Aseismic Reliability of a Strengthened R.C. Single Story Industrial Building
Based on results of seismic hazard analysis for a considered site, seismic reliability of a strengthened RC single-story industrial building against collapse has been evaluated. Inelastic...
Towards Reduction of the Vulnerability of Multi-Tank Storage Facilities
Accident scenarios in large scale industrial plants show that conventionally designed multi-tank storage facilities are susceptible to domino effects. With the aim to reduce the probability...
A Doubling Design: Rochester's Expanding Airport
Few projects offer greater design challenges or pose more critical construction complexities than a new air passenger terminal, especially when that new terminal must be built on land...
Unlocking Arena Gridlock
The Charlotte Coliseum features a $22 million reversible lane system, which provides easier access to and from 8,000 parking spaces. To improve access to the arena, a 3.6 mi road extension...
Industrial Strength 3-D
Williams assesses the benefits of using three-dimensional computer modeling in the design of industrial structures, comparing the reality in which the computer is a useful tool for engineers...
MRS Systems Study, Task F: Transportation Impacts of a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility
The passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 (NWPAA) modified the basis from which the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) had derived and developed...
TN28V High Capacity Cask for the Transport and Storage of Vitrified Wastes
When the option of reprocessing has been selected, closing of the fuel cycle implies the return shipment of reprocessing wastes back to the country of origin of the spent fuel, in particular...
Current Social Systems Issues in the U.S. High Level Waste Management Program
Major changes in the U.S. high level waste management program since passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) have weakened the social consensus about waste policy that existed...
Defining the Need for and Functions of the Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) Facility
A series of system studies of the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System were conducted by the Department of Energy (DOE) to determine the role for a Monitored Retrievable Waste...
