Reservoir Water Quality Modeling in Northern Portugal?Some Case Studies
In the last two decades environmental problems have become a major concern in Portugal as the effects of water pollution have gradually impaired the quality of water resources. Mathematical...
Hillsboro Basin Surface Water Management Model
This study presents the results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the 103-square mile Hillsboro Basin located in South Florida. The purposes of the project were to develop a...
Modeling Nutrient Loadings from Croplands in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model, based on the U.S. EPA Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF) provides a framework for evaluating and quantifying nutrient loadings to the Chesapeake...
BRASS Modeling of Lo?za Reservoir, Puerto Rico, for Sediment Management Operations
Loiza reservoir, the principal water supply for metropolitan San Juan, delivers 3.5 m3/s (80 mgd) to the Sergio Cuevas filter plant. Sedimentation...
Modeling Stormwater Basin Effects
This paper presents results of an extension to a study included earlier in these proceedings on the downstream accumulation effects of stormwater detention basins. The previously calibrated...
Optimal Aquifer Management for Controlling Land Subsidence
This paper discusses on-going research in optimal regional aquifer management that has a multiplicity of goals: water supply, subsidence control, and energy management. Current research...
A TVD MacCormack Method for Open Water Hydraulics and Transport
Site Impact Traffic Assessment
Problems and Solutions
Transportation needs have traditionally derived from land use decisions. Site impact traffic analysis is a formalized process that attempts to quantify the need for transportation improvements...
A More Rational Approach to Pavements
It is the intent of this paper to demonstrate how purely probabilistic arguments can be used to formulate a rational (phenomenonological) model of the particulate media that comprise pavement...
Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
This is the proceedings of the second ASCE specialty conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling devoted to the rapidly evolving field of marine environmental modeling. The primary focus...
Migration of Spilled Oil from Ruptured Underground Crude Oil Pipelines in the Memphis Area
This study evaluated the impact of an oil pipeline rupture in the recharge area of a West Tennessee aquifer. Two potential break locations were chosen in the alluvial valley of a main...
An Assessment of Environmental Costs Associated with Crude Oil Pipeline Damage Caused by Earthquakes
This paper presents a methodology for assessing the risk of environmental contamination from oil pipeline leaks caused by earthquakes. Risk is measured both as volume of oil released and...
Response of Model Pile Groups to Strong Shaking
The dynamic responses of small model pile groups to strong shaking obtained primarily from shake table tests are described and analyzed. As a basis for understanding pile group response,...
Cone Models for a Pile Foundation
A single pile in a soil halfspace is modeled for dynamic excitation with disks and their corresponding double cones. This simple one-dimensional strength-of-materials approach provides...
The Superposition Approach to Pile Group Dynamics
A general three-dimensional boundary integral formulation for pile groups is used to obtain a set of dynamic interaction factors for a number of soil profiles and for a wide range of pile...
First and Second Order Dynamic Subgrade Models for Soil-Pile Interaction Analysis
The three-dimensional continuum solutions are used to examine the physical insight of a first order dynamic subgrade model, originally applied by Novak for dynamic pile response analysis....

Empirical Simulation of Future Hurricane Storm Histories as a Tool in Engineering and Economic Analysis
Although the database of past storm occurrences and their detailed histories and geometries at or near a site is essential to planning safe and cost-effective future engineering operations...
A Numerical Study of Kinematics of Nonlinear Water Waves in Three Dimensions
We present a new method for analyzing the kinematics of nonlinear water waves in a three-dimensional domain. This method is based on our extension and generalization of the mixed-Eulerian-Lagrangian...
Design Loads for Sloshing in TLP Pontoons Tanks
Impact of fluid inside the Auger TLP ballast tanks on tank walls was investigated and changes made to the structural design in an accelerated fashion through the use of model testing....
