This book is derived from a Seminar at the Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center, Vicksburg, Mississippi held on November 7-8, 1989. It presents a state-of-the-art...
Let the Buyer Beware
As recently as the 1970s, state highway agencies blindly purchased land for projects without much concern for hazardous waste. But that changed in 1980 with Superfund legislation, specifically...
Untangling A Can of Worms
Increasing traffic volumes combined with rush-hour delays and commuter complaints have spurred New York State DOT to improve the capacity of a major interchange near Rochester. The interchange,...

This proceedings consists of papers presented at the ASCE National Convention on Hydraulic Engineering given July 30 to August 3, 1990 in San Diego, California. The Conference provided...
Facelift For an Interchange
The authors describe a $250 million reconstruction project on a three-level interchange linking I-84 and I-91 in Hartford, Conn., which is the largest rehabilitation project in the state's...
Bridges on Screen
Computer software can help engineers produce designs for more economical, constructable bridges in less time than conventional methods. Software is being put to work in bridge design departments...
Stratified Flows
This volume contains the edited and refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Stratified Flows, convened on February 3-5, 1987 in Pasadena, California. It consists of...
Bumpy Road Ahead
By 1999, we will be riding on highways and public transit paid for by the 1991 reauthorization of the National Surface Transportation Act. Or maybe we won't. The new bill,...
Effects of Uncertainties in Component Fragilities on Lifeline Seismic Risk Analysis
Accurate calculation of the seismic risk for lifelines requires modeling the system as a function of its components, and requires accurate modeling of two engineering factors: (1) the...
Aussie Steel
The 50-story Chifley Square Building being built in Sydney will be the tallest Australian steel building. Scheduled for completion in June 1992 at a cost of $310 million, it will house...
Numerical Model for Tsunami Run-Up
Originally published in: Journal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, ASCE, WW3, August 1970, pp. 701-719...
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...
Commuter Control
Traffic management systems are a relatively new way to expand the capacity of existing highways and to utilize new ones realistically. Several major systems have been in place and new...
Reconstruction Under Traffic: A Study of Some Effects of the Dan Ryan Project on Motor Carrier Operations in Northeast Illinois
The paper discusses preparations by the Chicago Area Transportation Study for a study of the operational responses of truckers to whatever effects upon the regional highway system are...
The Truck Commodity Survey in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Area
The Truck Commodity Survey was designed to gather information on the characteristics of truck traffic at toll barriers with minimal disruption to traffic flows. It was developed by the...
Truck Involvement in Fatal Urban Road Accidents in Australia
Trucks are over-represented (relative to vehicle numbers and vehicle-kilometers of travel) in fatal accidents. Those most at risk are occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians. Articulated...
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...
