Comparison of Flush and Chamber Mounted Dynamic Pressure Transducer
Modeling of hydraulic structures often includes the measurement of dynamic pressure fluctuations. The accuracy of the pressure measurements depends upon the geometry of the tap. Flush...

Theoretical Prediction of Temperature Distributions in Airfield Runway Pavements Due to Aircraft Operation
The determination of this transient temperature distribution is important in predicting the thermal effects on pavements due to aircraft operation. In this research, heat exchange at the...

Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands (H?AL)
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the International Symposium on the Hydraulics and Hydrology of Arid Lands which was held in conjunction with the 1990 National Conference...

Taming Structural Vibrations
Vibration is a common problem in buildings that contain large spaces and long spans, especially gymnasiums and dance studios. Research shows that people respond more adversely to continuous...

Mitigation of Wind-Induced Vibration of Tall Buildings
This paper summarizes a detailed study of the sensitivity of building acceleration to changes in structural stiffness, mass and damping and to the eccentricities in the centers of stiffness...

Floor Response Spectra Including Structure-Equipment Interaction Effects
An efficient method for generating floor response spectra with the structure-equipment interaction effects is proposed. Floor response spectra are computed from a prescribed ground response...

Forced Vibration of Sliding Base Structural Systems
An analytical and experimental study of the effect of a horizontal sliding plane on the dynamic response of a single-story structure subjected to harmonic motion is presented. There is...

Earthquake Induced Cracking in Concrete Gravity Dams
An important nonlinear behavior in the earthquake response of concrete gravity dams is the formation and propagation of tensile cracks in the concrete. The earthquake response of a typical...

Inelastic Seismic Design of Concrete Structures
This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art publication on the same subject under preparation by ASCE-ACI Committee 442's Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Inelastic Response...

SDOF Structural Response Model Accounting for SSI
This paper outlines the theory associated with single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structural response models which account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) and evaluates the performance...

Structures for Enhanced Safety and Physical Security
This book presents the state-of-the-art in the general subject of structures for enhanced safety and physical security. The technical papers written are by engineers and researchers who...

Transient Dynamic Response Analysis of Embedded Rigid Foundations
A simplified approach for the transient dynamic response analysis of embedded multiple rigid foundations is presented. The approach is based on approximate time-domain formulations of...

Cross Shore Variations in Heavy Minerals in Beaches of the Barrier Dominated Southeast Atlantic Coast
Cross shore beach sample sets from 102 locations along the barrier dominated Atlantic coast from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, to Palm Beach, Florida were studied to determine if there were...

Economic Impacts of Storm Sewer Design Criteria
This paper discusses the selection of storm sewer design criteria and the resulting economic impacts. Using the Rational Method for calculating design flows, an investigation was made...

Pressure Relief Design Around Pumping Plants
Hydraulic transient protection for an irrigation pipeline pump station can include optimized operating procedures, or design of surge relief equipment such as surge relief valves, and...

Flood Warning Using Wide-Area Computer Networks
Wide-area computer networks are being used with increasing frequency to improve regional response to flood events, coordinate efforts between agencies and communities, and to improve flood...

Hydraulic Transient Analysis of High-Head Hydropower Project
An iterative computer simulation procedure called LIQT (Liquid Transient), which performs simulations of hydraulic transients in closed conduit hydro-power systems, is used to estimate...

Statistical Frequency Analysis of Flood Records
The U.S. Geological Survey, like other Federal agencies, uses Hydrology Subcommittee Bulletin 17 for guidance in statistical frequency analysis of flood records. This paper describes the...

Regionalization of Flood Characteristics
Regionalization procedures are used to transfer flood characteristics from gaged to ungaged locations. These procedures are an extension of the gaging network that allows planners and...

Urban Flood Frequency and Hydrograph Analysis
A set of seven-parameter regression equations was developed for estimating flood discharges at ungaged areas. The regression equations can be used to estimate urban flood discharges throughout...
