Making a Map of Public Health Hazards
Accurately deducing the long-term exposure of community members to health hazards has always been a challenge for engineers. In 1993, the town of Somers, Conn., discovered a residential...
Grand Gusset Failure
In May 1996, structural failure forced the closure of twin 850 ft long arched truss bridges, each carrying two lanes of interstate traffic over the Grand River, 30 mi east of Cleveland....
Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete III
In Irsee, Germany an international conference on composite construction was held from June 9-14, 1996. It provided a forum for researchers and practitioners involved with composite construction...

This proceedings,
Air Transportation System
This section discusses air transportation systems, including their facilities, equipment, and operations. Also present is a guide for performing a post-earthquake investigation of air...
Railways
This section provides an overview of railways and their major components and subsystems. Also present is a guide for a post-earthquake investigation of railways....
Transportation System Management
This section provides an overview of transportation systems management. Also present is a guide for a post-earthquake investigation of transportation systems management....
Examples
This section includes several examples that illustrate many of the concepts presented in this guide. The examples and load cases have been simplified and may not represent actual design...
Containing Spills and Fire
A $95 million project to consolidate five jet fuel supply facilities that serve Los Angeles International Airport is nearing completion. The project shows how codes for wastewater-treatment...
Accessing Atlantic City
Construction of the 2.2 million sq ft Atlantic City Convention Center is well under way. With 486,000 sq ft of exhibition space, the center and accompanying rail terminal could help restore...
Intelligent Transportation Education
The comprehensive traffic surveillance study for the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) began in late September 1993. The project involved the study of available traffic management...
Effects of Approach Flow Conditions on Pump Sump Design
An important obstacle to the development of a generalized sump design is the variability of flow conditions in approach areas. The geometry and alignment of the areas immediately upstream...
Potential Flow Instability Theory and Bed Forms
An extended, generalised version of two-dimensional linearised potential flow theory of fully unsteady fluid flow-sediment bed interaction is presented. In contrast to previous potential...
Feasibility of Modeling Phosphorus Dynamics in Stormwater Wetlands
This research, underway at the University of Guelphs School of Engineering, studies the feasibility of modeling phosphorus assimilative capacity by stormwater wetlands in cold climates....
Design and Implementation of a Multi-Faceted Site Remediation
This technical paper presents a case history of the design, construction, and start-up of a multi-faceted site remediation system. The case history includes a description of the site background,...
Comparative Simulation of Oil Weathering
Oil spills in the aquatic environment, an unfortunately more and more common occurrence, cause contamination effects which negatively impact water quality, health of ecosystems and water...
Comparison of Methods for Sizing Secondary Treatment Filters for Wastewater
The trickling filter process in which a bacterial biomass is allowed to grow attached to a filter medium of rock or plastic is effectively used for removal of organic materials in domestic...
A Surface Collection Design Approach on the Lower Columbia River
Surface collection and bypass of downstream migrating juvenile salmon has the potential to help improve the survival of the Columbia River salmon population. However, surface passage on...
