Martins Fork Reservoir Sedimentation Study
The Martins Fork Reservoir is located on Martins Fork of the Cumberland River in Harlan County, Kentucky. The lake was impounded in December, 1978. Since closure, the lake has experienced...

Modeling Side-Weir Diversions for Flood Control
Side-channel weirs can be used for diversion to reduce flood peaks. This study has developed a means for incorporating the effects of side weirs in HEC-1 and HEC-2 calculations through...

Measurement and Analysis of Tracfcfifc-Induced Transient Motion in Navigation Channels
Two-induced physical effects related to navigation changes on the Kanawha River, West Virginia were measured at three environmentally sensitive representative locations. The purpose of...

Entropy as a Probability Concept in Energy-Gradient Distribution
The concept of entropy based on probability theory instead of thermodynamic principle has been applied to study the distribution of energy gradient along alluvial rivers. The formulas...

Longitudinal Dispersion in Rivers: A Dead Zone Model Solution
The longitudinal dispersion of tracer material in rivers is often analyzed based on the one-dimensional convective diffusion equation developed by G.I. Taylor. However, the persistent...

Hydrologiic Risk Analysis for Small Dams in Missouri
A methodology is presented for calculating the risk cost for a dam based on probabilities for rainfall depth, antecedent moisture condition, rainfall time distribution, initial reservoir...

Hydraulic Effects on Swimming Fish in Fish Passage Structures
The implications of profile drag, weight, and buoyant forces on energy and power requirements of fish swimming through fish passage structures are considered. Where hydraulic grade lines...

Design of Riprapped Scour Holes for Flip Bucket and Overfall Spillways
Presented in this paper is a simple method of predicting pre-excavated scour depths and geometry for riprapped basins below flip bucket spillways. The input data needed for establishing...

Task Committee Report on Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
The results of the ASCE Hydraulics Division Task Committee on Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems are summarized in a very comprehensive report entitled Reliability Analysis...

Fractional-Step Method for Two-Dimensional Estuarine Transport
The fractional-step method was used in this study to split the longitudinal advective transport term from the other terms in the two-dimensional, laterally-averaged equation for estuarine...

Two-Dimensional River Modeling of Buckhorn Creek
A two-dimensional Finite Element Surface Water Modeling System (FESWMS-2DH) was used to simulate flow at a bridge crossing of a heavily vegetated flood plain where State Highway 130 crosses...

Generation of Native FE in Lunar Soil
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) studies on lunar samples produced some unexpected results which led to recognition of the presence of abundant single-domain Fe^o...

Concrete Lunar Base Investigation
Scientific and industrial operations on the moon require suitably shielded structures. Small structures for limited scientific activities may be constructed from structural elements prefabricated...

Construction Operations for an Early Lunar Base
Construction and excavation operations performed during the earliest stages of a manned lunar base pose a unique set of problems. This paper will describe six construction tasks that are...

Earthmoving in the Lunar Environment
This paper analyzes the lunar 'earthmoving' process with inputs, outputs, and external conditions acting upon it. Lunar environmental conditions such as temperature,...

Dynamic Analysis of the Joint Dominated Beam
A method is presented herein to determine the vibration modes of the Joint Dominated Beam. An example of a cantilever beam is selected for this purpose. The truss type beam is analysed...

Progressive Impact Damage Assessment in Composite Pressure Vessels
At the present time, advanced composites have been widely accepted as engineering materials. Analysis techniques for the response of composite materials and structures to static loads...

Robotics Research for Construction in Space
Research in construction robotics, terrestrial or otherwise, has focused on issues which are broadly pertinent to space applications. Construction robotics, as addressed by this writer,...

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...

Logistics Support of Space Facilities
The logistic support of space facilities is described, with especial attention given to the problem of sizing the inventory of ready spares kept at the space facility. Where possible,...
