Lesson Learned form Implementing M&I Optimal Water Delivery
Few municipal water delivery systems are truly optimized to deliver a quantity of water at the least cost. Both the University of Kentucky and Memphis State University have attempted to...

Missouri River Least Tern and Piping Plover Model Development
As part of the update of the Missouri River Master Water Control Manual, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is evaluating the effects of numerous water management alternatives on endangered...

Low-Flow Frequency Analysis with Censored Data
Log-linear regression models are often fit to low-flow quantile estimates from gauged sites to obtain a relationship for estimating low-flow quantiles at ungauged sites. In some regions...

Homogeneity Tests Based Upon Gumbel Distribution
This paper analyzes the performance of three homogeneity tests for Gumbel distributed flood flows. The classic Dalrymple test, a method-of-moment Cv test, and a normalized-quantile test...

A Regional Model of Daily Streamflow for the Northeast United States
A regional flow duration curve (FDC) model is under development which relates daily streamflow at 166 unregulated basins in the northeastern U.S. to watershed and climatic characteristics....

Analysis of Missouri River System Operations Alternatives
The Corps of Engineers is conducting a study of alternative water control plans for the exiting Missouri River Mainstem System. Data on the effects of the alternatives on the various project...

An Integrated Approach to the Real-Time Control of Water Supply and Distribution Systems
In recent years, real-time automated operation and control schemes have been implemented for a number of water supply and distribution systems with varying degrees of success. This paper...

Opportunities, Constraints and Change in Reservoir Management
Changing hydrologic, economic, social and environmental conditions have focused attention on the opportunities for changing reservoir management. Such change can occur in three areas....

A Salmon Population Model for Evaluating Alternative Flow Regimes
Salmon populations in many Pacific coast rivers are in decline and in danger of becoming threatened or endangered. A fish population model that tracks chinook salmon from eggs to the immature...

MPOS Become VIPS
The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act made metropolitan planning organizations very important players in transportation decisionmaking. MPOs have been around since...

Improved Computer Simulation of 3D Wind Flow Around a Building
A two-layer method combining the k-? model with the one-equation model near the wall has been tested in computing the wind conditions around a cubic building. In contrast with the simple...

A New Automated System for Decision Support in the Construction Industry
This paper describes a collaborative project to research and develop a computer based decision support system for the construction industry. The system is intended primarily for use during...

CAD-Based Intelligent Drawings: An Automated Quality Control Approach to Land Development
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is currently used within every discipline of civil engineering. Initially, CAD was employed solely as a drawing/drafting tool. Current CAD packages, in conjunction...

Applying Multimedia Technology to Project Control
Construction project control and documentation require an accurate, complete, and efficient way of collecting, storing, and retrieving project information. This information contains construction...

SCADA System Controls Combined Sewer Overflow Regulation System to Optimize Wastewater Collection
The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District's Overflow Regulation System (ORS) project uses computer control of a wastewater collection system for the purpose of combined sewage overflow...

An Object-Oriented Approach to PC Finite-Element Solutions
A methodology for developing a finite-element program with a variety of applications within civil engineering is presented. Application include simple structural analysis, groundwater...

Computer-Assisted Instruction in Civil Engineering
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) software offers several advantages over traditional classroom instruction which makes it a useful addition to any curriculum, and the area is rapidly...

A Computerized Methodology for Conducting Pedestrian Gap Studies
this paper will detail recent improvements with the procedure the New York City Department of Transportation utilizes when conducting Pedestrian Gap Studies. These improvements were made...

A Real-Time Graphical Interface to a Two-Dimensional Groundwater Flow and Mass Transport Model
This paper describes the implementation of a graphical interface to the U.S. Geological Survey's Method of Characteristics (MOC) groundwater flow and mass transport model....

Blast Densification of a Thick, Loose Debris Flow at Mt. St. Helen's., Washington
Numerous debris flows occurred during the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helen's in Washington State. The proposed location of Bridge 12 over Coldwater Creek along State Route 504 is underlain...
