Construction Technology/Method Identification and Selection System
The proliferation of construction technology and the characteristics of technology information, such as complexity, interdependency, etc., pose the need for a well-organized technology...

Integrated Cost and Schedule Control Automation
Effective management of construction projects depends on good access to and control of data, especially data pertaining to cost and schedule control functions. Long recognizing the need...

State and Local Issues in Transportation of Hazardous Waste Materials
Towards a National Strategy
This proceedings contains papers presented at the specialty conference State and Local Issues in Transportation of Hazardous Materials: Towards a National Strategy held on May 14-16, 1990...

Turbulent Water Aeration: Analytical Approach and Experimental Data
Analytical studies based on the statistical theory of turbulence were carried out in order to identify some relevant parameters which may be associated with the reaeration rate coefficient...

A Simple Empirical Model of Aeration at Navigation Dams
In a study of aeration at 28 dams in the upper Ohio River basin, site-specific least-squares linear regression models were used to describe the dissolved oxygen deficit below each dam...

Theoretical Investigation of Oxygenating Bubble Plumes
Rehabilitation of lakes by oxygenation with air or oxygen plumes has been proven to be biologically feasible. Oxygenating plumes are released from areal sources and the gases are absorbed...

Water Surface Flow and Exchange Induced by a Bubble Plume
Aeration is a common method to increase dissolved oxygen in the water of stratified (or non-stratified) lakes. In this method compressed air is injected at some depth, and gas is transferred...

Steady Turbulent Gas Desorption in Surface Condenser Tubes
A one-dimensional steady two-phase separated flow model in conjunction with the energy and mass transfer equations and an associated turbulent mass transfer coefficient model are utilized...

Ground Water in the Pacific Rim Countries

Taller Tunnels
Between 1984 and 1991, Shannon & Wilson, Inc., Seattle, designed renovation programs for more than 25 mi of tunnels for four western railroads. We performed all of this work under...

Ground-Water Modeling Without Fear
Computerized ground-water modeling has leapt from the cloistered laboratory to the field project as more and more programs are written for the personal computer. These easy-to-understand...

Double-Decking the Freeways
Elevated highways cost more than at-grade construction. Nonetheless, the hidden costs of increased traffic congestion and the real cost of urban right-of-way make elevated highways feasible....

GIS Plans Wastewater Future
When the Public Works Department began phase 3 construction on Albuquerque, N.M.'s current wastewater treatment plant in 1990, it was time to begin thinking about the next...

Computing in Civil Engineering and Symposium on Data Bases
This proceedings consists of the papers presented at the conference Computing in Civil Engineering and Symposium on Data Bases held in conjunction with A/E/C Systems '91 from May 6-8,...

Out of the Lab...and into the Field?
Materials experts know very little about concrete's basic structure. Now, though, engineers at a research center sponsored by the National Science Foundation are working on...

Earthquake Considerations in Design of the Los Angeles Metro
This paper discusses the earthquake design of the Los Angeles Metro. The design earthquake parameters are presented and discussed in light of the behavior of buried structures subjected...

Seismic Practices for the Air Transportation System: Evolution and Needs
The seismic performance of air transportation systems is reviewed. The evolution of seismic design criteria and practices for major air transportation system elements is discussed. The...
