A Methodology for Modeling Construction Requirements for a Manned Lunar Base
Before accurate modeling and planning of a manned lunar base can be accomplished, a methodology representing the construction-and-assembly process of lunar surface facilities must be developed....

Animation/Simulation for Construction Planning
The importance of a highly efficient schedule for space construction cannot be overestimated. A detailed scheduling process working closely with design data could reduce costs, minimize...

Simulator for Telerobotic Assembly, Maintenance and Repair of Large Space Structures
A first approximation level computer simulator for telerobotic assembly of large space structures is described. Approach, methodology and initial results are presented. An example based...

The Planar Truss - An Active Control Test Bed
The authors have developed a laboratory planar truss and structural dynamic models which correlate well. The inherent fraction critical damping (? = .004 for the first mode) is very low...

A Visual Approach for Space Systems Designers
This paper discusses computerized tools that may be used by designers as they approach problem solving related to engineering, construction and operations in space. Tools for space system...

Berm Breakwaters
Unconventional Rubble-Mound Breakwaters
This book presents a state-of-the-art review of the design, analysis, hydraulic model testing, and prototype experience of a new class of coastal structures that produce economical designs...

Simulation of Long Period Ground Motions for a Large New Madrid Earthquake
Ground motions for a large New Madrid earthquake are simulated to provide response spectra in the period range of 0.5-20 seconds for hard rock sites at Chicago and Atlanta. The ground...

Model-Prototype Correlation of Hydraulic Structures
Forty-three papers are contained in these proceedings, from the International Symposium on Model-Prototype Correlation of Hydraulic Structures. The papers cover a broad range of subjects...

Hydraulic Engineering
The papers in this book were presented at the National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering, August, 1988, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The objective of this conference was to provide a...

Computing on the Run
Portable computers enable engineers to manage projects right at the job site. In addition to this mobility and flexibility, they make it possible for a small firm to automate inexpensively....

Structural Scale Models: Beyond the Computer
The authors build balsa wood structural scale models to supplement their 3D CADD designs because, for complex framing systems or sites with access problems, the models help clients and...

Simulated Water-Quality Changes in Detention Basins
A study has begun to simulate movement of stormflow through detention basins at four locations in the Irondequoit Creek watershed and determine the effect on peak flow and water quality....

Implementing a State PMS
Arizona State Pavement Management System (PMS) is described in this paper. Experience shows that many factors must be considered in deciding how to maintain a particular mile of the road...

Traffic and Safety Research Payoffs
This paper reviews contributions to the practice of transportation engineering by research in the traffic and safety area. Brief overviews are provided in the area of traffic operations...

Recovery Efficiency From Single-Well Injection/Recovery Tests in a Limestone Aquifer of High Secondary Porosity
An analytical advection-diffusion model was developed to assess the feasibility of injecting and recovering water in a limestone aquifer of high secondary porosity. The model was calibrated...

Analysis of Hydraulic Impacts at the Tucson Reclaimed Water Recharge Project
The Tucson Reclaimed Water Recharge site has been implemented with increasingly sophisticated calculation methods as data collection efforts advanced. Initial project scoping utilized...

Interaction of Large Depression Storage with an Aquifer
In the south-western part of Ghaggar basin, there exist an isolated but interconnected series of nineteen aeolian sand dune depressions in Sriganganagar district of Rajasthan (India) which...

Probabilistic Site Strategy for Transmission Lines
A probability-based geotechnical site characterization strategy is presented for transmission line structures. Because site-specific data are sparse for these structures, a Bayesian model...

Maintaining the Gateway to the Columbia Basin?A Plan for Improvement
Portland District has begun a Maintenance Improvement Program to recommend procedures to reduce annual operations and maintenance costs while providing safe and efficient ship passage...

A Successful Merging of Scientific Research and Public Participation
This paper describes the on-going programs at the US Army Corps of Engineers' San Francisco Bay-Delta Model and Visitor Center that aim to broaden the general public's...
