Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Nigeria
Urban hydrological research is largely in its infancy in Nigeria. Most cities are unplanned and unsewered. There is no Hydrological Research Institute and only two or three Universities...
Current Status of Urban Hydrology in Finland
Due to a smaller scale of urban problems on Finland, active research work on urban hydrology began as late as in the mid-1970's. The major urban hydrology and related studies...
Urban Hydrology Progress Since 1979 in the U.S.
Much of the progress in urban hydrology in the U. S. occurred before 1979. Some of the results of activities initiated or reported before that date are just becoming widely known, however....
Progress on IHP Project A.2.9.
The initial work of Unesco in the area of urban hydrology was done by the Subgroup on the Effects of Urbanization on the Hydrological Environment during the International Hydrologic Decade...
Overview: Introduction to Cold Region Construction
Speaking of cold region construction, it is natural to think only of the arctic, however, this is completely erroneous. Throughout North America there are various types of cold region...
Preparation of Equipment for Cold Regions
An overview of equipment required to support arctic construction is presented. Special features which have been incorporated into standard equipment designs are explained. Also presented...
Ice and Snow Utilization in Cold Regions Construction
An overview of requirements is presented for the planning, design, and construction of roads, pads, and airfields using water, ice and snow as construction materials. Practical guidelines...
Cold Regions Earthwork
The purpose of this paper is to outline the state-of-the-practice in cold regions earthwork based on experience gained in the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska. Material properties of fill used...
Pile Construction Practices in Arctic Regions: State-of-the-Art
Pile installation techniques in cold regions include drill and slurry, and driven methods for foundation designs. In the past, piles used for structural support in permafrost have consisted...
Cold Regions Concreting
The quest for energy and other riches of the earth in the north regions, the establishment of permanent scientific and defense stations in cold regions, the high cost of project and construction...
Quality Assurance for Cold Regions Construction
Quality Assurance for cold regions construction begins at the design stage. Unique civil, structural, material and equipment requirements for the severe arctic environment and continuous/discontinuous...
Cold Regions Safety
Presented here are some essential basics for the development of a comprehensive cold regions safety program. The intent is to cover a few topics in some detail, and to increase the general...
Thaw Settlement Analysis for Buried Pipelines in Permafrost
This paper focuses on determination of allowable thaw settlement for the design of cross country pipelines in permafrost areas. The purpose of the thaw settlement evaluation is to aid...
Thermal Storage, Now and Future
Two-part article describes a 250 x 82 x 22 ft underground concrete tank that stores about 29,000 ton-hours of cooling effect for Yale University's medical school complex....
The Potential for Small-Scale Hydro in Developing Countries
The author attempts to define a market that has been traditionally ignored by U.S. design firms. As a result, the Europeans, Chinese and Japanese have taken the lead in engineering and...
Flanged Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members
Design aids in the forms of charts and tables are available for design of reinforced concrete flexural members. Many of these design aids were developed for design of rectangular cross...
Field Experience: Another Facet of Professional Development
Since young engineers rarely get the chance to get into the field and observe construction on site, either because of their firm's policy of not letting inexperienced people...
A Dynamic Communication Technique for Civil Engineers
Since being able to communicate with clients, especially during the initial proposal presentation is vital to securing work for the civil engineer, a dynamic communication technique for...
The Civil Engineer and the Decay of America's Infrastructure
With the infrastructure of the United States continuing to deteriorate, the problem becomes who will decide how much to spend in both repairing, maintaining and building new facilities...
Passive Solar and Daylighting Cut Building's Energy Use
