Nonlinear Analytical Models for Interfacial Plug Stresses in Creeping Salt Formation
Analytical and numerical simulation models are presented which predict the nonlinear time dependent behavior of an expanding plug in a creeping environment heavily dependent on the storage...
Designing People Places
Designing people places on the waterfront relies on first satisfying people's needs. The needs of people in public places (both on and off the waterfront) include at least...
Waterfront Development: Getting It Started?The Public Sector Role
In comparison with other forms of urban development - by almost any measure you wish to choose - the waterfront is the most difficult and complex area to develop. Despite all of the obstacles,...
Solving Complex Urban Design Problems
Waterfront redevelopment projects under construction today should be a designer's dream. They offer an opportunity to apply a unified, large-scale vision to unusually large...
Water Use Planning?Boston Harbor
Boston's urban waterfront is at a unique juncture in history. Although the waterfront's historic heavy industrial and transportation uses have all but collapsed,...
Seattle's Central Waterfront
The character and identity of Seattle are based largely on its extensive waterfront areas. The city has approximately 90 miles of shoreline, one of the benefits of possessing a varied...
Norfolk, Virginia Case Study
Through decades of hard work at revitalization, Norfolk has learned from its experience - success and failures. Perhaps the best lesson learned comes from the success of waterfront development...
Plan for Success: The Challenge of Waterfront Development
Waterfront development has been propelled by the relative successes of urban renewal and by the transformation of the modern American economy. Contemporary waterfront developments confront...
Protecting Resources: Urban Demands on Rural Land
Urban areas place substantial demands on rural land, shaping the ways that land is used. The United States today, unquestionably an urban nation, routinely transports water, energy, and...
Conference Overview
An Engineering Foundation Conference organized by the ASCE Urban Water Resources Research Council was held at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire, June 22-27, 1986. This paper...
Conference on Urban Runoff Quality-Objectives
The agenda for this conference on urban runoff quality was structured to expedite technology transfer through the expression, consolidation and evaluation of opinions, facts, experience...
Report on NATO Workshop on Urban Runoff Quality
Major presentations and discussions from the 1985 NATO advanced research workshop on urban runoff quality are summarized. The topics discussed include the characterization of urban runoff...
Urban Stormwater - Quality Investigations by the USGS
U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) urban stormwater investigations, in cooperation with local and Federal agencies, have produced significant national data bases of information and enhanced...
Physical and Chemical Data Needs for Design
The problems and deficiencies in the existing characterisation and evaluation of urban stormwater runoff quality are examined through discussion of adopted and proposed design criteria...
Toxicology and Chemistry of Metals in Urban Runoff
Water quality characteristics such as inorganic and organic ligands, pH, and water hardness will reduce the toxicity of metals through different chemical or physiological mechanisms. Increases...
Disciplinary Integration: The Solution
The objective of this paper is to encourage a careful review of the interactions between engineers and bioenvironmental scientists (biologists, ecologists, and ecotoxicologists) as they...
Review of Data Needs and Collection Technology
The quality - or pollutional effect - of urban runoff has not attained a societal level of importance sufficient to support understanding it, much less controlling it. The paper reviews...
Sources of Urban Pollutants?Do we Know Enough?
The non-USGS data from the NURP program are summarized in terms of their availability and adequacy for decision making and modeling. Results of selected projects are reviewed and related...
Estimation of Urban Storm-Runoff Loads
The United States was divided into three regions, on the basis of mean annual rainfall, to decrease the variability in storm-runoff constituent loads and to improve regression relations...
Urban Runoff and Water Quality Criteria
The significance of water quality impacts from urban runoff could be judged on the basis of existing water quality criteria developed to control continuous point source discharges. Wet-weather...
