These proceedings,
Salvaged Sand
Waste foundry sand has been rediscovered as a road construction material now that environmental concerns about its use have been laid to rest. Certain types of waste foundry sand, a by-product...
Rerouting Boston's Utilities
During construction of the Central Artery/Tunnel project in downtown Boston, engineers had to move utility lines over and under both new and existing infrastructure and maintain utility...
Chemical Grouting
Technical Engineering and Design Guide, as adapted from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, No. 24. This manual provides information and guidance for the...
Evaluation of the Tensar ARESTM Retaining Wall System
Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF Service Center. This report evaluates the ARES Retaining Wall System,...
Journal of Composites for Construction
The Journal of Composites for Construction publishes original research papers, review papers, and case studies dealing with the use of fiber-reinforced composite materials in construction. Of special interest...
Catching Up on Composites
Until recently, Japan and Germany were way ahead of the U.S. in composite material technology for construction. Lighter, stronger and possibly more durable than conventional materials...
Lining the Line
Having succeeded in achieving dry stations and tunnels in mined construction, flexible waterproofing membranes are now being used to waterproof cut-and-cover subway stations and old, leaking...
Asphalt Update
Of the $150 million spent in the five-year Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), $50 million went to research to improve the durability and cost-effectiveness of asphalt pavements--on...
Cable Corrosion in Bridges and Other Structures:
Causes and Solutions
This book provides the reader with basic facts concerning cable corrosion and means to avoid or rehabilitate corrosion damage. Corrosion problems associated with cable-supported structures...
Pilot Testing of a Zero-Discharge Treatment Process
As environmental regulations become more stringent, pulp and paper mills are investigating alternatives to conventional biological treatment and discharge of effluents into receiving waters....
Dynamic Optimal Groundwater Remediation by Granular Activated Carbon
Objective functions to describe the operating and capital costs of GAC treatment are incorporated into a control theory model for optimal pump-and-treat groundwater remediation design....
Engineering Features of the Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant
In 1995, the construction of the Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant (RBRPP) was completed. The pumping plant is a research facility for evaluating the biological/engineering features of...
SpatioTemporal Stochastic Open-Dhannel Flow
The de Saint Venant equations are solved as stochastic partial differential equations whose parameters (hydraulic resistance, bed slope, cross-section geometiy, inflow hydrograph, seepage,...
An Update on Surface Renewal Estimation of Evapotranspiration
The surface renewal (SR) method for estimating sensible heat flux density (H) has been shown to give good estimates of evapotranspiratiou (ET) when used in an energy balance equation with...
