Vietnam: Firsthand Feedback
Impressions and advice on doing business in Vietnam. Black & Veatch was the first U.S. engineering firm in Vietnam. Wayne West, BV's man in Hanoi, and James Patton,...
Practical Considerations on the Use of Additives for Shotcrete
Shotcrete is mostly used today for securing rock: in this capacity, it has solved many problems and has become a necessary aid. However, thedegree of utilization of the method is still...
New Advances in Shotcrete Additives: The DELVO System
The DELVO system is a two component, nonchloride chemical system developed to control the dynamics of cement hydration. Concrete, treated with the DELVO system, can be kept in a plastic...
Tutorial on Computer-Aided Design
These tutorial sessions are designed to provide a basic introduction to the use of Computer-Aided Design/Drafting (CAD) in transportation engineering, with particular regard to Civil Engineering...
MSA for VOC Removal
In what may be the first large-scale application of its type, mechanical surface aeration�usually used in wastewater treatment�is removing volatile organic compounds from potable ground...
Fire Retardant Treated Wood
The paper explains how FRTW chemicals react with combustible gases. It describes the two types into which FRTW is divided. Misconceptions about FRTW are also addressed....
Fire Endurance Model for a Metal-Plate-Connected Wood Truss
A numerical model has been developed for predicting the fire endurance of a single metal-plate-connected wood truss. Extensive component fire testing was conducted to develop the necessary...
Time Variant Reliability Under Environmental Loads
Time variant reliability with deteriorating resistance under a stochastic load process is considered. An outcrossing formulation for fatigue degradation is presented, and a simple and...
Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Relief Wells
The U.S. Army Engineer District, Vicksburg has developed an expedient method of rehabilitating arrays of large numbers of gravity flowing relief wells located along the toe of dams using...
Shotcrete for Underground Support V
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the Engineering Foundation Conference held in Uppsala, Sweden on June 3-7, 1990. They are divided into sections concerned with the design...
TVO-92 Safety Analysis of Spent Fuel Disposal
Spent fuel from the TVO I and TVO II reactors is planned to be disposed of in a repository to be constructed at a depth of about 500 meters in crystalline bedrock. The fuel will be encapsulated...
Is An Institute for the Study of High-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Needed in Southern Nevada?
This paper examines key questions about the need for a formal institute that would study storage and disposal concepts for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) in the United States and throughout...
AREST: The Next Generation
Simple mass transport models using constant boundary conditions at the waste form surface and at the host rock boundary do not always results in realistic predictions of the performance...
An Assessment of Coupled Thermal-Hydrologic-Mechanical-Chemical Processes
A literature review was conducted to determine the state of knowledge available in the modeling of coupled thermal (T), hydrologic (H), mechanical (M), and chemical (C) processes relevant...
Findings of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board Task Force on Radioactive Waste Management
Secretary of Energy James D. Watkins created the Task Force on Radioactive Waste Management in April 1991. He asked the group then to recommend measures the Department might take to strengthen...
Geochemistry for High Level Waste: An International Comparison
This paper presents a brief summary of some of the recent and on going geochemical research related to the disposal of high level radioactive waste. For most categories of research (basic...
Experience in Modeling for Environmental Physics and Biogeochemistry
This report is a short review of the author's personal experience on phys.-math. and system-logical modeling of migration and transport processes (MTP) of radionuclides, trace-elements...
