The purpose of this manuscript is to present the methods employed, the types of data generated and the interrelationships of the major analyses conducted for a hurricane evacuation study....
Estuarine Mitigation Policy in Oregon: A History
Oregon's Coastal Zone Management Program requires mitigation for estuarine intertidal fill and removal, by creation, restoration or enhancement of another area to maintain...
Coastal Advisory Committees?Making Them Tick
This paper deals with the positive results of public participation in Coastal Zone Management in Florida since 1981 through the orderly method of a State Citizens Advisory Committee. Florida...
National Repositories for Tissue From Fish
A major barrier to providing an invaluable tool to the environmental sciences is the lack of any defined regional or national repository for tissues and data from fish and invertebrates...
A New Approach to Coastal Management: Britain's Heritage Coasts
In 1970, a new concept of countryside management called 'Heritage Coasts' was introduced into Great Britain by the Countryside Commission, a branch of Government....
More on Japan's Inland Sea Coastal Citizen Movements
In this paper, an attempt is made to update the information on the three coastal citizen movements in the Seto Inland Sea region of Japan that were prsented by this author at CZ'83,...
Funding for Shore Protection: New Jersey's Approach
The history of shore protection funding in New Jersey is rather bleak. From 1959 to 1980, a total of 56,810,080 was spent on beach restoration. Of that total, 27,084,768 came from the...
Modern and Historic Mapping of Tidal Marshlands of San Francisco Bay, California
In this work, studies were made of two marshland sites shown on the old maps that presently remain subject to tidal action. For each site, historic maps dating from the 1850's were accurately...
Coral Reef Modeling: Key Largo Case Study
A numerical model called CORALSIM has been developed for the Key Largo Coral Reef National Marine Sanctuary in the Florida Keys. The model was developed as a management tool to study the...
Watershed Management in the Eighties
The papers included in this publication discuss state-of-the-art methods and current research on management and present case studies on current projects and practices on applied watershed...
Effect of Shallow Trench Construction on Cast Iron Pipelines
This paper summarizes the results of three-dimensional finite element analyses to evaluate the strains and displacements sustained by 4, 6, and 8-in. (100, 150, and 200 mm)-diameter cast...
Successful Use of Trench Box in Sewer Line Construction
Faced with the problems of ever increasing construction costs, more and more methods are being employed in an attempt to keep expenses to a minimum without sacrificing the quality of construction...
Sewer Construction Inspection and Testing
Sewer construction testing is the final portion of the team effort that started with the goal of meeting the requirement for a sewer system for the protection of health and environment....
SPIDA: An Analysis and Design System for Buried Concrete Pipe
The paper presents a description of a new computerized direct design method for buried concrete pipe named SPIDA (Soil-Pipe Interaction Design and Analysis). Also the technical basis and...
Experiences in Concrete Pipeline Construction in Ontario 158-1985
The paper discusses the title subject in terms of concrete pipe fabrication methods and plants, pipe jointing and jointing materials, and construction experiences in the Province of Ontario,...
Numerical Simulation of Soil-Pipeline Interaction in a Ground Subsidence Zone
In this paper, the flexural interaction between a buried pipeline and the surrounding soil is examined by employing a combined boundary element-finite element scheme. The flexural interaction...
Earth Pressure and Surface Load Effects on Buried Pipelines
Rational techniques for analyzing earth pressure and surface load effects, based on finite element analysis methods, have been developed and applied extensively to the design of buried...
Characterization of Soil Arching Above Buried Conduits
Conventional ways of assessing the effects of soil arching over buried conduits were examined by means of finite element analyses. It was found that neither of the conventional soil arching...
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...
A 1-D Saltwater Intrusion Program on the IBM-PC
A one-dimensional finite element program has been developed for use on the IBM-PC as an aid to teaching groundwater hydrology to students. The program uses linear elements and the Galerkin...
