Sedimentation at Canal In-Line Structures
This paper describes the procedures used to compute the transport capabilities of existing canals and the process for predicting sediment deposition that will occur at or near the modified...

Modeling Erosion and Sedimentation in Irrigation
Sediment yield and erosion modeling approaches for sprinkler and surface irrigation are discussed. Empirical approaches, such as the ULSE, and other regression approaches and their applicability...

Tunneling Around Ft. McHenry
The world's largest underwater tunnel was built out of sight and sound of Ft. McHenry. The 4,000 ft tunnel needed to take I-95 from shore to shore had to be extended to 7,200...

Highway Infrastructure
Opportunities for Innovation
Our national commitment to financing the rebuilding of America's highway intrastructure represents a very expensive, long term investment. The challenge facing highway engineers...

Equipment Requirements for Concrete Recycling
Concrete recycling projects have been completed in a number of states. As the transportation infrastructure ages, concrete recycling will become a common construction operation. Concrete...

Infrastructure in a Hurry
The City of Austin, Texas has experienced tremendous growth since the early 1970s. Until recently, however, infrastructure development lagged. Now the city is engaged in a $1 billion infrastructure...

Optimization for Overall Stability
This paper synthesizes design of trusses for linear stability constraint as an optimization problem where linear stability is defined as a generalized eigenvalue problem and presents a...

Microcomputer Application of the Florida Standard Urban Transportation Modeling Structure
Over the past five years the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in conjunction with the twenty-one Florida Metropolitan Planning Organizations, has developed the Florida Standard...

Transportation Infrastructure Information Systems
The current crisis in the nation's transportation infrastructure necessitates the development of innovative data management systems to facilitate and implement analysis algorithms...

Winter Highway Construction
The purpose of this paper is to describe a study of the feasibility of constructing highways in the wintertime in cold regions. The study, sponsored by the Alaska Department of Transportation...

Design of Impact Limiters for Waste Fuel Shipping Casks
Impact limiters are often used to control the decelerations experienced by a waste fuel shipping cask when it is subjected to the hypothetical accident condition loadings. Simplified design...

Software for Optimum Design of Highway Bridge Beams
A software system for analysis and optimum design of welded plate beams subjected to AASHTO highway bridge loads and specifications is described. The system has the capability to design...

Interactive Bridge Optimization Program
This paper presents the development of a design methodology that includes the structural optimization process as an integrated component of girder bridge design. The optimization process...

Project Management in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has a decentralized organization with a central office staff providing functional and policy analysis and eight district offices scattered throughout...

Subdivider: Advanced Subdivision Design with the IBM-PC
SUBDIVIDER is an IBM-PC program which aids engineers in the process of dividing tracts of land into lots, streets, and building floor plans. It can be used for the design of traditional...

Coordination of Interconnected Arterial Traffic Signals
Present analytical methods and computer programs offer capabilities of optimizing the traffic signal coordination for a series of signalized intersections. Recently, transportation research...

Endangerment Assessment in a Multilayered Aquifer Using a Microcomputer Based Transport Model
An endangerment assessment describes the types and degrees of potential hazards to public health, welfare, or the environment that may result from the release of hazardous substances into...

Westway - The Little Word that Killed the Big Highway
The Westside Highway Project, better known as Westway, received a construction permit on February 25, 1985 from the Army Corps of Engineers. Signed by the author, the permit was invalidated...

Three Inexpensive Land Use Allocation Techniques
The current thrust in transportation planning is to make use of manual and microcomputer techniques for providing quick-response travel estimation. In this context, matching land use techniques,...

The Middletown (CT) Riverfront Development Plan
Middletown is strategically located on the banks of the Connecticut River in the central part of Connecticut. Middletown has a tradition as a maritime center. During the seventeenth and...
