Real Time Data Acquisition in Structural Testing
The process of data collection in real time for structural engineering can be generalized into a process called the real time sequence. The sequence has three major phases: preliminary...

Microcomputer Implementation of Geographic Information Systems
With the more recent development of high performance microcomputers, efforts have been made to adapt. Information Systems (GIS) software to microcomputers for application to a wide variety...

Mainframe to Micro Conversions?The HEC'S Experience
This paper describes the experience of the HEC in adapting, on a large scale, mainframe computer programs for the micro computer user. The paper addresses the technical issues involved...

Estuarine Hydrodynamic Modeling on MicroComputers
The program for a two dimensional finite difference estuarine model was adapted for use on a modified IBM-PC/XT microcomputer. Commercially available hardware and supporting software were...

Computer Errors?Who's Responsible
This paper proposes that both the program developer and the program user share the responsibility for preventing errors in the use of computer programs for engineering design and analysis....

Computerized Construction Progress Control
In 1983 and 1984, an exploratory tunnel was constructed as part of the geotechnical exploration program for two highway tunnels to be constructed for interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon,...

Application of Lotus 1-2-3 to SWMM Preprocessing
This paper describes a preprocessor for the EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) which is based on a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet. Currently-used methods to input data into SWMM are described...

Microcomputer Construction Operations Simulation
This paper summarizes the current status of an ongoing research project whose objective is to collect time data from videotapes of field construction operations and use the data as input...

Urban Stormwater - Quality Investigations by the USGS
U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) urban stormwater investigations, in cooperation with local and Federal agencies, have produced significant national data bases of information and enhanced...

Physical and Chemical Data Needs for Design
The problems and deficiencies in the existing characterisation and evaluation of urban stormwater runoff quality are examined through discussion of adopted and proposed design criteria...

Disciplinary Integration: The Solution
The objective of this paper is to encourage a careful review of the interactions between engineers and bioenvironmental scientists (biologists, ecologists, and ecotoxicologists) as they...

Review of Data Needs and Collection Technology
The quality - or pollutional effect - of urban runoff has not attained a societal level of importance sufficient to support understanding it, much less controlling it. The paper reviews...

Sources of Urban Pollutants?Do we Know Enough?
The non-USGS data from the NURP program are summarized in terms of their availability and adequacy for decision making and modeling. Results of selected projects are reviewed and related...

Lognormality of Point and Non-Point Source Pollutant Concentrations
This paper presents a series of probability plots of water quality data from a variety of discharge sources. It is intended to provide a visual display of the appropriateness of characterizing...

Estimation of Pollution from Highway Runoff?Initial Results
One of the first tasks in the present effort was to assemble a data base of highway runoff characteristics. In the paper that data base is described, the data are summarized, and best...

Hydraulics and Hydrology in the Small Computer Age
The theme of the 1985 ASCE Hydraulics Division Specialty Conference is ?Hydraulics and Hydrology in the Small Computer Age.? The goal of this conference is to demonstrate innovative hydraulic...

Issues and Challenges in Transit Performance Research
Using performance indicators as a management tool in the transit industry is a developing art. Three theoretical issues have deterred progress: disagreement over definitions of efficiency...

An Infrastructure-Based Strategy for Guiding Reconstruction, Development and Reconciliation in Lebanon
In 1979 an agreement was entered into between the CDR, U. S. A. I. D. , and the American University of Beirut (AUB) whereby an interdisciplinary team of AUB researchers would develop a...

A Critique of Arctic Marine Site Investigation Techniques
Arctic marine site investigations have evolved from the need by oil companies to operate in offshore areas beyond the ice shear zone. An overview of the site investigation organization...

Spatial Analysis of Ice Charts
Spatial approaches to ice environment modeling can not only lead to better local hazard predictions but also produce regionalizations that are useful for construction, navigation, and...
