Oxygenation of Releases from Richard B. Russell Dam
The oxygen injection system at the Richard B. Russell project has a continuous injection system located 1 mile upstream of the Russell damsite but also has supplemental injection capability...
The United Kingdom Approach to Rehabilitation
Following concern over the condition and performance of its underground assets, the UK Water Industry has developed strategies for cost effective sewer and water main rehabilitation. These...
Hydraulic Reliability of Urban Water Distribution Systems
Conventional planning and design approaches for urban water distribution systems consist of trial and error procedures to select piping network configurations, pipe sizes, storage capacities...
Model for Optimal-Risk Based Water Distribution Network Design
Various models using a variety of optimization techniques were developed for determining pipe diameters, network layout, pump capacities, and other design parameters. The objective function...
A New Methodology for Modelling Water Pipe Breaks
A new methodology for modelling breaks in large diameter cast-iron water pipes is proposed. The need to consider two separate stages of deterioration (early stages with fewer breaks and...
Grand Canyon Water Line by Directional Drilling
The South Rim Village at Grand Canyon National Park obtains its water supply from a point called Roaring Springs which is located approximately 15 miles across the Canyon on the North...
A Computer Model for Oil Slick Transport in Rivers
A computer model for simulating oil slick transport in rivers is presented. In the model the effects of advection, spreading, evaporation, and dissolution on the transformation of an oil...
Evaluation of PCP/Oil Spill on CFT Indian Reservation Near Nespelem, Washington
This paper presents the immediate action taken, the field work performed, and the engineering analysis performed in response to a spillage of a solution of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and...
Flow and Sediment Transport in Curved Channels with Nonuniform Bed Material
Described is a scheme for controlling the exchange of grain sizes between bed and bed load in a curved alluvial channel. The scheme is an integral part of a model for simulating spatial...
A New Technique for Measuring Fine Sediment Accumulation in Gravel Bed Streams
The collection and analysis of bed material samples has been a standard practice for determining the quantity of fine sediments (less than 3. 4 mm diameter) in stream gravels. However,...
Physical Habitat Simulation and the Moveable Bed
One objective of an instream flow analysis is to quantify a flow that will maintain the existing channel and/or flush fine material from the bed. Five empirical approaches to determine...
Development of the Nauvoo Point Plant Beds
In Pool 19, Mississippi River, the accumulation of sediment has resulted in soft-substrate benthic communities or macrophyte beds. Three areas in the downstream 12 miles of the 46. 3 mile...
Taming a Pipe Network Analysis Computer Program
The use of a conventional network analysis computer program as an effective evaluation tool for routine operation of an existing water distribution system has several practical limitations...
Guidelines for Maintenance of Aging Water Pipes
Break failure patterns are investigated by applying a new methodology based on Proportional hazards and Poisson-type models. Application on two water distribution systems of North-Eastern...
Analysis of Freshwater Distribution System at the Long Beach Naval Complex
This account of the evaluation of freshwater pipelines at California's Long Beach Naval Complex discusses current methods for assessing the condition of damaged water lines....
Long Reinforced Concrete Columns
Papers selected by the Reinforced Concrete Research Council of ASCE. This collection contains 13 papers reporting the results of a series of studies,...
Available Compaction Equipment
When discussing available compaction equipment we must keep in mind the purpose of compaction. Compaction is the art of artificially increasing the density or increasing the unit weight...
Construction of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement
Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is the product of a relatively new concrete paving technology in which a zero-slump portland cement concrete mixture is spread with modified asphalt...
Epoxy Repair of a Glulam Beam
The repair of timber structures by epoxy injection techniques is a recently developed repair alternative. Theoretical and experimental studies have resulted in the formulation of design...
Hypars and Wood Shells?The Boston College Recplex
For the past twenty years, we have been involved in the design and construction of intermediate span wood hyperbolic paraboloid. During that time the spans have ranged from 50 ft. to 200...
