is in Cook and DuPage Counties just west of Chicago, Illinois. Because the watershed has a history of major flooding, eight major stormwater and flood control...

TRUMPET: A TR20plus Watershed Model?Version 1.04
The TRUMPET watershed model is a microcomputer application which expands upon the widely used SCS TR20 hydrology computer program by providing user-friendly, interactive input and file...

Comparison of Two Methods for Modeling Urban Runoff
The techniques currently available for modeling urban runoff can generally be grouped into discrete and lumped system approaches. The storm water management model (SWMM) provides procedures...

Daily Water Budget Model for Water Resources Management
A daily water budget model has been developed and tested for the Clinch and Powell watersheds located in SW Virginia and NE Tennessee. The model integrates available data and simulates...

Floodplain-Management Plan Enumeration
A branch-and-bound enumeration procedure can improve the search for an optimal floodplain-management plan. The procedure compares the net benefit of all possible combinations of proposed...

Continuous Drainage System Modeling of Jones Run
A generalized package of hydrologic and hydraulic models has been developed for the quantitative analysis of watersheds and drainage networks. The package is called ODWAP (the Old Dominion...

Computing in Civil Engineering
Microcomputers to Supercomputers
This book contains papers presented at the Fifth Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering. Computer applications in specific disciplines are covered. These include construction engineering...

Priority Integrated Pipe Evaluation
The selection of the most suitable pipe for a given site involves the consideration of many factors affecting pipe performance. The factors to consider in sewer pipe evaluation and selection...

Current Developments in Reinsulating/Waterproofing Underground Steam Mains in New York City
The objective of Con Edison's reinsulation project is to develop the materials and technology necessary to reinsulate those steam distribution mains having excessive thermal...

Iowa's Experience with Various Types of Pipe in Natural Gas Service
The Utilities Division, Iowa Department of Commerce, is responsible for the rate, service, and safety regulation of utility companies in the State of Iowa. This paper will summarize a...

Soil Parameters for Design of Buried Pipelines
This paper presents the table of recommended design parameters for soil, shows their physical significance, and compares the resulting stiffness and strength for the variety of soil and...

An Investigation of Field Performance of Reinforced Plastic Mortar Pipes
Every year many new pipe materials appear on the market for various applications. One of the important factors the design engineer and the user should consider while evaluating new products...

Pipeline Rehabilitation with Polyolefin Pipe
This paper provides an introductory discussion on the rehabilitation of a deteriorated pipe structure by insertion renewal with continuous lengths of polyolefin pipe. This sliplining or...
