Assessing the True Value of Flood Control Reservoirs: The Experience of Folsom Dam in the February 1986 Flood
Over the last 40 years considerable public investments have been made in large flood control storage reservoirs throughout the U.S. and internationally. These projects were typically designed...

TRIM?3D: A Three-Dimensional Model for Accurate Simulation of Shallow Water Flow
A semi-implicit finite difference formulation for the numerical solution of three-dimensional tidal circulation is discussed. The governing equations are the three-dimensional Reynolds...

Integrated Planning Analysis for an Aggregate Mine
Planning and design work of an aggregate mining facility within the Sutter Bypass, a key component of California's flood control system, is being performed by multidisciplinary team of...

Field Examination of a Distribution System Water Quality Model
In the aftermath of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of 1974, numerous models have been established to assess the quality of water and simulate its deterioration in distribution systems....

The EUR Water Station in Rome?Italy
The paper deals the new steel Water Centre realized by ACEA in Rome. The Water Station is destined to manage the water consumption of around 500,000 inhabitants with an output of 3,900...

Vortex Spillway: Test Study on a Hydraulic Model
The paper deals with an experimental study on a model of the forced vortex of Eur hanging reservoir realized by ACEA (Rome). Some vortex characteristics are investigated and, in particularly,...

Optimizing Water Transfers in Urban Water Supply Planning
A number of water supply agencies in the Western United States have begun to integrate water transfers into their overall water supply planning, including the use of transferred water...

Hydraulic and Water Quality Reliability and Resiliency for Water Distribution Systems Under Random Demands
This paper develops a preliminary method to evaluate the reliability and resiliency of water distribution systems under random spatial and temporal demand patterns, including random fire...

GIS and SWMM Applications in Developing the Lake Houston Watershed Management Program
The City of Houston has undertaken the task of developing a Watershed Management Program for the 2,828 square mile lake Houston Watershed in an effort to prevent future degradation of...

Serviceability Stress Limits for Composite Beams
Serviceability limits are increasingly becoming the critical design requirement for composite beams. A set of three illustrative design studies indicates that this is particularly true...

Interaction of Steel Structure and Composite Supercolumns in Spine Structures
Modern architecture has departed from uniform rectangular cigarette boxes for high-rise buildings. A structural system which goes uninterrupted through the common denominator of the varying...

Hybrid Lifted Structure for the Collserola Tower
The structure of the 300 m. Collserola Tower is a hybrid system formed by three combined structural systems consisting of: - a very slender cylindrical concrete shaft: - a large steel...

Strength and Stiffness Behavior of Composite Steel Grid Decks
This paper briefly discusses the historical development of composite steel grid decks. The static and fatigue behavior under bending of filled and unfilled steel grid decks (exodermic)...

Microtunneling: Overview and Case Study
Microtunneling is defined in the United States as a remotely controlled, laser guided pipe jacking process, which does not require personnel entry. This paper describes the components...

The Ivie Pipeline Delivering Water to West Texas
The Ivie Pipeline is a $76,000,000 - 156-mile long water pipeline being constructed in West Texas. This paper describes highlights of the planning, design, and construction phase....

Analysis of Pavement-Pipeline Systems After Cut Restoration
The placement of utility pipes normally necessitates many cuts and fills of the existing pavements. Integrity of pipeline and compatible performance of cut restoration and original pavement...

The Design and Development of A Road/Rail Power Unit
The road/rail power unit was designed and developed by Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation to provide low cost motive power on low-density disconnected rail lines. The power unit...

The Rokko Island Line of the Kobe New Transit System
Because Rokko Island was planned to be a mini-city with all the typical urban functions, it was essential to provide a means of transportation connecting it with the existing urban center...

Transportation Management Systems?The Key to Efficiency
Federal, State, and local governments are under increasing pressure to balance their budgets and cut costs while at the same time respond to public demands for quality services. The current...
