Sticking with the Web
After a slow start, engineers are rapidly claiming their territory on the World Wide Web. Here's a look at what they're doing and what they hope to gain�along...
Visualizing the Flow
Digital modeling of passive cooling techniques now enables engineers to create comfortable environments in even the most unlikely of spaces�including glass atriums in the desert. Passive...
Real-Time Construction Staking
Surveying has changed from a profession in which one learned skills on the job and could even become licensed without a degree. Now firms are turning to high tech equipment using geographic...
Shake, Rattle and Map
Researchers at Stanford's Earthquake Engineering Institute are developing an innovative system that uses geographic information systems to predict earthquake damage. A case study shows...
Rapid Slope Monitoring
Use of inexpensive coaxial cable rather than inclinometers has cut the cost of monitoring slope movement at seven potential landslide sites in California. The method involved is called...
Success or Failure: A Tale of Two Projects
Twenty city blocks and a ten year period separated two projects of similar purposes, but with completely different endings. The first one, the Delancey Street Project, took place in 1984...
Riddle of the Riverbed
The design of the Salt River Viaduct as part of the Red Mountain Freeway in Phoenix, Arizona, presented unique geotechnical problems. A cemented silty clay layer underneath the surface...
