Response of Buried Flexible Plastic Conduits Under Loading
Structural performance of 75 mm and 100 mm diameter plastic conduits embedded in Lloyd clay were examined experimentally in a laboratory soil bin, and numerically by the finite element...
Large Diameter Plastic Pipe Design
This paper presents a rationale for the design of large diameter plastic pipes for gravity flow applications. This procedure, applicable for all plastic pipes, adapts state-of-the-art...
Design of Non-Pressure Very Flexible Plastic Pipe
There is considerable debate about the correct structural design procedure to be used for very flexible plastic pipe (VFP) - typically glass-fiber reinforced pipe (GRP), reinforced plastic...
Proportioning Reinforcement for Buried Concrete Pipe
The proportioning of reinforcement between inner and outer cages that is specified in ASTM Standard Specification C76 for concrete pipe in sewer and culvert applications is examined in...
Predicting Overland Flow and Infiltration
The kinematic overland flow and the Green-Ampt infiltration equations are coupled and rewritten in terms of several nondimensional parameters. Constant values of these parameters imply...
Aggregation and Consolidation of Phosphatic Clays
The consolidation behavior of aggregated phosphatic clays has been investigated using a bench scale centrifuge. It was determined that aggregation of the clays with phosphogypsum, a waste...
South Branch Rockaway Flood Water Study
The paper reports on a study to analyze in detail various methods of storm water management. The technical studies were carried out in an actual watershed setting to arrive at a recommended...
Entrainment of Interstitial Water by Overland Flow
The paper reports on a study to investigate the entrainment of interstitial soil water by overland flow. A diffusion model was developed to describe the subsurface concentration and the...
Turbidity Control Measures Associated with Reclamation of an Abandoned Phosphatic Waste Clay Pond
Area 3A in the Tenoroc State Reserve near Lakeland, Florida is an inactive and abandoned phosphatic waste clay area. The disposal area has been inactive for several years and the clays...
Ground-Water Drainage to Surface Mines Refined
Changes in seepage flux and hydraulic head (ground-water level) resulting from ground-water drainage into the first and subsequent cuts of a surface coal mine can be estimated by a technique...
A Numerical Model of Water Movement Through Clay Liners
Regulations controlling landfill design typically specify design details such as a minimum liner thickness, maximum permeability of required gradation curves for the clay liner material....
Present Status of Research in Debris Flow Modeling
A viable rheological model should consist of both a time-independent part and a time-dependent part. A generalized viscoplastic fluid model that has both parts as well as two major rheological...
Modeling Aquifer Sensitivity and Leachate Controls
This paper investigates the transport of waste leachate from a leaky containment facility using the computer model of Two-Dimensional Solute Transport and Dispersion in Ground Water developed...
Lake Water Level and Sediment Management?Case Studies in Illinois
Estimation of the sedimentation in the lake is based on the soil erosion rates in the watershed, the sediment transport in the stream system, and lake trap efficiency. Erosion rates are...
Exfiltration Trench Design as Part of a Stormwater Management Plan
The paper discusses a program structured to assist the design consultant or the agency reviewer by means of a menu driven format. A flood routing microcomputer program developed by the...
Overtopping of Small Dams?An Alternative for Dam Safety
A research effort was initiated in 1983 by the Bureau of Reclamation to gain insight in the development of cost-effective modifications to small embankment dams which would enable them...
Planned Overtopping of Embankments Using Roller Compacted Concrete
Three recent projects are discussed where the economy and versatility of roller compacted concrete (RCC) were utilized to allow flood water overtopping of small to medium size embankment...
Embankment Overtopping
Embankment overtopping and dam safety are major concerns of civil engineering and the general public. Very little is known about overtopping events and much less has been published or...
An Infiltration Based Runoff Model For Use With a Design Store
The feasibility of using an infiltration approach for routine runoff prediction has become a reality with the development of approximate infiltration models based on physical principles...
Landfill Liner Hydraulics for Microcomputers
Two different models are presented for the study of sloping bottom liners for landfills. The first is based on the assumption that the leachate volume is uniformly distributed over the...
