Reliable Design-Wave Force Predictions for Seabed Pipelines
The results of three separate field research projects have been pulled together to provide a design formula for maximum wave-induced horizontal force on a submarine pipe. This broadly-applicable...
The SIMBAT Software Package for Stochastic Interpolation of Ocean Wave Kinematics as an Aid in the Engineering Design of Large Floating Structures
Geostatistical techniques of nonconditional and conditional simulation are used in a new public domain computer software package, named SIMBAT, to stochastically interpolate ocean wave...
Hydraulic Design of Offshore Breakwater in Sergipe, Brazil
A Petrobras (Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.) marine terminal was recently constructed in Sergipe, Brazil (Figure 1). The offshore breakwater was initially designed in a conventional way, but...
Stability of Accropode(R) and Comparison with Parallelepipedic Block
This paper describes the tests which were performed on physical models with irregular waves, to determine the hydraulic stability of the Accropode(R)...
Experimental Research on Groyne Stability Under Very Oblique Wave Action
Most of the experimental research concerning the stability of coastal structures is focused on normal wave incidence. However, many of these structures are subject to waves which run predominantly...
Dynamic Design of Deepwater Bottom-Founded Towers
This paper traces the development of dynamic design techniques for deepwater bottom-founded towers by the following: the classification of bottom-founded towers as either `stiff' or `compliant';...
Internationalization of Engineering Professions
The most salient features impacting the development of our deepwater frontier areas are considered. The areas of higher potential for deepwater reserves are identified. The integrated...
Piles Under Dynamic Loads
This proceedings,
RCC at 10
Tens years after the first roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dam in the U.S.�the 169 ft high Willow Creek Dam in Oregon�was completed, the method has gained wide acceptance around the world...
Measured to the Max
Engineers looking to model the behavior of a structure under seismic conditions often ignore the best source of data available: the building itself. Full-scale measurements of vibrations...
Tensile Terminal
Few can miss a fabric roof that covers a 1.45 million sq ft area. The one covering the Denver International Airport's Landside Terminal complex (reportedly the nation's...
Civil Engineering in the Oceans V
This proceedings is a collection of technical papers presented at Civil Engineering in the Oceans V (CEO V) specialty conference held at College Station, Texas on November 2-5, 1992. Initiated...
Pressure Pipeline Design for Water and Wastewater
This committee report,
Dynamic Wind Loads
This chapter is concerned with the motions of cable stayed bridges that arise as a result of wind action. The aerodynamic phenomena that must be considered are vortex shedding, torsional...
Special Considerations for Railroads
In comparison with highway bridges, railroad bridges are generally characterized by a larger ratio between traffic and dead load, larger braking forces, smaller relative width of the bridge...
Seismic Design
For seismic design of cable-stayed bridges, the following characteristics are of importance: The cable-stayed bridges consist of various components with different structural properties;...
Experimental Study of Adfreeze Heaving of Augered Caisson Footings
In order to establish the required depth of augered caisson-type footings in cold regions and their optimal design against adfreeze heaving, an experimental field investigation has been...
Processed-Snow Foundation Design at the Summit of the Greenland Ice Cap
The design and construction of a processed-snow foundation berm for an elevated building located at the summit of the Greenland Ice Cap is described. Weather conditions and design provisions...
Environment One: A Master Plan Study for a New Scientific Research Station at the Geographic South Pole
The existing research station at the geographic South Pole is approaching the end of its useful life. This master plan study focuses on determining the technical and functional requirements...
Cold Climate Building Research at Wasa Base, Antarctica
During the Antarctic summer season of 1988-89 a permanent Swedish research station was erected at Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. The station, named Wasa, is situated on a nunatak. A corresponding...
