Lessons from Hurricane Hugo: Recommendations for Marina Operation and Design
Hurricanes are not new to South Carolina, but with the recent development of the coast, many new and unseasoned boaters have located in the area. Since Hurricane Hazel in 1954, South Carolina...
Rack Storage Marinas in the 1990's
The rack storage marina industry has evolved from providing warehouses for boats under 25 feet, to being on the threshold of the hospitality industry with club-like facilities, serving...
Space Saving Dry-Stack Boat Storage Facility
Given sales and demographic data of recreational boating, urban dry-stack marinas will be the trend of the future where there is no room to expand. This paper describes a modern automated...
Dry Stack Operations
The design and operation of dry stack boat storage systems have undergone a significant evolution during the past two decades. Now, in the decade of the nineties, these systems are becoming...
Marina Parking Study
This marina parking study establishes a rationale for determining parking demand at marinas on the north shore of Long Island Sound in Connecticut and New York. The study was performed...
Design and Construction of Boat Launching Ramps
Although boat launching ramps are not 'high tech' facilities compared to many other types of waterfront construction, there is a continuing void of knowledge,...
Facility Accessibility Through Barrier-Free Design
This paper will outline the background, methodology and approval process used in developing national uniform design standards for barrier-free access to public boating and fishing facilities....
Viscoelastomeric Connections in Seismic Structures
Nonlinear Kelvin and Maxwell impedances connect lumped masses to form arbitrary networks. Viscoelastomer-steel composite moment connections are modeled similarly, using auxiliary masses,...
Frictional Base Isolation Using a Layered Soil-Synthetic Liner System
The application of smooth geotextile liner materials to seismic base isolation of shallow foundations has been evaluated using laboratory testing and numerical analysis. Laboratory testing...
Performance of Liquid Storage Tanks during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake
Utilities and industrial facilities in the strong shaking area of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake include a large inventory of tanks of all types. The earthquake induced a few incidents...
Seismic Hazard Analysis of Buried Pipeline for Design
This paper concerns mainly the following three items on seismic hazard analysis of buried pipeline for design: (1) effects of pipeline length on risk, (2) effects of local site conditions...
Pavement Design by Elastic Layer Theory
The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station has been developing methodology by which airport/airfield pavements can be designed based on elastic layered analysis for the Federal...
Pavement Design for the New Denver International Airport
Denver International Airport is the first new major U.S. airport in twenty years. Primary airfield elements in Phase I development include 5-12,000 foot runways and 1-16,000 foot runway,...
Runway Roughness Measurement, Quantification and Application: The Boeing Approach
The measurement of runway roughness and the determination of the severity of runway roughness have long been the subject of nebulous discussion and esoteric description. By considering...
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...
Pavement Experiences Indicative of Needs to Consider Design and Specification Revisions
Recent experiences on two airfield paving projects have indicated some problem areas which may warrant further consideration in design manuals and specifications. 1. Construction of the...
Aircraft Flexible Pavement Design in Australia
After World War Two, aircraft pavement design practice in Australia was largely developed from the work done by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The C.B.R. pavement design method now differs...
