Modeling Pool and Riffle Sequences in Alluvial Channels
A one-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to predict the hydraulic characteristics of alluvial channels under low flow conditions. For a given steady discharge, channel geometry,...

In 1986, when its six turbine/pump-generator/motor units will be in operation, the Bath County Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project in Virginia will be the world's largest....
Evaluating Pump Characteristics in Developing Countries
How do you assess normal operating characteristics for pumps used in small water supply systems when no information on the pumps is available and when the technicians have little technical...
Design for Ice Forces
Part one of this publication on design for ice forces emphasizes offshore and coastal structures. In this section , seasonal ice conditions typical of offshore and coastal zones are reviewed....
Frontiers in Hydraulic Engineering
These proceedings include approximately 140 papers presented in the ASCE Hydraulics Division Specialty Conference, August 1983, Cambridge, Mass. The principal aim of the conference was...
Design of Manmade Offshore Islands for Ice Forces
Approximately sixty percent of the undiscovered oil and fifty percent of the undiscovered gas probably lies in the sedimentary basins offshore Alaska (USGS 1980). Because of this hydrocarbon...
Design of Navigational Structures for Ice Forces
An overview of ice conditions and the types of ice action that are hazardous to navigational structures is presented. Depending on the circumstances, ice failure against structures occurs...
Urban Hydrology Progress Since 1979 in Australia
This report highlights urban hydrological activity in Australia in the period 1979-1983, since the earlier reports by Aitken (1976) and Aitken and Laurenson (1979). The high level of interest...
Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Japan
After World War II the devastated Japanese landscape was ravaged repeatedly by heavy typhoons causing severe damages. Nevertheless, a hydrological data acquisition system was not adequately...
Cold Regions Earthwork
The purpose of this paper is to outline the state-of-the-practice in cold regions earthwork based on experience gained in the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska. Material properties of fill used...
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
The Journal of Hydraulic Engineering accepts original contributions that describe the analysis and solutions of problems in hydraulic engineering. Technical Notes may present a problem, without solution,...
Addressing Societal Needs of the 1980's Through Civil Engineering Research
Critical issues facing society in ten subdisciplines of civil engineering are defined and the research required to provide solutions to these issues in each area is identified. The ten...
Orlando International: Airport of the 21st Century
The latest technology in airport design from the apron overlays to the terminal itself was incorporated at Orlando International, the nation's fastest growing airport. Now...
Urban Creekside Design Features Parallel Streets
Waterflow in cities�natural streams and rivers surrounded by wildlife, or concrete channels�must be controlled to prevent devastating flooding. Proper landuse restraints and creative designs...
Applying Research to Hydraulic Practice
Approximately 75 of the papers presented at the 1982 ASCE Hydraulics Division Specialty Conference in Jackson, Mississippi are included in this publication. The papers examine many aspects...
Gravity Sanitary Sewer Design and Construction
This Manual provides both theoretical and pracctical guidelines for the design and construction of gravity sanitary sewers. The initial chapter introduces the organization and administrative...
Barrier Islands: Should Engineers Interfere with Nature�
The pros and cons of barrier island development and protection are explored. Most coastal professionals think that pristine barrier islands probably ought not to be developed except under...
Will EPA'S Nationwide Urban Runoff Study Achieve Useful Results�
Approximately 30 studies are now underway across the United States as part of the Nationwide Urban Runoff program (NURP) to evaluate the water quality significance of stormwater drainage...
Flood Consideration for Sanitary Structures
An approach is presented to determine the design basis flood for Sanitary Structures and means to protect them. Flood and flood frequency are defined. Principal classes of flood are evaluated...
Design of Water Intake Structures for Fish Protection
This publication presents the results of a study on available technical information on the characteristics of water intake structures designed to eliminate or reduce damage to fish. Biological...
