Diffraction Forces on Axisymmetric Bodies
Use of a Green function satisfying the governing differential equation and all boundary conditions except those on the boundary of the structure yields an integral equation, when these...

Approximate Solutions for Layered Foundations
A simple approximation to the dynamic response of foundations resting on layered soil profiles is presented. The approximation is based on an equivalent radiation damping which is numerically...

Nonlinear Response Combination in Seismic Analysis
Simple, approximate methods are developed to evaluate the maxima of response measures which are nonlinear functions of modal responses to seismic input. Examples for such response quantities...

Dynamic Response Moments of Random Parametered Structures with Random Excitation
First and second order statistical response moments are formulated for linear multi-degree of freedom dynamical systems having both random load and random structural characteristics. A...

Response of Embedded Foundations: A Hybrid Approach
A hybrid approach to study the dynamic through-the-soil coupling between adjacent foundations embedded in a uniform soil model when subjected to harmonic external forces and seismic excitation...

Modeling for Finite-Element Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis
The modeling for finite-element soil-structure interaction analysis for embedded structures is evaluated in an attempt to resolve the issue related to the elevation at which design ground...

Boundary Zone Superposition Method for Linear and Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Infinite Domain Problems
The method is applicable to problems where input loads are imposed from within the finite element model or to problems where disturbances outside the finite element model generate input...

On Analysis of Dynamic Structure/Media Interaction
A version of the Global-Local Finite Element Method (GLFEM) is applied to the analysis of soil-structure interaction under steady-state excitation. The soil medium is considered to be...

Bounded State Control of Structures with Uncertain Parameters
The control of linear systems in the presence of set constrained external disturbances has been investigated maintaining the states in a prespecified region by estimating the maximum reachable...

Electronic Computation
The papers included in this book were presented during the thirteen sessions of the Ninth ASCE Conference on Electronic Computation. Topics addressed represent a wide spectrum of computer...

U.S. Navy's First Double Deck Pier
The present single level concept of pier construction limits the pier-side service to the fleet. With the ever increasing requirements for utilities to the ships, and maintenance and training...

Construction Approaches to the Navy's Floating Pier Concept
The subject of this paper is a floating pier which is currently under evaluation as a more cost-effective solution for berthing Navy ships. This new approach to pier design was sponsored...

Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement for Marine Terminals
This paper describes recent intermodal yard paving projects at the Port of Tacoma, Washington which have utilized a relatively new paving process known as Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)....

Marina Design and Environmental Concern
Research initiated by a Florida Cabinet Resolution of August 6, 1974, has generated two models for the evaluation of the impact of marina development on coastal waters. One, a complex...

Efficiency Gains Using Micro Computers in Marina Design Engagements
This paper addresses improved efficiency in marina design engagements using low cost micro computers and low cost software. From the preparation of an offer for service, through design,...

Systematic Design of Marinas for Ice Condtions
A systematic approach and recommendations are presented for design engineers use in planning and building safe docks and marinas, and in reducing the expense of damages which ice causes....

Water Use Planning�Boston Harbor
This paper establishes a methodology for harbor planning based on comprehensively evaluating the water resource, categorizing the vessels which use the harbor, and prioritizing locational...

Design and Construction of Marine Facilities for Ridley Island Coal Terminal
The design and construction of the wharf for 250,000 DWT bulk carriers is discussed in this paper. The terminal project was carried out on fast-track, 23 month schedule, with construction...

Improving Maintenance Performance
This discussion concerns Maintenance Management concepts that emphasize how the human element among Port personnel can be organized and efforts channeled so as to: increase the actual...

Lessons Learned from the Certification of Graving Docks, Marine Railways, Vertical Lifts and Shipbuilding Ways
Because of the hazards which exist during the ship docking, undocking, launching and while the ship is being built or repaired, the Navy has determined a requirement exists for system...
