The papers included in the Proceedings describe four diverse tunneling prjects of varying diameters, design criteria, ground conditions and construction techniques undertaken at locations...
Avoiding Contract Disputes
Contract disputes among parties involved in the construction project are very expensive in both time and dollars. Owners, designers, construction managers and contractors all share in...
Vibration Problems in Geotechnical Engineering
This volume constitutes the Proceedings of a two-session Symposium whose main objective is to address geotechnical issues related to vibration problems other than those associated with...
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...
Concrete Face Rockfill Dams?Design, Construction, and Performance
Concrete face rockfill dams are being used with greater frequency and to greater heights in the last decade. The developments leading to this progress are many and are addressed in the...
Structural Design, Cementitious Products, and Case Histories
The papers in this book represent deverse topics in structural engineering. In design of beam-columns by the AISC interaction equations, it is demonstrated that an inadequacy exists when...
Making Project Control Systems Work
This publication contains four papers that offer both theoretical and practical advice on how to make control systems more effective on design and construction projects. The use of automated...
Current Research and Research Needs in Deep Foundations
This report summarizes the current range of research on deep foundations now being performed in the United States. The report is divided into two main sections: (1) Current research or...
Project Management on a Micro
Increasingly, project management programs that once required the power of a mainframe computer are being modified to work on micros. Some of the programs being used at a number of firms...
Accounting for CADD Center Costs
The purpose of developing a CADD cost center is to segregate all costs related to the CADD operation so that you may receive fair compensation for CADD usage and to ensure fair charges...
Second-Guessing the Engineer
The relationships between utilities and the bodies that regulate them have changed drastically in the past few years. No longer can any costs associated with the construction of new power...
Highway Work Zone Safety
The objective of this presentation is to provide discussion on how to improve the interdisciplinary information exchange to enhance safety on roads and streets from the viewpoint of the...
Engineering with Fabric
Geotextiles are lending their strength to construction projects where conventional methods won't work. At Washington National Airport, an embankment was built into the Potomac...
San Francisco Outfall: The Champ?
The Southwest Ocean Outfall, with an overall length of 23,400 ft and capacity of 450 mgd, will be major element of the Clean Water Program of the City and County of San Francisco. Offshore,...
Current Corps of Engineers Concepts for Roller Compacted Concrete in Dams
Since construction of Willow Creek Dam in 1982, Elk Creek Dam in southwest Oregon is the only Corps of Engineers dam to be constructed using RCC that has passed beyond the planning stage...
Simplified Design and Construction Control for Roller Compacted Concrete
This paper presents a simplified approach to the design and construction quality control of roller compacted concrete (RCC) based on research of previous projects, discussions with experienced...
Construction of Two Spillways Using Roller Compacted Concrete
Roller Compacted Concrete (or RCC) is a relatively new method of construction and in many projects can be a low cost alternate to or foundation for conventional reinforced concrete. The...
Construction of Middle Fork Dam
Recently there has been increased interest in roller compacted concrete (RCC) for use in dams. However, to date there has been very little practical experience in construction. Middle...
Construction of Recent RCD-Concrete Dam Projects in Japan
