Image Analysis for Interparticle Contact Modeling
Two dimensional photoelastic elements (disks or ellipses) are used as models for studying granular material behavior. The required observations include accurate continuous measurements...
Image Enhancement: Application to Geotomography
Image enhancement complements geotomographic reconstruction in the rendering of better images. In this paper, available image enhancement techniques are reviewed. Emphasis is given to...
Displacements in the Soil Near a Tunnel Face Using Centrifuge Tests and Image Processing
Image processing is applied to measurements of the soil for a tunnel model in centrifuge. For this aim a specifical device has been developed on the LCPC centrifuge (Nantes, France) and...
Application of Digital Images and Processing for As-Built Construction Drawings
The production of as-built drawings is a labor intensive activity that often provides the facility owner with inaccurate or incomplete final drawings. This paper briefly reviews work accomplished...
A Constructability Lessons Learned System for Infrastructure Rehabilitation Using Digital Image Processing
Due to the complex nature of many infrastructure rehabilitation projects, there is a strong need for design/construction integration, and more specifically, the application of strong constructability...
Non-Destructive Remote Sensing of Hazardous Waste Sites
This paper describes how the non-contact, nondestructive, remote sensing techniques, of Computer Enhanced Infrared Thermography and Ground Penetrating Radar, may be used to detect buried...
Optimal Region Aggregation with Shape Considerations in Spatial Optimization
The region aggregation (land acquisition) problem is discussed within the context of a regular grid matrix having representative cell indices or attribute values. Several optimization...
Image Analysis Applied to Geotechnical Engineering
Application of scanning electron microscope and image analyzer to the quantification of grain morphology and microfabric of aged sands is briefly reviewed. Relationships of morphology...
Recycling Concrete and Asphalt Pavements Rehabilitation of Runway 18R-36L Orlando International Airport

Imaging the Future
Design professionals of all stripes, including engineers, will find themselves working with a variety of visual images more and more in the near future. Image literacy, an understanding...
Mixing and Delivery of Roller Compacted Concrete
Mixing and delivery of RCC are discussed. Both the design aspects such as variability and joint quality, and the construction aspects such as equipment capability and performance are covered....
Roller Compacted Concrete Mix Design
This paper presents a concise and proven mix design process. It covers all the steps necessary to produce a good roller compacted concrete (RCC) mix design for mass and structural applications,...
Coastal Geomorphology and Sand Budgets Applied to Beach Nourishment
It is commonly assumed beach nourishment projects are more successful if applied over long distances of shoreline. Short projects tend to unravel at the ends as the bulge formed by the...
Coastal Processes and Engineering on a Micronesian Fringing Reef
In 1980, portions of the fringing reef flat protecting the village of Tafunsak, Federated States of Micronesia, were dredged to provide fill material for an airport runway access road....
57 Years of Coastal Engineering Practice at a Problem Inlet: Indian River Inlet, Delaware
This paper presents a review of Indian River Inlet's behavior in its natural state prior to jetty construction and summarizes the level of understanding of coastal processes and inlet-bay...
Design and Construction of Shinnecock Inlet, New York
Shinnecock Inlet is the easternmost of six coastal inlet which bracket the barrier island on the south shore of Long Island, New York. Through recent history, Shinnecock Inlet has exhibited...
Value Engineering in Coastal Design
A formal procedure of value engineering can be applied to coastal design to refine a design and reduce the construction costs. Despite the relatively simple technology and materials used...
Environmental Impact Analysis of Coastal Projects
It is fairly routine to describe the range of impacts that might occur as a result of a proposed improvement, but problems and controversy often accompany attempts to answer the more pressing...
Our Aging Coastal Infrastructure
The River and Harbor Act of 26 May 1824, signed by President James Monroe, authorized the first involvement of the United States Federal government in the construction of harbor works...
