Physical Model Testing of Barbers Point Harbor and Marina Complex
A three-dimensional, physical model study of the Barbers Point, Hawaii harbor and marina complex is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering...
The Design & Construction of Marina Martinique, S. Africa
Marina Martinique is a coastal residential marina in the eastern Cape Province of South Africa which will ultimately accommodate 730 moorings and 1100 low rise residential units, most...
Joint Spacing for Airfield Pavement
This paper looks at various factors affecting portland cement concrete(PCC) pavement cracking, with special emphasis on the effect of joint spacing on crack development. A rational approach...
The Effects of Runway Roughness on Aircraft Fatigue Life
A computer code developed within the Flight Dynamics Directorate of the Wright Laboratory was used to simulate the dynamic response of heavy aircraft operating on runways with various...
Tactical Aircraft and Airfield Recovery
This article is based on Captain Bahm's Master's thesis and was co-authored by his thesis advisor, Captain Polasek. The article is reprinted from the Airpower...
Asphaltic Concrete Performance Under High Pressure Tires
A study was conducted by the USAF Engineering and Services Laboratory to evaluate the rutting effects of high pressure tires on Marshall and gyratory designed pavements. Full scale pavement...
Performance of Airport PCC Pavements During Spring Thaw Periods
The portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements at two Wisconsin airports, Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, and Outagamie County Airport in Appleton, were monitored during spring thaw...
Prediction of Airfield Pavement Responses Using Transfer Functions
A methodology is presented which will aid in the evaluation and maintenance of airfield pavements. Predictions of an airfield pavement's behavior to multiple types and magnitudes...
ACN-PCN Concepts for Airport Pavement Management
The aircraft classification number-pavement classification number (ACN-PCN) method is the standardized International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) method for reporting airport pavement...

Guidelines for Electrical Transmission Line Structural Loading
This manual presents detailed guidelines and procedures for developing transmission line structure loads. It is divided into four sections. The first section is concerned with the load/strength...
Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members
ASCE's standard
Air-Water Mass Transfer
This monograph, Air-Water Mass Transfer: Selected Papers from the Second International Symposium on Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces, consists of papers presented at the Symposium which...
Pile Test for Earthquake Repair
Load testing for existing concrete piles was specified as part of a seismic retrofit at the Port of Oakland after the Loma Prieta event. The Port wished to use heavier cranes at cargo...
Anchors in the Desert
The Southwest desert isn't usually thought of as a hotbed of seismic activity, but earthquakes have occurred there. And if Arizona's Stewart Mountain Dam, a double-curvature...
Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7-88 (formerly ANSI A58.1)
The objective of the
Freudenthal Lecture Developments in Structural Reliability
Rather than reviewing the details of developments in structural reliability theory and its implementation over the last few decades, more recent and more relevant reliability issues are...
Probabilistic Assessment of Wind Loading For Structural Analysis
Records of extreme annual gust velocities from 11 weather stations in central-southern Brazil, classified according to orientation (octants) and type of storm (TS and EPS winds), result...
Identification of Critical Load Distributions for Wind Loading
For practical application as well as for sophisticated investigations, the time dependent stochastic wind process has to be simplified in terms of input data to the calculation. Usually,...
Reliability of Bridges in Turbulent Wind
The present study investigates the stability of bridge motion by means of almost sure or sample stability criteria. An asymptotically exact approximation for the top Lyapunov exponent...
