Effects of Shoulder Reductions on Highway Safety
In order to accomodate existing traffic and projected growth, it is essential that the most effective use be made of the limited right-of-way available for freeways. It is important to...

Parameter Optimization of Dynamic Routing Models
The methodology utilizes approximate cross-sectional properties represented by separate power functions for channel and floodplain, and a very efficient optimization algorithm for determining...

Routing Comparisons in Natural and Geometric Channels
A method of establishing composite geometric cross section shapes hydraulically similar to natural cross sections with flood plains is proposed. The method is based on the nondimensionalized...

Composite Columns?Design and Examples for Construction
The new German standard DIN 18806, part 1 gives the rules for the design of composite columns. The general method, taking into account all the inhomogeneties of the two materials steel...

Hydraulic Profile Computation Using CADD
The data preparation can also be performed by directly recording onto a computer tape the aerial survey cross section ground points and the field survey work. A computer program can then...

Computer Aided Design of Reinforced Concrete
An interactive computer-aided design (CAD) program for the design of reinforced concrete members is herein described. The program, called ECPRS, designs reinforcement and performs all...

Flanged Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members
Design aids in the forms of charts and tables are available for design of reinforced concrete flexural members. Many of these design aids were developed for design of rectangular cross...

Structural Section Properties
A computer program is featured that is useful for determining section properties of geometric shapes used in a variety of applications, such as the use of built-up or nonstandard sections....

Ethics: Wisconsin Section Sparks Timely Discussion
Eight case studies of ethical questions were debated in an audience participation panel format, at the 1975 Wisconsin Section ASCE Annual Meeting. The program was judged successful for...
