Progress in Hydromechanics
The historical development of hydromechanics in the fifty years since the founding of the Hydraulics Division is reviewed. Rouse's 1938 text, Fluid Mechanics for Hydraulic Engineers, provided...

Advancement in Tidal Hydraulics
This paper will discuss advances in the field of tidal hydraulics since the inception of the ASCE Hydraulics Division 50 years ago. Activities of the Committees on Tidal Hydraulics of...

Surface Water Hydrology
A brief history is presented of activities in surface water hydrology by the Hydraulics Division since 1938. Included is an historical review of division activities in such areas as precipitation...

Contributions by the Hydraulics Division of ASCE to the Advancement of Ground-Water Hydrology
Papers related to ground-water hydrology published in Proceedings of the ASCE and in Hydraulics Division journals from 1938 through mid-1988 are briefly summarized. The areas covered are...

Analyzing in 3D
Suggestions for modeling and evaluating three-dimensional (3D) structures are presented. These suggestions are based on the authors' sixteen years of day to day involvement...

Floating Membrane Supertankers: Are They Feasible?
Optimal shapes of long cylindrical membrane containers are obtained by restricting the circumferential membrane stress to be tensile and constant throughout the tanker. Optimality is achieved...

Some General Remarks on the Structural Behavior and Load-Extension Characteristics of Coated Fabrics with Special Reference to PTFE-Coated Glass-Fiber Fabric
The understanding of fabric behavior, and of coated fabrics in particular, is essential for the design and analysis of fabric structures. Although many research papers have been published...

Longitudinal Impact Loading of Transmission Towers
A scale model has been developed to study a containment failure design concept for longitudinal (along the direction of the conductor) impact loading of electrical transmission structures....

Buckling Load of Tapered Columns
The basic tapered column with larger section in the center, is considered using Rayleigh-Timoshenko method. Column has linearly increasing I_o with...

Buckling of Unsymmetrical Thin-Walled Members
The formulation of a three-dimensional model based on p-version finite element method for the elastic buckling analysis of unsymmetrical thin-walled members under axial compression and...

Structures with Semi-Rigid Bolted Connections
Modern methods of aseismic protection encourage use of connections capable to dissipate energy with little or no deformations. The present paper is a summary of studies of semi-rigid bolted...

Evaluation of the Rotation Capacity of Wide-Flange Beams Using Shell Finite Elements
Numerical simulation can be useful for planning of experimental tests, performance of parametric studies, and achieving an understanding of complex three-dimensional behavior that may...

Optimal Shape Design of Columns for Buckling
A procedure for the shape optimization of a column for prescribed buckling load is developed. The procedure uses a new analysis technique that enables the formulation of the optimization...

Original Formulation of the Finite Element Method
Following a brief summary of the 1952 state of the art of structural analysis, the paper describes the circumstances that led to the formulation of the finite element method by members...

Major Advances in Finite Element Model Technology
The evolution of finite elements is traced from the viewpoint of finite element shape functions and element-related techniques. Particular emphasis is placed on the isoparametric element,...

Numerical Methods for Solution of Finite Element Systems
A personal summary of solution methods for the static and dynamic analysis of finite element systems, which have been developed during the past 30 years, will be given. Numerical techniques...

Extensions of Finite Element Technology for Automated Design
The finite element method, by itself, is an efficient analysis tool with which we can judge the quality of a proposed design. However, by coupling finite element analysis with numerical...

Getting Finite Element Programs to Reason About Their Analysis Assumptions
Despite the spectacular improvements of finite element analysis programs, there has been no corresponding progress in the development of physical modeling and interpretation aids. The...
