Economic Considerations in Selection of a Roller Compacted Concrete Dam
Roller compacted concrete (RCC) has recently emerged as an economically attractive material for gravity dam construction, replacing the use of conventional concrete and even challenging...

USBR Design Considerations for Roller Compacted Concrete Dams
Current Bureau design criteria for concrete dams are based on analytical methods developed and improved over the years, evaluation of construction methods and post construction materials...

Highway Safety Forum
Advancing Road Transportation Safety Through Better Communication and Cooperation Among the Disciplines
Safe travel on our streets and highways has long received ample attention. However, there remains a relatively unexplored area within this subject. This area is communication between the...

Transportation '85
Abstracts
Abstract only. The abstracts are presented of the papers presented at the 16 Sessions of the Conference, Transportation 85. The papers relate to the following session topics: CAD (ADS,...

Rail and Road Traffic Continue During Bridge Modification
The crossing of Route 15 under the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad Bridge, Bangor, Maine had limited sight distance and marginal clearances. Maine Department of Transportation, therefore,...

Assessing the Effects of Water Contamination
The threats to potable water are examined. An assessment of human ill effects of contaminated water requires a knowledge of the quality of water throughout the world and a corresponding...

Application of Methods of Probabilistic Characterization of Soil Properties
The use of probabilistic methods to describe soil properties has many applications. One such application that has been developed is in the area of probabilistic slope stability analysis....

An Extreme-Value Model for Strength of Stiff Clays
The role of the distribution function in the safety analysis of soil structures is briefly discussed. Comparison of the two statistical distributions - normal and Weibull - reveals that...

River Lock Rehab: A Winter's Tale
Lock & Dam �1 on the Mississippi River between Minneapolis and St. Paul had deteriorated badly but the U.S. Corps of Engineers determined that replacement with a new structure...

Limited Field Inspection vs. Public Safety
The traditional role of the design engineer in providing field inspection services has been an important component of public safety in the construction industry. The various aspects of...

The Sand Dam
Currently under construction is the 443 ft. high sand fill dam. Being erodible, pervious and liquefiable, sand would normally be considered as n unsuitable material to construct LaVueltosa...

Water Supply
The Foothills Project adds 125 mgd (5.5 m�/s) to the Denver area water treatment capacity, and saved approximately $1 million in energy costs in the first year of its operation. The $163...

Prefab Power
The Love Hydroelectric Generating Station, owned by the city of Vanceburg, Ohio, was prefabricated in France complete with all components, brought across the Atlantic and towed to Greenup...

Flood Control
The Hamilton and Riemer reservoirs were constructed by excavating pits below grade to receive flood overflows from adjacent streams. The two reservoirs are part of a 52 sq. mile (135 km�)...

A Systematic Approach to Conducting Seismic Margin Reviews for Nuclear Power Plants
Deviations from the current codes and standards are considered acceptable in a SMR in areas where the design criteria impose significant conservatism provided the intended function of...

Seismic Evaluation of Non-Seismically Designed Existing Magnox Nuclear Power Plants
Special procedures included on-site testing with a portable shake table, low vibration testing using a structural dynamics analyser, and on-site inspections. The low vibration testing...

Behavior of an Operating Floor Subjected to Heavy Load Drops
A structural evaluation of the behavior of a Boiling Water Reactor operating floor subjected to postulated heavy load impact is presented relative to the evaluation of nuclear industry...

Evaluation of Non-Ductile Drilled-in Expansion Bolts
This paper provides background and justification for the design of closely spaced non-ductile drilled-in expansion bolts (bolts). It describes testing used to establish allowable design...

Capability of LMFBR Plant Structures Beyond the Design Base
A study is presented concerning the capability of structures in a loop type Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor Plant, the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP), to sustain conditions...
