Oil Spill Impacts on Aquifers
This study attempts to evaluate the seismic hazards along a forty inch pipeline and the impact of a pipeline rupture in the recharge area of the aquifer serving most of West Tennessee....

Conductivity and Transit Time Estimates of a Soil Liner
A field-scale soil linear was built to assess the feasibilty of constructing a liner to meet the saturated hydraulic conductivity requirement of the U.S. EPA (i.e., less than 1 ? 10^-7...

Remediating A Fire Site
Machin and Ehresmann describe remediation of a 15 acre fire site at Fort Huachuca, Ariz. An investigation after the fire showed that all of the debris contained asbestos. Sampling confirmed...

A Knowledge-Based Approach to the Design of Highway Bridge Foundations
This paper discusses the development of a prototype expert system using a commercially available expert system shell. The system is to be used for the selection of highway bridge foundations....

A Bridge Management System Module for the Selection of Rehabilitation and Replacement Projects
A procedure, developed for the state of Texas is reported, which determines an allocation budget for bridge replacement and rehabilitation projects, using multi-attribute criteria and...

A Microcomputer Aided Bridge Management System
This paper presents a microcomputer based software system suitable for a local agency which will permit a local bridge system to be systematically evaluated with the use of a bridge management...

Modeling and Data Uses in Hydraulic Transport Investigations, New Bedford Estuary, Mass.
Field measurements, laboratory tests, and models were used together to make transport predictions for the sediments and dissolved materials which would be released by proposed dredging...

A Field and Modeling Study of Fine Sediment Transport in Shallow Waters
As part of a major effort to understand and quantify the phosphorus dynamics in Lake Okeechobee, the transport of fine sediments has been studied by combining numerical modeling with an...

Some Considerations in Model and Field Data Selection for Circulation Studies of the James River Estuary
The major features of the circulation of the lower James River estuary are presented. The capabilities of numerical hydrodynamic models in reproducing these features are discussed, leading...

The Chesapeake Bay Hydraulic Model: Construction, Operation and Verification
This paper discusses significant aspects of the construction, operation, verification and testing at the Chesapeake Bay Hydraulic Model which was operational from May 1976 to August 1984....

Pipeline Design and Installation
The proceedings of the International Conference on Pipeline Design and Installation, held on March 25-27, 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, presents information on all aspects of pipeline design...

Sounding Out Buried Waste
Geophysical diffraction tomography (GDT) is a new remote sensing technique for quantitative high-resolution subsurface imaging. It is similar to optical holography where long wavelength...

Florida Bridges Beat the Clock
Today, when budget overruns and delays on construction projects are the rule more than the exception, 11 precast segmental balanced cantilever bridges on two contracts were recently completed...

On the Drawing Board
Reliable and quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for construction materials of wood, concrete, masonry and structural steel are needed. NSF program director John Scalzi...

Strides in Nondestructive Testing
Stress wave methods of nondestructive testing are increasingly used in civil engineering applications. Four case histories of the use of different types of stress wave testing are given....

Bridges Under Surveillance
Although bridge monitoring is still in its infancy, research, pilot studies and field work are underway across the country. While today it's still a pie-in-the-sky goal, the...

Northumberland Strait Crossing Project?A Public-Private Venture
This major project has challenged the Canadian Government to produce innovative requirements in environmental planning, financing and security, and facility performance. It requires a...

Translating Bridge Tolls to a New Bridge: The Third Dartford River Crossing
In March 1986, the Department of Transport of the United Kingdom Government published Guidelines inviting promoters for the submission of private sector bids for the design, construction...

Finite Element Analysis of Hillslope Variations in Surface Runoff
Watershed management decisions are aided through an accurate understanding of hydrologic processes. The finite element method applied to surface runoff with spatially variable hydraulic...

Neutron Meters in Statewide Irrigation Programs
These programs have ranged from University demonstrations of new technologies on through completely locally funded and operated programs. The most significant interest has been from those...
