Development of the Long Caisson Type Vertical Breakwater
The width of the caisson of a breakwater is calculated based mainly on the wave force expected to act on the caisson. IN this calculation, the assumed wave force is the peak wave force...
Development of the Double Cylinder Caisson Breakwater
A double cylinder caisson breakwater was recently developed to create a calm sea area in deep and high wave open sea areas. In order to confirm some subjects on design method and construction...
Ecolocy-Conscious Submerged Breakwater
A submerged breakwater makes incident rough waves small when their heights exceed a certain level on the site, though the other waves lower than the level are not so much affected by the...
A Study of Political Decision Method for Remote Island's Environmental Management?Patterns of Remote Islands and a Political Goal
Remote islands are handicapped in their incomes and living conditions, because they are surrounded by oceans, the area is rather small, and also they are far from economic and cultural...
Sedimentation and Flood Protection for the Lower Yellow River
The Lower Yellow River is known for its disastrous floods in the past. After 4 decades without major floodings, rapid economic and population growths along the River have drew concerns...
Erosion Protection at Hydraulic Structures: A Report From the Task Committee
In 1991 the ASCE Hydraulics Structures Committee formed a task committee on Erosion Protection at Hydraulic Structures. The purpose of the committee is to determine current practices in...
Integration of Environmental Management with Reservoir and Power System Operations
Two examples related to the Tennessee Valley Authority's reservoir and power systems operation with environmental performance and management as major goals are given in this paper. One...
Methods for Prediction of Maximum Scour at Coastal Structures
The most common coast scour-related problems are toe scour at rubble mound structures and vertical seawalls, and scour at the base of piles and horizontal pipelines. Existing scour prediction...
Sacramento River Environmental Requirements
Environmental requirements have altered bank protection engineering and construction on the Sacramento River, California. Conflicts between public safety and environmental protection remain...
New Developments in Eurocode 4
The European Community has initiated the preparation of a set of harmonized structural codes. Eurocode 4 is the code for the design of composite steel and concrete structures. The first...
Recent Developments in Safety Research from the Gas Research Institute
Recent developments in Safety Research, as supported by the Gas Research Institute (GRI), have consisted primarily of hardware-oriented applications to various gas industry safety operations....
Evaluation of a Proprietary Tape Coating Alternative for the 157 Mile Ivie Pipeline
A two part evaluation of alternative protective coating systems for the 157 mile Ivie pipeline was made. In Part I, an evaluation was made on the suitability of a proprietary tape coating...
Electrochemical Treatment and Protection: Lessons Learned
Corrosion is recognized today as one of the major contributors to the deterioration of steel reinforced concrete structures. Two electrochemical techniques, chloride removal and cathodic...
Modified Graphite Reference Electrodes
The primary aim of this research was to investigate the feasibility of developing an improved, more reproducible, reversible, and highly voltage invariant graphite reference half cell...
Cathodic Protection for Protecting Prestressed Concrete
Due to the good effect of corrosion protection of reinforcing steel bars, even in concrete highly chloride contaminated, cathodic protection for concrete structure now carried out as a...

Whose Risk Is It, Anyway?
Near the now-closed Smuggler Mine in Aspen, Colo. toxic lead sits beneath the grass of area residents' yards. A major portion of soil in the area has lead above the EPA action...
Laboratory Testing of Stone for Rubble Mound Breakwaters: An Evaluation
The quality of the final stone product hinges on the combination of two factors - rock properties and environmental conditions. The environmental conditions associated with production...
Improving Stone Placement Specifications
Thorough preparation of stone placement specifications can go a long way toward keeping projects on track. But developing well-prepared placement specifications is not easy. It requires...
