Simplified Tidal-Flushing Model for Small Marinas
This paper describes the development and application of a new water quality screening model - STEAM (Simplified Tidal Embayment Assessment Model). This model simulates the first-order...
Marina Flushing Along a Structurally Controlled Canal
Evaluation of flushing characteristics of a proposed marina located along a structurally controlled navigable canal is reported. This canal is operated to maintain the water level of Lake...
Predictive Techniques for Marina Water Quality Assessment
The construction of new marinas in coastal areas requires as assessment of potential impacts on water quality as a part of the permit process. This paper summarizes a study sponsored by...
Conflicts Between Pleasure Boats and Fishing Boats at Marinas in Japan
At present, some half of the marinas operating in Japan have conflicts of various kinds relating to the navigation of pleasure boats. This study discusses the findings of a study on 365...
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...
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...
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...

Geotechnology: An Environment of Change
Today's contaminated materials�soil and water�have been investigated and analyzed by geotechnical engineers for a long time. No other branch of engineering is better positioned,...
Seattle's Good Neighbor Policy
The West Point wastewater treatment plant in Seattle sits on a spit of land jutting into Puget Sound. Close by is Discovery Park, a haven for nature lovers, located on a bluff above the...
Landfill Liners from Top to Bottom
Since EPA began requiring geomembrane liners in 1982, liner system components have multiplied rapidly. At the same time, there has been a movement toward relatively large, sophisticated,...
Pumping Oil, Treating Soil
Oil was discovered on hilltop land in Signal Hill, Calif., in 1921, setting off one of the most wild land rushes the state has ever seen. Some 70 years and 20,000 oil wells later, the...
Excavating, OSHA-Style
When the Occupational Safety and Health Administration implemented its new, tougher trenching guidelines in July 1990, the agency opened the door for inventive excavation techniques. Contractors...
Progressive Failure Probability of Soil Slopes Containing Geologic Anomalies
The variability in the redistribution of stress during sliding failure of a slope is first studied. Presence of a geologic anomaly is shown to affect the failure path pattern and likelihood...
Autocorrelation Functions for Offshore Geotechnical Data
Autocorrelation functions are described. Data from several North Sea sites are analyzed with respect to the vertical and horizontal autocorrelation of a number of soil properties. Based...
Bayesian Updating of Axial Capacity of Single Pile
The paper outlines a Bayesian technique to update predictions of pile driving and axial pile capacity on the basis of pile driving records. The approach enables one to systematically account...
Seismic Hazard Estimation in the Eastern U.S.
Probable seismic hazard is generally estimated considering five elements: 1) seismicity; 2) source radiation; 3) wave propagation (attenuation); 4) site response; and 5) ground failure....
