Transit Operations Input to Project Planning and Design
The rationale for most public transportation projects is a requirement imposed on the operating agency by an existing or expected service demand. These expected operations may be intended...

Installation of Category I Caissons
Founding a proposed safety-related Category I structure of a nuclear power plant on rock socketed caissons necessitated using precision installation techniques. These techniques were chosen...

A Look to the Future in Watershed Management
The discipline of watershed management will continue as a viable specialized field as the scarcity, demand, and price of water increase in the future. Training of watershed managers should...

Modeling Off-Site Impacts
The off-site impacts of a flood water control program were evaluated by applying the SWRRB (Simulation of Water Resources on Rural Basins) model to a treated basin, primarily agricultural,...

Prediction of Nutrient and Heavy Metal Transport Capacities of Suspended Sediment in the Southwestern United States
SEDCON, a computerized prediction technique (using forest type and geology as inputs) has been developed to estimate the impacts of land management practices on physical and chemical characteristics...

Assessing Seepage at Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Sites
This paper presents a conceptual framework for estimating the concentration of organic contaminants in a groundwater plume over time. The basis of this framework is the application of...

Application of Displacement of Discontinuity Methods in Underground Mine Design
Displacement discontinuity methods for stress analysis, pioneered by Starfield and Crouch (see, for example, Starfield and Crouch, 1972; Crouch, 1976; and Crouch and Starfield, 1983),...

Noise Characteristics of Alternative Urban Transit Technologies
The noise characteristics of alternative transit technologies for an urban area are summarized. Among the transportation technologies considered are a busway system, light rail transit...

Summary of the Accomplishments of the Federal Rail Transit Vibration and Noise Control Technology Program
The U. S. Department of Transportation's Urban Mass Transportation Administration and Transportation Systems Center have played an active role in assisting the U. S. rail...

Noise Assessment, Measurement, and Mitigation, an OSHA View
A discussion is presented on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910. 95 General Industry noise exposure standards and the 29 CFR 1926. 52 and 1926. 101 Construction...

Innovative Strategies to Improve Urban Transportation Performance
The field of urban transportation is facing some severe challenges. Roadways continue to deteriorate, the financial condition of public transit systems is abysmal, and general productivity...

Monitoring Saves a Site
A comparison is made of two supported excavations that were similarly designed and constructed. Both excavation support systems consisted of a soldier pile and lagging sheeting wall supported...

Organization and Management of Public Transport Projects
Transit development projects are undertaken to help satisfy escalating transportation needs in modern cities. The projects address an array of technical, social, and environmental considerations....

Modeling Contaminant Fate and Transport in Ground Water Systems
Determination of the fate and transport of contaminants in subsurface environments has been aided by recent advances in our understanding of ground water hydrodynamics and subsurface solute...

Legal Constraints on the Transport of Water
Legal constraints on water transport are based on legitimate concerns for protecting the future interests of the area of origin, but such constraints sometimes appear overly restrictive...

Parameter Identification in Water System Models
Parameter identification (PI) is an automatic model calibration technique with which the unknown physical parameters in a mathematical model are determined from a constrained optimization...

Methodology of Determining Acceptable Levels of Heavy Metal Contamination in Municipal Sewage Sludge Applied to Cropland
The potential public health risks associated with the agricultural utilization of municipal sewage sludge dictate the development of environmentally acceptable criteria for the disposal...

Characterization of Indoor Carbon Monoxide Levels Produced by the Automobile
Integrated air samples were obtained at seven small and six large service stations and two dealerships. These establishments were sampled during cold and warm weather operations for eight...

Indoor Air Quality Simulations with the Mass Balance Model
Recent studies relate energy conservation measures, specifically to reduction of the air exchange rate of residences, with potential adverse health effects due to human exposure to increased...

Apportionment of Costs for Multi-Party Cleanups
A rational model was developed for allocating remedial response costs among potentially responsible parties involved in clean up of abandoned waste sites. The model takes into consideration...
