Interaction of Geology, Construction Practice and Foundation Design
The influence of geologic knowledge and construction practices on the geotechnical foundation design process has been assessed and summarized. Particular emphasis has been given to the...

The Role of Analytical Geomechanics in Foundation Engineering
The role of modern geotechnical analysis in foundation design is reviewed, and analysis methods are classified into three categories, depending on their level of sophistication. The benefits...

Innovative Foundation Designs for Permafrost Conditions in the Arctic
This paper describes the engineering solution to restore the structural properties of permafrost at a site location in the Western Operating Area of the Prudhoe Bay Field. Steel pile supports...

Reliability in Foundation Engineering Practice
The value and use of reliability concepts in foundation engineering practice are explored, with a focus on two complementary approaches. In the first, macroscopic and action-oriented,...

Scenarios for Land Use on Delaware Barrier Beaches
Design criteria developed from tenets of the industrial-scientific world view emphasized capital-intensive use of barrier beaches for maximum economic productivity, whereas bioregional...

Coastal Barrier Resources Act Report to Congress
The Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) of 1982 established a system of 186 coastal barriers along the U.S. coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, and prohibited within this...

Dredge Disposal Monitoring by Fourier Shape Analysis
Fourier grain-shape analysis characterizes a population of sediments in terms of the shapes of the grains. The technique of grain-shape analysis has been successfully applied to the area...

Hydrobiological Characterization of Guanabara Bay
Guanabara Bay forms an ecological unity with serious environmental problems derived from an accelerated and unorganized process of urbanization without the necessary support. The UFRJ/Institute...

In Situ Determinations of Dispersion and Transport Parameters at Piraquara De Fora (RJ)?Brazil, With Help of a Fluorescent Dye Tracer
This paper deals with 'in situ' determinations of the transport and dispersion parameters at Piraquara de Fora cove, near the site where the first Brazilian nuclear...

Guide for Evaluating Engineering Software
This is a practical guide to the problem of assessing the suitability of computer software being considered for use in engineering analysis, design or decision making. Each chapter treats...

Computer Utilization in Structural Engineering
This volume contains the papers presented at the 1989 Structures Congress sponsored by the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers that deal directly with the application...

Seismic Engineering
Research and Practice
This volume of Seismic Engineering: Research and Practice contains papers from twenty-two sessions of the 1989 ASCE Structures Congress. These papers represent a wide-ranging interest...

Adaptation of ANSI Standards for Communications Testing in the Connectionless Environment
American National Standards (X 3.102 and X 3.141) establish a uniform means for specifying, assessing and comparing performance of data communications systems and services from the point...

Incremental Risk Analysis in Teaching Institutions
Institutions engaged in research and teaching in the natural sciences, constitute a diffuse source of chemical emissions. As many institutions embark on ambitious building programs, communities...

Conducting a Waterline Corrosion Evaluation
A study has been conducted to determine the level of corrosion activity occuring on the U.S. Navy's potable waterlines on Guam. The study evaluated soil parameters including...

Selective Calcium Removal for Water Softening
The paper reports on a 'Water Quality Control Study' for the City of Lafayette, Louisiana. This paper focuses on the laboratory phase of the project. The City...

A Method for Design and Evaluation of Rapid Sand Filters Treating Secondary Effluents
The information presented in this paper provides a framework for analysis of rapid sand filter performance. Process variables are quantitatively related to filter design variables in a...

A Practical Approach for Evaluating Environmental Risk
Risk management and assessment techniques are increasingly being used to project public health risks at hazardous wastes sites. Few studies have quantitatively evaluated the environmental...

Radon Resistant New Construction Practices
This paper highlights the basic principles for building radon-resistant houses and it groups the construction techniques into four categories, i.e., the barrier approach, soil ventilation...

Estimating Soil Gas Flow Rates and Identifying Entry Routes in a Dwelling Using Multiple Perfluorocarbon Tracers
Passive monitoring of indoor air and below basement floor (subslab) soil gas for radon and perfluorocarbon tracer (PFT) gas concentration was conducted to investigate the influence of...
