Barbers Point Harbor: A Unique Solution for Port Upgrade
A remote-controlled model of a C9 containership was used to evaluate the navigability of existing harbor and entrance channel conditions in a three-dimensional physical model of Barbers...

Global Warming and Possible Effects on the Central and Southern Florida Project
The possible impacts of global warming on the operation and management of the Central and Southern Florida Project are examined. The potential impacts include sea level rise, tropical...

Global Climate Change Effects on Water Quality
The annual thermal energy cycle of Shasta Reservoir in California is simulated under scenarios of climate corresponding to present conditions and as predicted by global climate models...

Seven Legal Strategies to Cool Global Warming
There are seven types of legal approaches which can be employed by different levels of government to cool global warming. Application of these strategies, singly or in various combinations,...

Development of Storage Demand Relation for Reservoirs?A Probabilistic Approach
This paper presents a practical method for developing storage-demand relation for reservoirs by a probability analysis of the stream flow data. The method was employed by the author for...

The SHRP-LTPP Asphalt Resilient Modulus Pilot Study
A SHRP asphalt concrete resilient modulus pilot study was initiated to provide important supplemental information related to the AC M_r program. Initially,...

Performance of Epoxy-Coated Steel in Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement
Two sections of interstate highway in central Oklahoma were recently reconstructed. On both projects, northbound lanes were reinforced with epoxy-coated steel and southbound lanes were...

Concreting at Subfreezing Temperatures
Temperature affects the rate at which portland cement concrete develops strength. Below about 20?C, strength gain is retarded, whereas at higher temperatures it is accelerated. Strength...

Forensic Analysis Techniques for Joint Sealants
Growing concerns involving the field performance of pavement joint sealant materials has illustrated the need for forensic capabilities in determining the cause of sealant failures. Methods...

A Theoretical Approach to Characterize Reinforced Concrete Using Stress Waves
Although advances in nondestructive evaluation of structural concrete have been made, the ultrasonic determination of the placement of steel reinforcement in concrete remains difficult....

A Numerical Study of Kinematics of Nonlinear Water Waves in Three Dimensions
We present a new method for analyzing the kinematics of nonlinear water waves in a three-dimensional domain. This method is based on our extension and generalization of the mixed-Eulerian-Lagrangian...

Probability of Wave Force on Horizontal Members
This study is motivated by the works of Isaacson and Subbiah (1990) to evaluate the vertical wave force on a rigid horizontal member located in the vicinity of still water level with its...

Reliable Design-Wave Force Predictions for Seabed Pipelines
The results of three separate field research projects have been pulled together to provide a design formula for maximum wave-induced horizontal force on a submarine pipe. This broadly-applicable...

Static Wave Force Procedure for Platform Design
Since results from the Ocean Test Structure were presented at Civil Engineering in the Oceans IV in 1979, there have been numerous laboratory experiments and a few full-scale measurements...

Recent Wave Kinematics Experimental Studies
Kinematics in the near surface region of water waves have been measured with a laser Doppler anemometer in the laboratory. The major results of these recent wave kinematics measurements...

Wave Slamming on a Horizontal Circular Cylinder
The present paper describes an experimental study of the wave slamming force on a horizontal circular cylinder located near the free surface. The vertical force on a cylinder and the corresponding...

Effects of Freezing on Impact Properties of RTM Composites, and Their Applications in Offshore Structures
Resin transfer molding is rapidly being acknowledged as the process with potential to create perhaps the purest form of a composite material as representative of the concept of `material-by-design.'...

Mobile-Bed Physical Model Tests for the 1992 Olympic Harbour
The undistorted physical model is described which allowed the measurement of the wave induced velocity field along the main breakwater, and also in Somorrostro Beach (Barcelona). The current...

Thermal Strain Behaviour of Clays Cooled to Cryogenic Temperatures
The thermal expansion behaviour of two different types of clays (Boom clay from Belgium and a pure kaolinite-water paste) has been studied in a temperature range from +20? to -150?C (LNG...

New Admixtures for Cold Weather Concreting
Chemicals were tested for their ability to promote strength gain in portland cement concrete at low temperature. The admixtures depressed the freezing point of the mix water and accelerated...
