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...
Fate of Chemical Contaminants in Soil
Soil as a medium for storage, attenuation, immobilization, or degradation of chemicals has not provided the capability and protection of resources that was predicted in past fate studies...
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...
Guide to Investigation of Structural Failures
Prepared by the Research Council on Performance of Structures of ASCE. This report contains guidelines for conducting an investigation into the causes...
Use of In Situ Tests in Geotechnical Engineering
In the past ten years, many new types of in situ test equipment and many new techniques have been developed. The papers in this volume are concerned with applications of in situ measurement...
Managing Two Projects as One
The Port of Tacoma completed a new two berth container terminal and intermodal yard for Sea-Land in May 1985, only 26 months after signing a binding agreement. The project, which also...
Keeping Sand at a Standstill
Construction of roads, railroads, pipelines and other facilities removes the native vegetation from sand dunes. As a result, sand movement starts and entire dunes may become active. This...
A Study on Non-Conforming Boundary Elements in Elastomechanics
This work is a critical study on the performance of non-conforming boundary elements in three-dimensional elastomechanics. The pervasive way of implementing the boundary element method...
3-D Flexible Embedded Machine Foundations by BEM and FEM
A study on the dynamic response of three-dimensional flexible massless foundations of arbitrary shape, embedded in a homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic half-space and subjected...
Offshore Platforms Subjected to Wave Forces
The dynamic analyses of offshore platforms are mostly based on the lumped mass matrix method in the frequency domain. Although the approximations involved in the lumped mass matrix method...
The Effects of P-Delta and Semi-Rigid Connections on Response Behavior of Inelastic Steel Frames Subjected to Cyclic and Seismic Loadings
A numerical method is presented for analyzing semi-rigid connected steel frames subjected to various time-dependent excitations with consideration of damping, nonlinear material behavior...
The Ultimate High Tide
Unprecedented consumption of fossil fuels and clearing of vegetation have spurred interest in the greenhouse effect. Under this scenario, a build-up of carbon dioxide and other gases in...
Computer Assisted Pavement
In Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. a 4,300 ft. long test installation of the Contained Rock Asphalt Mat (CRAM) Pavement System is expected to have a 50 year life. It cost a third less than...
Structural Applications of SIFCON
SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber CONcrete) is a relatively new composite material utilizing steel fibers in a cement-based matrix. It differs from conventional steel-fiber-reinforced concrete...
Behavior of Concrete Bulkheads in Salt Drifts
Parameters studies of the behavior of a plug made from expansive concrete have been performed. Such plugs are now being field tested for sealing boreholes, shafts and drifts at an underground...
Effects of High Pressure and Temperature on HCP
A modification of fabrication techniques for cement paste can significantly affect its properties. Specifically, the static compressive strength can be increased over that of specimens...
