From Sludge to Brokered Biosolids
At the end of June, a sludge filled barge pulled away from New York harbor for the last time. It traveled more than 100 mi offshore, where workers unloaded some of the 355 dry tons of...
Portrait of a Manager
Although some are born leaders, most managers are actually created. In a perfect world, the young engineer would receive a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering, specializing,...
Earthquake Hazard Investigative Procedures for Central United States Waterworks
The vulnerability assessment of Central United States waterworks for earthquake hazards is a developing engineering practice for civil engineers in Arkansas, Missouri and states close...
Regional Evaluation of Transportation Lifelines in New York State with the Aid of GIS Technology
Regional evaluation of transportation lifeline facilities which may be impacted by seismic and other natural hazards is of great concern for purposes of emergency planning and response...

Specifying the Offshore Environment
Hindcasting has become a generally accepted method of producing long time series of environmental events from which environmental design criteria can be developed. The need for reliable...
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...
Offshore Structures?Past, Present, and Future
A review of the evolution of offshore platforms concludes that the process is ongoing. New configurations continue to emerge and the range of applicability continues to expand. Today's...
An Ocean Engineering Program for the 21st Century
An increasing number of technological changes will occur during the next decade, and many of these changes will significantly impact engineering education programs, especially in the field...
Static Wave Force Procedure for Platform Design
Since results from the Ocean Test Structure were presented at Civil Engineering in the Oceans IV in 1979, there have been numerous laboratory experiments and a few full-scale measurements...
Three-Dimensional Circulation Modeling of the Coastal and Ocean Environments
Incursion of the loop current, a meandering feature of Gulf of Mexico large-scale circulation, may produce large hydrodynamic forces on the offshore structures. The present study is to...
Fiber Ropes for Ocean Engineering in the 21st Century
Recent advances in synthetic fiber ropes will greatly influence the practice of civil engineering in the oceans during the 21st Century. New fibers have moduli almost as high as steel...
Advanced Structures in Very Deep Water
Factors which are largely economic will lead to the requirement to design and deploy small numbers of large platforms and large numbers of small platforms in water depths of up to 4 km...
Composites for Offshore Applications: A Multidisciplinary Education Program for the Marine Industry
Composites are increasingly being considered for offshore and other marine structural applications. Polymeric matrix composites reinforced with glass, carbon, and aramids offer substantial...
Use of X-Ray Computed Tomography in the Study of Marine Sediments
X-ray computed tomography (CT scanning) is primarily a medical imaging technique. When applied to marine sediments, it responds predominately to the spatial density distribution within...
