A Microcomputer Based Pavement Design Program
This paper describes a newly developed pavement design program. The performance of a number of pavement structures are projected over the analysis period. Structurally adequate designs...
Interfacing Pavement Management and Design Process
Pavement management systems coordinate all the activities required to provide pavements for the traveling public in a cost efficient manner. Information for the pavement management system...
Resistance Coefficient in a Tidal Channel
In applying a numerical hydrodynamic model to the tidal channel-lagoon complex around Great Sound, New Jersey, it became apparent that the model guidelines for the resistance coefficient...
Structural Reliability Through Machine Learning From Case Histories
The development of a management tool for the control of structural safety is described. Artificial intelligence techniques of 'machine learning' are employed...
Technical Work on Flexible Pipe/Soil Interaction Overview?1990
Research in the laboratory and field have been ongoing for the past seventy years on flexible pipe/soil interaction. Virtually all of the early work was done on steel pipe. During the...
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...
Management Strategies for Baseflow Augmentation
Management strategies for baseflow augmentation fall into the following categories: (1) range management, (2) upland vegetation management, (3) riparian vegetation management, (4) upland...
Development and Implementation of the Wekiva River Basin Regulatory Program in Central Florida
The St. Johns River Water Management District developed a comprehensive surface water management program for the basin. Between 1987 and 1989 the District implemented basin specific design...
Sprinkler System Design for Frost Protection
Both undertree and overtree systems for frost protection by sprinkling are currently being used. The criteria based on experimental results and theoretical modeling have been reviewed...
A Modern Approach to the Design of Grassed Channels
The design of grassed channels can be based on modern fluid mechanics principles. The resistance to flow in a grassed channel is linked directly to the relative roughness of the flow through...
Effect of Water Depth and Groundwater Table on Infiltration from Recharge Basins
The actual effect of water depth on infiltration depends on the depth to groundwater and on whether the wetted perimeter of the basin is clean or covered by a clogging layer of fine particles...
An Evaluation of the Large Mammal Entry/Escape Steps Coachella Canal In-Place Lining Project
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a new system of large mammal entry/escape steps as part of the environmental investigations for the Coachella Canal In-place Lining Prototype,...
Water Quality Criteria for Cyanide in the Similkameen River, British Columbia
The toxicological and environmental significance of the major cyanide compounds is discussed. Data from earlier bioassays studies of cyanide are summarised and the ranges of median lethal...
Design of Steel Transmission Pole Structures
Comparison of Design Rainfall Criteria for the Southwest
The design of drainage and flood control facilities or the management of floodplains for alluvial fans is extremely sensitive to the design rainfall criteria that is used as input to the...
Inclusion of Wetlands in Designated Floodway Studies
The purpose of this paper is to propose a change in the traditional methods and procedures used by hydrologist and hydraulic engineers to define floodways and floodway fringe areas. We...
Management Strategies for Baseflow Augmentation
Management strategies for baseflow augmentation fall into the following categories: (1) livestock management, (2) upland vegetation management, (3) riparian vegetation management, (4)...
Predicting Stream Width and Bank Retreat
The width of streams is dependent on the flood flow discharge which varies from year to year, the bank material which varies from stream to stream and reach to reach, the sediment load...
Hydraulic Bridge Design for Movable Bed Conditions
This paper addresses the practical considerations of hydraulic design of a bridge under movable bed conditions. Hydraulic design tasks include pier and abutment scour calculations, design...
Alignment of Large Flood-Peaks on Arid Watersheds
Bridge and culvert design requires estimates for 25- to 100-year return period flood peaks (Q). Floodplain delineation calls for 500-year (Q500) estimates. Arid western flood series are...
