The Application of a Structural Analysis Program to Floating Dock and Guide Pile Design
The floating dock systems and guide piles used in marinas are often designed using over simplified analysis techniques. However, if the dock system is flexible or if either the soil conditions...
Eilat?A Paradise of Coast and Sealife
This paper describes the development of the existing lagoon in Eilat, Israel, into a modern marina and the dredging of two new lagoons. The existing lagoon was dredged and developed some...
Organisation Structure and Control
With today's rapidly changing world economies and a variety of other pertinent factors, the euphoria of the past few years is fast dwindling and a professional approach in...
A New Approach to Waterfront Development and Use Control

Racine's Reefpoint Marina and Festival Park?Sustaining Success Along the Lakefront
Racine County, Wisconsin, is a lakefront county os 173,000 residents located along the southwestern cost of Lake Michigan. A waterfront revitalization program, begun in 1982, has produced...
Marinas and Waterfront Redevelopment, Brisbane
This paper describes a selection of marina projects which are being developed at locations of abandoned commercial wharves in the Brisbane River, and the impact of this transformation...
Application of a Numerical Model to Develop Marina Concepts
A numerical model is presented to evaluate wave conditions in a marina basin for development and analysis of marina concepts. This model is based on the boundary integral equation method...
Ice Engineering Design for Marinas
Northern marinas must be designed for the effects of ice and winter conditions. Marina sites, although themselves specific, experience forces and actions that can be predicted and generalized...
Shallow Draft Coastal Port Design
One of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) missions is to construct and maintain shallow draft coastal ports and harbors. Defined as less than 20 ft, shallow draft projects number...
Prospectus for Marinas 2000
This paper is an outline presentation of the method of achieving a proposed specialty workshop on marina planning, design, and construction for the Twenty-First Century by the Waterway,...
Innovation in the Marina Facilities
To meet the need for sufficient pleasure boat storage facilities in Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has developed a new type of boat storage system called 'Mitsubishi...
Viscoelastomeric Connections in Seismic Structures
Nonlinear Kelvin and Maxwell impedances connect lumped masses to form arbitrary networks. Viscoelastomer-steel composite moment connections are modeled similarly, using auxiliary masses,...
Influence of Rigidity of Soil Surrounding Shield Tunnel Upon Equivalent Rigidity of the Tunnel in Axial Direction
The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between ground surrounding a shield-driven tunnel and segments, especially their ring-joint portion. When a seismic force acts...
Pavement Design by Elastic Layer Theory
The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station has been developing methodology by which airport/airfield pavements can be designed based on elastic layered analysis for the Federal...
The Effects of Runway Roughness on Aircraft Fatigue Life
A computer code developed within the Flight Dynamics Directorate of the Wright Laboratory was used to simulate the dynamic response of heavy aircraft operating on runways with various...
Runway Roughness Measurement, Quantification and Application: The Boeing Approach
The measurement of runway roughness and the determination of the severity of runway roughness have long been the subject of nebulous discussion and esoteric description. By considering...
Pavement Experiences Indicative of Needs to Consider Design and Specification Revisions
Recent experiences on two airfield paving projects have indicated some problem areas which may warrant further consideration in design manuals and specifications. 1. Construction of the...
Concrete Mixture Evaluation and Acceptance for Air Field Pavements
Evaluation of the strength of portland cement concrete using flexural strength and compressive strength tests is examined. Problems with the use of flexural testing in the field are discussed...
Guidelines for Electrical Transmission Line Structural Loading
This manual presents detailed guidelines and procedures for developing transmission line structure loads. It is divided into four sections. The first section is concerned with the load/strength...
Guideline for Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings
