Analysis of Selected Prototype Wave and Runup Data
An investigation of wave runup using video camera technology at Duck, N.C. is discussed. Results are provided from a subset of the runup experiment and wave runup level probability density...
Air Concentration Measurements in Highly-Turbulent Flow on a Steeply-Sloping Chute
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) stepped spillway overtopping protection research program required air concentration profile data be obtained during testing in a large, 15.2-m-high...
Costs and Benefits of Meeting the San Francisco Bay Copper Objective by Regulating Small Treatment Plants
Metals in aquatic environments, even in very small amounts, are of concern because of potential toxicity to aquatic life forms. Copper is of particular concern in the San Francisco Bay...
Theoretical study of unstable waves in the rapids of the river
This paper examines how the velocity distribution in free-surface flow affects the kinematic and dynamic velocities of disturbance waves on hillslopes or in high-gradient rivers, thereby...
Considerations in 2-D Modeling of Hydraulically Steep Flow
Simplifications in the equations used to describe shallow water flow lead to some difficulties in modeling supercritical flow. The hydrostatic assumption produces two significant differences...
Flow and Chloride Transport in the Tidal Hudson River, NY
A one-dimensional dynamic-flow model and a one-dimensional solute-transport model were used to evaluate the effects of hypothetical public-supply water withdrawals on saltwater intrusion...

Fire Testing of Shotcrete Samples in a Small Furnace
The fire resistance behaviour of 8 shotcrete samples were investigated in a laboratory furnace applying ISO 834 standard test. Shotcrete was applied on 20 to 30 cm thick granite slabs...
Scoping the Monitoring Instrumentation to Meet Repository Design and Construction Needs
This paper discusses categories of instruments that are available and recommended for consideration to monitor the engineering performance and interactions of the geologic media, groundwater,...
Study of Failures of Towers and Tall Buildings Under Wind Loading
In this paper, two kinds of wind-excited limit states on a tall structure are investigated and corresponding formulae for the limit wind pressures are presented. In solving the wind-excited...
Field Measurements of Wind-Induced Pressures on Roofs of Low Buildings
Full-scale measurements have been carried out on an experimental building, 3.3 m high, beside the football field at the Loyola campus of Concordia University. Wind-induced pressures have...
Rock Structure in Relation to Concrete Dams on Granite
Granite is often considered to provide an excellent foundation for a concrete dam and a great many dams are thus founded on granitic rocks. Although granitic rocks lack the bedding of...
Rehabilitation of a Toe Drain
Old or improperly designed toe drains can cause trouble for embankment dams. Toe drains installed without proper filtering can provide an easy course for internal erosion and piping of...
Development of High Performnance Shotcrete (Theoretical Considerations)
This paper presents some theoretical considerations for studies on high performance wet-mix shotcrete. A new laboratory shotcrete pump and rheometer are being developed to study the effects...
The Role of Fault Zone in Affecting Multiphase Flow at Yucca Mountain
Within Yucca Mountain, the potential High Level Nuclear-Waste Repository site, there are large scale fault zones, most notably the Ghost Dance Fault. The effect of such high-permeability,...
Field Investigation of Mining-Induced Seismicity on Local Geohydrology
Hydraulic response of the rock mass due to earthquakes is one of the concerns in the assessment of the long-term performance of a repository. Studies performed by other researchers indicated...
Hydropulse Tomography for Identifying 3-D Permeability Distribution
For the purpose of identifying subsurface permeability distribution, a geotomographic method named Hydropulse Tomography (HT) was developed. As observation data, HT uses hydraulic pressure...
Instrumentation Requirements for the ESF Thermomechanical Experiments
In situ thermomechanical experiments are planned as part of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project that require instruments to measure stress and displacement at temperatures...
