Relative Landslide Susceptibility in Davis County, Utah?A Multivariate Approach
The complex distribution of soil properties makes prediction of slope stability extremely difficult in these mountain watersheds. The need to assess these watersheds for their susceptibility...
Erosion and Sedimentation Processes in Irrigation
Soil erosion occurs when fluid in motion detaches and transports soil particles. Sedimentation occurs when the fluid transport capacity decreases. Both the hydraulic forces of moving water...
Effect of Baghdad City Sewage Treatment Effluents on Dissolved Oxygen Profiles of an Iraqi River
The paper presents measured dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles in an Iraqi river in the vicinity of Baghdad City. The effect of the effluent discharges from Baghdad Sewage Treatment Plant...
Response of the Citanduy River to Developments
The sinuous alluvial reach of the Citanduy River in Java, Indonesia has been surprisingly stable in spite of man-made cutoffs which have reduced the channel length from 98. 7 km to 78....
Implications of Nitrogen Transport by the Okanagan River
The long-term mean of total nitrogen load estimated in the river channel above the inlet to Skaha Lake is 906 lb day** minus **1. The apportionment of ammonia and nitrate plus nitrite...
Long Reinforced Concrete Columns
Papers selected by the Reinforced Concrete Research Council of ASCE. This collection contains 13 papers reporting the results of a series of studies,...
Available Compaction Equipment
When discussing available compaction equipment we must keep in mind the purpose of compaction. Compaction is the art of artificially increasing the density or increasing the unit weight...
Construction of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement
Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is the product of a relatively new concrete paving technology in which a zero-slump portland cement concrete mixture is spread with modified asphalt...
Equipment Requirements for Concrete Recycling
Concrete recycling projects have been completed in a number of states. As the transportation infrastructure ages, concrete recycling will become a common construction operation. Concrete...
Evaluation of the Seismic Performance of Buildings
The aim of the paper is to present the different existing methodologies available for the assessment of seismic damage to buildings. The approach aims towards the development of a mini-computer...
Supply Side Engineering
In New Jersey, the Hackensack Water Co., a private utility, and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, a state agency, are jointly completing Wanaque South, a $151 million...
Study of the Collapse of a Reinforced Concrete Model Structure Under Simulated Earthquake Motion
The collapse, under simulated earthquake motion, of a multistory r/c frame structure with columns flexurally weaker than beams (SBWC) is studied. A small-scale model, comprising parallel...
Factory Chic
Developers of the International Design Center of New York have recently spent $163 million to convert an unused chewing gum factory and a former battery plant into a showcase for New York...
RCC: A Dam Rehab Solution Unearthed
Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is fast becoming a popular material for the rehabilitation of existing dams. Several dams have already been rehabilitated using RCC, and several more RCC...
Computer Assisted Pavement
In Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. a 4,300 ft. long test installation of the Contained Rock Asphalt Mat (CRAM) Pavement System is expected to have a 50 year life. It cost a third less than...
Structural Applications of SIFCON
SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber CONcrete) is a relatively new composite material utilizing steel fibers in a cement-based matrix. It differs from conventional steel-fiber-reinforced concrete...
Behavior of Concrete Bulkheads in Salt Drifts
Parameters studies of the behavior of a plug made from expansive concrete have been performed. Such plugs are now being field tested for sealing boreholes, shafts and drifts at an underground...
Timber in Bridges of West Coast
Experience has shown that timber can function very well as a bridge material. Proper inspection procedures combined with a structured maintenance program can improve the performance of...
Effects of High Pressure and Temperature on HCP
