Aeration is the Solution for Sluice Cavitation Damage at Libby Dam, Montana
Cavitation has severely damaged two of the high-head flood control sluices. The damaged areas were immediately patched; however, these patches were not considered a solution to the problem....
Laboratory Studies of Cavitation in Corps of Engineers Hydraulic Structures
A selected bibliography of significant hydraulic laboratory research efforts by the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to identify the likelihood of and means of preventing...
Information Retrieval Sources and Availability in Hydraulics
There is a very general unawareness of information available on hydraulic studies, application of these studies and import for other projects, and results of new project design methods....
Fisheries Engineering Program at Washington State University
Problems associated with the interrelationships of instream hydraulic structures, and migratory and resident fish, are in need of better analysis and design. This improvement can be realized...
Fishways--Historical Assessment of Design Practice
Fishway design has evolved over the years in a conservative fashion. Research has led to the development of some innovative structures, but costs and water usage have been high. Conservative...
Small Scale Hydropower Design Optimization
A method is presented by which the hydraulic design of small hydropower facilities can be economically optimized and then tested for sensitivity to variations in hydrologic prediction....
Bureau of Reclamation Hydraulic Laboratory
The Bureau of Reclamation used hydraulic models for the first time in 1930 in the laboratory of the Colorado Agriculture Experimental Station in Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1946 the Reclamation...
Plastic and Other Limit State Methods for Design Evaluation
These proceedings consist of seven papers dealing with the topic of the design of complex structures using limit state methods. The emphasis is on the role of plastic or limit load techniques....
Pipeline Materials and Design
The proper use of pipeline materials and design is obviously paramount in the private and public works sectors. The introduction and proper use of new piping materials and design procedures...
Design and Operation of Pipeline Control Systems
More and more of the time of the engineer involved in the design and construction of a pipeline project is devoted to problems relating to the control systems to operate and monitor the...
Computer Aided Design in Civil Engineering
Increased application of computer aided design and drafting encouraged the organization of the symposium from which this book was derived. The papers presented at the symposium and included...
Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
Performance, Design and Construction
Lifeline Earthquake Engineering: Performance, Design and Construction is a follow-up publication to the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering publication Advisory Notes...
Analysis and Design of Pile Foundations
Piles are one of the oldest type of foundation system known to man and as such have been previously studied in depth based on available modeling and monitoring techniques. An increased...
Structural Engineering in Nuclear Facilities
The papers in this publication cover the general theme of civil and structural engineering as they are applied to nuclear facilities. Traditional topics include seismic analysis, impactive...
Structural Plastics Design Manual
The structural behavior of plastics reflects a number of characteristics different from those of the metal, lumber, and concrete materials familiar to most design engineers. This manual...
Guidelines for Transmission Line Structural Loading
Procedures are provided for the selection of design loads and load factors based on the latest research and state-of-the-art design techniques. This selection has an effort on the reliability...
Guidelines for the Seismic Design of Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems
Current knowledge on the practice of earthquake engineering for oil and gas pipeline systems is presented. Such systems typically consist of buried oil, gas, or product pipelines and aboveground...
Practical Guidelines for the Selection, Design and Installation of Piles
This report provides an objective practical basis for the design and construction of pile foundations. Potential problems and uncertainties in pile design and construction are emphasized....
Using CADD for Fun and Profit
American Bridge Engineers, a Pittsburgh full service engineering, architecture and planning firm, is still exploring the full capabilities of its CADD (computer aided design and drafting)...
CADD: Getting the Right Fee
For those engineering consultants who use CADD systems on government cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, the author sugests establishing a CADD cost center that includes all costs involved...
