Structural Vibrations Associated with Large Incubation Tanks
It is the purpose of this paper to describe the format of an investigation wherein the train of evidence led from an assumption of a strictly mechanical cause to an actual cause that was...

Tunnel Shotcreting�Strength in Fibers
Steel fiber reinforced shotcrete (SFRS) costs less, has a lower rate of rebound and allows modern excavating equipment to advance with fewer interruptions than conventional shotcrete....

Watertightness and Seepage Control in Roller Compacted Concrete Dams
An unjointed mass of roller compacted concrete (RCC) can easily be proportioned and compacted so that it is essentially impermeable and 'watertight. ' Permeability tests of various field-placed...

Distillery Wastes Treated and Recovered Energy Saves $1 Million/Yr
The waste treatment and energy recovery for the world's largest rum distillery (Bacardi Corp., San Juan, Puerto Rico) uses an aerobic digestion to treat distillery wastes...

Surveying's New Promise: Centimeters from Space
One centimeter accuracy at far less cost than surveying by traditional methods is promised by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Signals from NAVSTAR satellites are received by two or...

Probabilistic Characterization of Soil Properties
Bridge Between Theory and Practice
The two objectives established for these proceedings are: (1) to summarize the principles and procedures of probabilistic characterization of soil properties in a readily understood manner...

Defining Productivity
The writer states that effectiveness, not efficiency, is the key to productivity. Efficiency is measured by how fast a task is accomplished. Effectiveness is determined by the importance...

Wetlands Development in Moderate Wave-Energy Climates
For the last three years springs of Spartina alterniflora have been planted on portions of Theodore Island, a dredged material island in Mobile Bay, Alabama. The purpose of the planting...

A Methodology for Open-Water Disposal Site Selection
Pascagoula, Mississippi, is the major industrial region in coastal Mississippi. The existing project, completed in 1965, provides for waterborne transportation from the Gulf of Mexico...

Offshore Dredging - Is it still Cost Effective for Beach Restoration?
Offshore dredging has been the source of sand for beach restoration in southeast Florida since Broward County constructed the first project in Pompano Beach in 1970. However, with increasing...
