Emplacement Drift Temperature Reduction by Cooling Enhancement and Ventilation
The application of cooling enhancement in a short vertical container emplacement layout is analyzed. Two 25 m-long heat pipes upward oriented at 45 degrees are installed at each emplacement...

Boston's Sewage Outfall
The centerpiece of the Boston Harbor cleanup plan will be the sewage plant on Deer Island, which will treat water from 43 municipalities in the Boston metro area�500 mgd to start. In order...

Infrared Thermography Based Pipeline Leak Detection
Computerized Infrared Thermographic pipeline inspection is now a refined and reliable process having been thoroughly proven to be an accurate, cost effective, and efficient technology...

Design Program for Gravity Sanitary Sewers
The Gravity Sewer Design Program Version 2.1 M (GSDP2M) performs the hydraulic design for a conventional gravity sanitary sewer network. GSDP2M is written in standard Fortran 77 for batch...

Application of GIS in Monitoring and Trouble Shooting of Water Distribution Systems
In this study, the suitability of Geographical Information System (GIS) to monitor water distribution systems is investigated. Although GIS applications are widespread, the use of GIS...

Regional Water-Supply Development and CWA Section 404
Regional water-supply development is generally promoted because of potential cost savings and improved system management, but regionalization may also provide an opportunity to reduce...

Diagnostic Options for Pipeline Rehabilitation
The various diagnostic options utilized for solving pipeline problems/failures continue to increase at a very rapid pace. Field reconnaisance and/or man-entry of pipelines is becoming...

The Danby Pipe Renovation System
This paper describes a pipe renovation system and its structural characteristics which is cost effective and technically suitable in all sizes of pipe from 8 inches (200 mm) to the largest...

Rebuilding Buried Pipelines Without Digging
Advances and refinements in trenchless reconstruction technologies now permit system rebuilding of gravity and low pressure pipelines without excavation. Through the use of cured-in-place...

Network Modeling in a Water System with Ferrous Deposits
This paper presents the experiences and results of a network modeling study. A model for the University of Idaho water supply system was developed and verified to the extent possible with...

A Comprehensive Algorithm for Network Calibration
An explicit calibration algorithm is proposed which provides the direct and rapid adjustment of the pipe roughness coefficients and junction node demands that exactly meet a specified...

Block-based Solvers for Engineering Applications
This paper compares the performance of standard linear system solvers, LINPACK, widely used in engineering applications, and PARALIN (a block-based package for linear systems) on the Alliant...

On the Design of Laminated Composite Flange: A Model with Experimental Verification
A parametric model has been developed for the optimum design of laminated composite flange. The study focuses on the evaluation and performance optimization of composite flanges with the...

Pipeline Crossings
This proceedings of the Pipeline Crossings Conference, held on March 25-27, 1991 in Denver, Colorado, presents information on aspects of various pipeline crossings. It covers such broad...

Cables Not in Trouble
Cable-stayed bridges in the U.S. are not, contrary to reports widely disseminated in the press several years ago, about to fail from corrosion. The design, in which primary cables support...

Pipeline Rehab: Underground Options
While simply digging up old pipes and replacing them is sometimes still best, other alternatives can give long life while easing the strain on the community. Trenchless methods for on-line...

Watertight and Earthquake Resistant Joints for Diaphragm Walls
Different types of joints were constructed and tested in the field to evaluate the bond between concrete and partition plate, the effect of tremie pipe location to the quality of concrete...

Pumping In and Pumping Out: Case Histories of Fluidized Sand Bypassing for Channels and Beachface Dewatering for Beaches
New technologies can change management of sand in coastal areas. Fluidization, pumping in additional water beyond the quicksand point, makes a 50:50 sand-water slurry that will flow down...

The 301(h) Waiver & the Clean Water Act in Southern California
Throughout the late 1970's and 1980's Los Angeles City and county governments fought the Clean Water Act from being implemented. An amendment to the Clean Water...

Permeability of Cement Grout Plugs in Basaltic Rocks
Flow tests have been conducted on expansive cement grout plugs with diameters of 160 mm and 200 mm, and length-to-diameter ratios of one, in boreholes in basalt blocks, and in steel pipes....
