Expert Systems Approach for Analysis of High Hazard Locations
This paper focuses on the detailed analysis of specific highway locations that have been identified as hazardous in the framework of a State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)....

CAD Generation of Accident Diagrams for Local Agencies
This paper reviews one such issue, safety, focusing on the development of a user-interface with a microcomputer CAD system. With this interface, the system is used to generate collision...

Photogrammetric Analysis Using a Personal Computer
In many cases, photographs of the accident scene taken soon after the event contain visible evidence of road marks and/or debris. By the time the case reaches the accident investigator/reconstructionist,...

Addressing the Risks of Computer Model Misuse
The proliferation of relatively inexpensive small computers, and accompanying transportation-oriented software, has brought many capabilities to transportation agencies previously unavailable...

Computer Applications in Structural Engineering
The papers in this book deal with the development or application of software systems to the design, analysis, and drafting activities associated with engineered structures. A number of...

Dynamics of Structures
This volume includes the papers presented at the 6th Structures Congress of ASCE which deal with the analysis, design, and behavior of civil engineering structures and facilities subjected...

Fail Safe Management
Engineers are increasingly embroiled in cases where failure is defined as improper administration or management of a procedure instead of the collapse of a structure or the failure of...

Preliminary Design and Construction Plan for an Ocean Wave Energy Conversion System
A preliminary design and construction plan for a prototype wave energy conversion system is described. While the design methodology and construction procedures are intended for generic...

The Effects of Earthquakes on Power and Industrial Facilities and Implications for Nuclear Power Plant Design
Fifteen earthquakes, ranging from magnitude 5.2 to 8.4 on the Richter scale that have occurred in five countries since 1952, were studied. This report documents the performance of power...

Microcomputer Applications in Transportation II
This book contains over 80 papers associated with the North American Conference on Microcomputers in Transportation held in Boston, Mass., from June 29-July 1, 1987. The papers address...

Finite Element Idealization for Linear Elastic, Static, and Dynamic Analysis of Structures in Engineering Practice
This report by the Finite Element Idealization Task Committee is a comprehensive aid for modeling structures for finite element analysis. The first part covers static analysis. Aspects...

Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities
The Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities attempts to improve the quality of the constructed product through interdisciplinary communication. Papers examine the causes and costs of failures...

Computing in Civil Engineering
This book contains papers submitted for presentation at the Fourth Annual Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering. General topics include computer graphs, computer aided design, computer...

Planning for Hydro Projects in an Integrated System
The Incorporated County of Los Alamos, New Mexico (County) is forming an integrated electric utility system to serve the combined loads of the County and the Los Alamos National Laboratory...

First Impulse Turbine in the U.S. Mining Industry
The United States Bureau of Mines has funded a research project to investigate the improvements made in the operation of mine refrigeration systems when a thermal energy recovery system...

Operation of the Annapolis Tidal Straflo Unit
The Annapolis Tidal Generating Station, located at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, is the first plant in North America to generate electricity by Tidal action. The facility, rated at 19....

Hydraulic Transients?Helms Pumped Storage Project
Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Helms Pumped Storage project is a large underground hydroelectric development which went into commercial operation in June 1984. Because...

The Pacific Northwest Hydropower Data Base Study
The Hydropower Data Base is presently a functional tool for evaluating hydropower in the Northwest. It is a complete system which has been implemented using a variety of crosschecks and...

The Corps of Engineers' New Hydropower Manual
The Corps of Engineers has recently completed a new Engineering Manual (EM), which outlines procedures used for the evaluation of hydropower projects. It will serve as the basic Corps...

Economic Analysis of Hydroelectric Projects
This paper deals with specifics and refinements that develop 'rules of thumb' for analysis of hydro projects. The authors' experience is on sites...
