Basic Freeway Section Design and Analysis
This paper presents the development and applications of an interactive, microcomputer-based program, FREWAY, for the design and performance evaluation of a basic freeway section with consideration...
Advances in Underground Pipeline Engineering
The field of underground pipeline engineering has undergone a rapid growth during the last two decades. The analysis, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of underground pipelines...
Developments in New and Existing Materials
Materials engineering has emerged as an identifiable professional practice within civil engineering in the past few years. Although materials engineering is not new, the concept that this...
Advances in the Art of Testing Soils Under Cyclic Conditions
The session on Advances in the Art of Testing Soils under Cyclic Loading Conditions was organized by the Soil Dynamics committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers in an endeavor...
Uplift Behavior of Anchor Foundations in Soil
This publication includes a series of studies which provide a general and consistent framework for the design of anchors in uplift. The papers are presented in three groups: (1) State-of-the-art...
Freezing and Thawing of Soil-Water Systems
This book presents a state-of-the-practice review on freezing and thawing of soil-water systems through ten interrelated papers on this subject. The papers review the following topics:...
Thermal Design Considerations in Frozen Ground Engineering
Prepared by the Technical Council on Cold Regions Engineering of ASCE. The design of engineering projects in frozen ground requires thermal design considerations...
Richart Commemorative Lectures
The geotechnical specialty known as soil dynamics has developed during the past 25 years from a minor role to a mainstream discipline. Professor F. E. Richart has played a major role in...
Accounting for Every Pipe
The Norfolk Sanitary Sewer Inventory and Appraisal System contains individual records for each of the 20,000 pipe segments in the Norfolk sewer system. The data, assembled from construction...
Vehicle Design Exchange With Other Disciplines
Vehicle Design as one of the eight designated areas of interest or 'disciplines' includes a wide range of interests within itself. It can range from overall vehicle...
Tampa Does It with Mirrors
As one of the nation's fastest growing cities, Tampa needed far more public works dollars. But the traditional source, the real estate tax, can no longer be relied on so heavily,...
Pipe Laying Comes Out of the Trenches
Recent developments have shown that trenchless construction offers an effective and economically attractive alternative to conventional excavation. These findings are especially important...
Roller Compacted Concrete Pavements in British Columbia, Canada
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) pavement is an outgrowth of the traditional cement-treated aggregate base (soil-cement) method of street and highway construction. The major use in British...
Slurry Trenches for Containing Hazardous Wastes
Slurry trench technology has not advanced much during the past 10 years due to a lack in research and development, the excerbated litigious climate in the environmental protection field,...
Curved Sewers: Yes or No?
A study of curved sewer use in Southern California examines sewer design and maintenance of curved versus straight sewers. A telephone survey of personnel in design and maintenance of...
Fluid/Structure Interaction During Seismic Excitation
Hydrodynamic loading and other fluid/structure interaction effects need to be considered in the design of structures which contain, surround, or are submerged in fluids when subject to...
How Should We Dispose Hazardous Wastes?
Our inability to successfully dispose hazardous wastes has led to extensive land, groundwater and surface water pollution. The question is not whether we have the technology to do the...
Superfund Cleanup Sites
Cleanups of four Superfund hazardous waste sites are described, two in Pennsylvania, one in Tacoma, Wash., and one in Globe, Arizona. The key chemical wastes were polychlorinated bipheynls,...
Just a Few More Tests and We'll Be Sure
This short paper presents a practical approach to data analysis, with the intent of suggesting that simple statistical methods - when tailored to geotechnical problems - do in fact provide...
Probabilistic Nature of Soil Properties
The integrity of a soil material is defined not only by its compositional components but also by the constituent natural bonds and the resultant interactions between the various constituents...
