Composites for Offshore Applications: A Multidisciplinary Education Program for the Marine Industry
Composites are increasingly being considered for offshore and other marine structural applications. Polymeric matrix composites reinforced with glass, carbon, and aramids offer substantial...

Use of X-Ray Computed Tomography in the Study of Marine Sediments
X-ray computed tomography (CT scanning) is primarily a medical imaging technique. When applied to marine sediments, it responds predominately to the spatial density distribution within...

Internationalization of Engineering Professions
The most salient features impacting the development of our deepwater frontier areas are considered. The areas of higher potential for deepwater reserves are identified. The integrated...

Old Problems and New Challenges in Marine Geotechnical Engineering
The discipline of marine geotechnical engineering originated nearly five decades ago, primarily as a result of the offshore oil and gas industry. As this industry moved into deeper waters,...

Utilization of Waste Materials in Civil Engineering Construction
Industrial growth has increased the volume of wastes generated from energy production, mining, industrial processes and civil works. For economic and related reasons, the use of waste...

Electrokinetic Cleanups
Electrokinetic remediation of contaminated soils is a relatively new research area. Electrokinetic phenomena can be used to create barriers, and move particles, including pollutants such...

Small Utility GIS
Geographic information systems are revolutionizing much of the civil engineering field, providing engineers and managers with a new tool to relate databases and maps. But despite the benefits...

Measured to the Max
Engineers looking to model the behavior of a structure under seismic conditions often ignore the best source of data available: the building itself. Full-scale measurements of vibrations...

Instrumenting the `Y'
Segmental bridges are still relatively new to the U.S. and questions persist about their design and behavior. To expand the knowledge base, a number of laboratory and field studies have...

The Caisson Solution
Detroit is expanding its wastewater treatment plant to drastically reduce combined sewer overflows. The expansion, however, is being done on an extremely congested 4 acre tract of land...

Norway's Olympic Cavern
A mountainous task had been undertaken by Norwegian firms in constructing the world's largest in-mountain colosseum for the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Norway. The Norwegian...

Put to the Test
In the construction industry, the concept of life-cycle cost applies not only to the infrastructure itself, but to the materials that go in to building that infrastructure. To improve...

Civil Engineering in the Oceans V
This proceedings is a collection of technical papers presented at Civil Engineering in the Oceans V (CEO V) specialty conference held at College Station, Texas on November 2-5, 1992. Initiated...

Structures Congress '92
Compact Papers
These Congresses provide a forum for the practicing engineers, researchers and educators. The involvement of numerous ASCE Divisions has helped to create a program that will appeal to...

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice
The Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice presents issues of broad professional interest and diverse views of engineering education, and professional practice. Papers examine...

Calendar: Bridges 1993
Featured bridges are: West Lilac Road Bridge (CA); Pine Bank Arch (NY); South Presa Street Bridge (TX); Peacock Lock (PA); Northampton Bridge (PA); Bridge of the Gods (WA); Main Street...

Safety Factors, Loads, and Impact
The loads given in this chapter are intended for general guidance only (including wind, ice, stream flow, etc.). Maximum deflections and rotations may likewise vary with national codes....

Cables and Anchorages
The following types of cables are generally used in cable stayed bridges: Parallel bars; Parallel seven wire strands; Parallel or semi-parallel wire cables; Locked coil strands and ropes;...

Dynamic Wind Loads
This chapter is concerned with the motions of cable stayed bridges that arise as a result of wind action. The aerodynamic phenomena that must be considered are vortex shedding, torsional...

Special Considerations for Railroads
In comparison with highway bridges, railroad bridges are generally characterized by a larger ratio between traffic and dead load, larger braking forces, smaller relative width of the bridge...
