Engineer-Constructor Experience with Computer Aided Design and Engineering
Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation has used CAD/CAE equipment since 1974 and has developed organizations and procedures for integrating the technology into the design process....
Computer Aided Design of Reinforced Concrete
An interactive computer-aided design (CAD) program for the design of reinforced concrete members is herein described. The program, called ECPRS, designs reinforcement and performs all...
Consulting Engineers' Experience with CAD
A general, brief history of the role of computers in design in consulting engineering practice is presented. Their changing role from their initial early use to today's involvement...
Logan Airport Re-Visited
The first detailed evaluation of self-weight consolidation of a large hydraulic clay fill was performed during the construction of Logan Airport in Boston nearly 40 years ago. The paper...
Dredged Slurry Stabilization for Seagirt Marine Terminal
The Seagirt Marine Terminal is constructed on reclaimed land on dredged spoil from the I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. Three stabilization procedures considered applicable...
Dredging Developments in the Canadian Arctic
The use of dredges in the Canadian Arctic in connection with oil exploration programmes has lead to the adaptation of existing and adoption of new techniques. Further development is required...
Design and Construction - Theodore Ship Channel
Environmental impacts, greater technological capabilities, and improved evaluation techniques make the disposal of large quantities of dredge material more complex and involved. Also,...
Open Water Disposal for Marsh Creation James River, VA
There is a need for close cooperation between design and construction of levees on soft foundation for containing dredge material. The scope of this study included marine exploration,...
Abrasion Resistance of Polyethylene Dredge Pipe
In recent years there has been a slow but steady increase in the number of dredges using high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe in discharge lines. HDPE's increased popularity...
Selecting a Dredge Pump
While it is not necessary for the dredge operator to know how to design a dredge pump, the ability to select one that meets his project requirements is essential to insure the success...
Dredging-Related Considerations in Navigation Channel Design
In the design of a navigation project, the channel depth, width, and alignment for a given set of navigation requirements are dependent on physical, hydrodynamic, and sedimentological...
Dynamic Reliability Models for Hydraulic Structures
In addition to the determination of capacity and layout of hydraulic structures under normal design, one other important but related task that faces engineers is the evaluation of reliability....
Reliability Analysis as Reflected from the Fourth International Symposium on Stochastic Hydraulics
Reliability analysis is perhaps one of the most practically important branches of the general field of stochastic hydraulics. Its potential applications include quantitative evaluation...
Coping with High and Low Pressures of Transient Flow
Conditions exist in most long distance water pipelines, such that abnormal but inevitable occurrences will cause transient flow. Often the most crucial conditions for consideration by...
Hydraulic Analysis of Water Transmission Flowing Party Full
The hydraulic behavior of a transmission line that flows full along only part of its length is more difficult to analyze than a completely full line. Unsteady open-channel and closed-conduit...
Computer Aided Hydraulic Design of Pipelines
General purpose computer software packages are being used more frequently in the hydraulic design of pipeline systems. The areas where the use of such packages are advantageous over earlier...
Vacuum Assisted Pipelines Operation
In the process of upgrading the sewerage facilities for Lancaster, Pennsylvania, it was decided to combine two existing facilities into one new facility. This required the design of three...
Milwaukee Sewerage District Interplant Pipeline
The pipeline is intended to transfer solids between the Jones Island and South Shore treatment works a distance of approximately 12 miles (19. 3 km). The 4 conduit pipeline comprising...
The Design and Construction of the Bartletts Ferry Labyrinth Weir Spillway
The discharge capacity of the Bartletts Ferry Project has been increased 165 percent by the addition of a labyrinth weir spillway. The hydraulic design was based on a published design...
Valuable Design Insights Derived from Construction and Operation of Kinzua Dam
A number of design alternatives have surfaced during more than 17 years of operating experience at Kinzua Dam which should be useful in the design, construction, and operation of other...
