Operation and Maintenance Plan for Marinas
A operation and maintenance (O&M) plan for marinas is presented to describe the process and establish basic parameters that can be used as guidelines to more comprehensive site-specific...
Avalon Harbor Utilization
Avalon Harbor is a destination resort harbor which serves the Southern California boating community and recreation public. The harbor is a roadstead mooring in a partially protected cove....
Lessons from Hurricane Hugo: Recommendations for Marina Operation and Design
Hurricanes are not new to South Carolina, but with the recent development of the coast, many new and unseasoned boaters have located in the area. Since Hurricane Hazel in 1954, South Carolina...
California Department of Transportation Seismic Retrofit Program: The Prioritization and Screening Process
Following the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, the California Department of Transportation was designated as the lead agency to seismically retrofit all 23000+ public owned bridges...
Viscoelastomeric Connections in Seismic Structures
Nonlinear Kelvin and Maxwell impedances connect lumped masses to form arbitrary networks. Viscoelastomer-steel composite moment connections are modeled similarly, using auxiliary masses,...
Frictional Base Isolation Using a Layered Soil-Synthetic Liner System
The application of smooth geotextile liner materials to seismic base isolation of shallow foundations has been evaluated using laboratory testing and numerical analysis. Laboratory testing...
Seismic Hazard Analysis of Buried Pipeline for Design
This paper concerns mainly the following three items on seismic hazard analysis of buried pipeline for design: (1) effects of pipeline length on risk, (2) effects of local site conditions...
The Effects of Runway Roughness on Aircraft Fatigue Life
A computer code developed within the Flight Dynamics Directorate of the Wright Laboratory was used to simulate the dynamic response of heavy aircraft operating on runways with various...
Pavement Materials for ASTOVL Aircraft Application
Jet blast impingement on concrete is a problem today and will worsen when the new vectored-thrust aircraft become operational. Ground erosion has already been observed under the auxiliary...
Asphaltic Concrete Performance Under High Pressure Tires
A study was conducted by the USAF Engineering and Services Laboratory to evaluate the rutting effects of high pressure tires on Marshall and gyratory designed pavements. Full scale pavement...
Modified Asphalt Binders for Military Airfield Pavements
This report documents a laboratory-based research effort to determine the effects of asphalt modifiers and alternate binders on asphalt airfield pavements. The modified binders were tested...
Concrete Mixture Evaluation and Acceptance for Air Field Pavements
Evaluation of the strength of portland cement concrete using flexural strength and compressive strength tests is examined. Problems with the use of flexural testing in the field are discussed...
Recycling Bituminous Runway Pavement into Aggregate Base Course
The paper discusses the development of recycling existing bituminous runway pavement by pulverizing into aggregate base course. To best explain the design, construction procedures and...
A Concrete Alternative to Runway Reconstruction
Faced with the prospects of losing commercial air service for up to two months, the Charleston County Aviation Authority, the Charleston Air Force Base and their engineers had to look...
Alternative Airfield Pavement Quality Control
In recent years, the cost of maintaining quality control during airfield construction projects has concerned airport operators and engineers alike. This paper addresses the possibilities...
Prediction of Airfield Pavement Responses Using Transfer Functions
A methodology is presented which will aid in the evaluation and maintenance of airfield pavements. Predictions of an airfield pavement's behavior to multiple types and magnitudes...
