Comparison of Predicted and Measured Dynamic Behavior of Allied Bank Plaza
Structural engineering aspects of a monitoring program to measure Allied Bank Plaza tower's dynamic response to wind are presented. In particular, field data developed during...

Planning for Deep-Draft Navigation Channels
This paper summarizes the trends in seaboard trade, the major commodities for the world, and the share captured by U. S. ports. The discussion includes the new developments of port planning...

Tiebacks for Bulkheads
Tiebacks were once used primarily to support temporary structures such as supported excavations. However, the use of tiebacks has been gradually expanded to include the support of permanent...

Forensic Engineering
Learning from Failures
The activities and qualifications of the Forensic Engineer are summarized in the nine papers published in this book. Procedures for failure investigation are discussed along with failure...

CAD Goes into Analysis
In the past, computer analysis of a design was always a separate and distinct step from CAD. Now, an increasing number of systems are combining the two. One system, SSCAD, allows the engineer...

Physics-Based Modeling of Lakes, Reservoirs, and Impoundments
This book provides an overview of considerations that apply to modeling flow and transport in lakes, reservoirs, and impoundments using equations based on conservation principles. Specific...

Interpretation of CPT Data for Design of Earth Dams Near Tehachapi, California
The Static Cone Penetration Test (CPT) was used to obtain needed geotechnical information for design and construction of two small earth dams near Tehachapi, California. The basic CPT...

Comparison Between In-Situ Test Results
Penetration tests provide a means of obtaining data from which estimations can be made of the bearing capacity, settlement and liquefaction potential of the soils tested. Empirical formulae...

Estimating Climate Change From Hydrologic Response
In the eighty-one hydrographically closed basins within Nevada many large lakes developed during the pluvial climate of the Pleistocene. Pluvial lake area and tributary basin area have...

Issues in Specifying Climate Forcing of Variability
Several issues arise in the specification of the role of climatic forcing of variability of water resources. The effects of human intervention must be removed so that the climate signal...

Intelligent Central Database System for Synchronized Distributed Processing of Large Hydrologic Packages in Local Area Networks
The nodes of a local area network can be dedicated to the independent routines of a large hydrologic/hydraulic package. The server of the network can be dedicated to the control of the...

Surface Water Analysis for Ground Water Simulation
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has applied a hydrologic-economic modeling (HEM) system to the analysis of ground water use in the San Joaquin Valley. An important component...

Co-ordinated Microcomputer-Based Rain Data Network and Modeling Environment
A co-ordinated microcomputer controlled rainfall collection network has been designed which includes drop counting precipitation sensors, tipping bucket raingauges, Z80-A microprocessor...

Linking Data Base Management and Computer Models
Storing, tabulating, and graphing large volumes of data, not usually a strong point of a computer model, is more appropriate for a data base management system. A blend of these two technologies,...

A Customized Database Management System for Watershed Modeling
When large watershed areas are being studied and continuously monitored, it is desirable to create a database management system (DBMS) that provides the necessary capability to build and...

Performance of a Deterministic Storm Runoff Model
The paper discusses model comparisons based on a Tulsa, Oklahoma, case study. Modeling strategies were explored, four of which were modeled in detail because of the extremes in range of...

The Rx for Relief from Equipment Failure
A predictive maintenance program was developed for a treatment plant with a large number of pieces of critical mechanical equipment. Using an inexpensive, portable vibration meter, data...

Applied Hydro System Operations Models
The paper discusses computer simulation of system operations. Computer programs that simulate operations through future time periods on hourly, daily or monthly time periods are routinely...

Operations Models of the Columbia Reservoir System
Several of the computer models used in management of the basin's reservoir system are described. Among the models discussed are the Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation...

Rainfall-Loss Parameter Estimation for Illinois
The U. S. Geological Survey is currently conducting an investigation to estimate values of parameters for two rainfall-loss computation methods used in a commonly used flood-hydrograph...
