Comparison of Computed and Observed Velocities at Three Estuarine Sites
The Generalized, Longitudinal-Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport model (GLVHT) has been applied to the Patuxent River estuary, the Raritan River Estuary and the Arthur Kill. The applications...

Structural Reliability Through Machine Learning From Case Histories
The development of a management tool for the control of structural safety is described. Artificial intelligence techniques of 'machine learning' are employed...

Technical Work on Flexible Pipe/Soil Interaction Overview?1990
Research in the laboratory and field have been ongoing for the past seventy years on flexible pipe/soil interaction. Virtually all of the early work was done on steel pipe. During the...

Flexible Pipe Design Revisited
An overwhelming soil factor in the Iowa formula and random deformations at installation affords soil a prominent role in flexible pipe; this, together with a maximal deflection rule make...

Numerical Analysis of Flexible Culverts in Layered Soils
The deformation of flexible culverts is analysed using the finite element method as tool. Results of calculations for installation, traffic and time dependent loads are presented for culverts...

Concrete Pipe Trenchless Technology
Precast reinforced concrete pipe is the most commonly used pipe material for jacking operations. For over 90 years, concrete pipe techniques, procedures and applications established the...

Multidisciplinary Hydrologic Investigations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Future climatic conditions and tectonic processes have the potential to cause significant changes of the hydrologic system in the southern Great Basin, where a nuclear-waste repository...

Natural System Issues in the OCRWM Program
Twenty four site characterization Issues, most of which pertain to the natural system, are presently defined in the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) Program for...

High Level Radioactive Waste Management 1990
The proceedings of the first annual Conference on High Level Radioactive Waste Management, held on April 8-12, 1990, Las Vegas, Nevada, provides information on the current technical issues...

Education and Continuing Development for the Civil Engineer
Setting the Agenda for the 90's and Beyond
The 1990 Forum Proceedings is a collection of papers that were written to provide a basis for deliberation and conclusions at the ASCE 1990 National Forum on Education and Continuing Development...

Pipeline Design and Installation
The proceedings of the International Conference on Pipeline Design and Installation, held on March 25-27, 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, presents information on all aspects of pipeline design...

Sounding Out Buried Waste
Geophysical diffraction tomography (GDT) is a new remote sensing technique for quantitative high-resolution subsurface imaging. It is similar to optical holography where long wavelength...

Sons of Martha: Civil Engineering Readings in Modern Literature
These three stories excerpted from the new book Sons of Martha, compiled by Augustine J. Fredrich and published by ASCE as the first book in a new venture by the Publications Division, introduce the engineer...

The Great American Pyramid
For more than 50 years officials of Memphis, Tenn. have wanted to establish a link to their Egyptian namesake--and they will, through a pyramid. As opposed to its Egyptian forerunners,...

High-Country Hydro
The North Fork Stanislaus River Hydroelectric Development Project is a new 205 MW $267 million hydro plant in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Completed in 1989, the project was the largest...

Florida Bridges Beat the Clock
Today, when budget overruns and delays on construction projects are the rule more than the exception, 11 precast segmental balanced cantilever bridges on two contracts were recently completed...

On the Drawing Board
Reliable and quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for construction materials of wood, concrete, masonry and structural steel are needed. NSF program director John Scalzi...

Strides in Nondestructive Testing
Stress wave methods of nondestructive testing are increasingly used in civil engineering applications. Four case histories of the use of different types of stress wave testing are given....

Bridges Under Surveillance
Although bridge monitoring is still in its infancy, research, pilot studies and field work are underway across the country. While today it's still a pie-in-the-sky goal, the...

Slips Ahoy
Klancnik discusses the markets for marina construction in the 1990s. The past decade saw a boom in the boating industry and in the design and construction of marinas. The market will remain...
