Dredging and Dredged Material Disposal
Waterborne commerce is a major factor in the economy of many countries. Because waterborne commerce depends on the ability of nations to provide adequate navigation channels to transport...

Measurement of Hydrographic Parameters in Large Sand-Bed Streams from Boats
This report concentrates on the state-of-the-art in the field documentation of the existing channel geometry, plus the concurrent stream flow and sediment transport characteristics, prevailing...

Recent Developments in Pavement Skid Resistance
As pavements wear, they lose some of their skid resistance. This article discusses some of the leading options for restoring a pavement's skid resistance. The possibilities...

Superplasticized Concrete Takes Off in Dallas
Some engineers are calling superplasticized concrete the most important advance in concrete technology in over three decades. Over the past four years superplasticized concrete has begun...

Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings: The Story Behind Their Rapid Growth
In 1964, pre-engineered metal buildings accounted for 24% of new non-residential, low-rise construction. By 1981, that figure had jumped to 56%. Behind that rapid growth are some very...
