Building Beneath Boston
Up/down construction is a method in which a project's substructure and superstructure are simultaneously built. The substructure's wall, column and foundation...

Dallas' Flood Caverns
Dallas' North Central Expressway floods during heavy rains, but the dense development that helps create excessive runoff also precludes large detention ponds. The high-quality,...

Approximate Methods of Structural Analysis: Principles and Pitfalls
In this modern age when the trend in structural engineering and structural engineering education is to make more and more use of computers and standard structural analysis programs, there...

Wind Frame Design for Mid Rise Buildings
A brief discussion of drift limits is followed by design procedures for unbraced moment resisting wind frames and initial selection of optimized member sizes for chevron bracing frames....

Volcanic Episodes Near Yucca Mountain As Determined by Paleomagnetic Studies at Lathrop Wells, Crater Flat, and Sleeping Butte, Nevada
It has been suggested that mafic volcanism in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain, Nev., is both recent (20 ka) and a product of complex 'polycyclic' eruptions. This...

⁴⁰Ar/?⁹Ar Laser Fusion and K-Ar Ages From Lathrop Wells, Nevada, and Cima, California: The Age of the Latest Volcanic Activity in the Yucca Mountain Area
K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages from the Lathrop Wells volcanic center, Nevada, and from the Cima volcanic field,...

Multiple Event Considerations for Postclosure Seismic Hazard Evaluations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Postclosure waste canister design requirements suggest the values used for seismic design have less than a 10% chance of being exceeded in a 1,000 year postclosure period. Considerably...

Weapons Test Seismic Investigations at Yucca Mountain
Yucca Mountain, located on and adjacent to the Nevada Test Site, is being characterized as part of an ongoing effort to identify a potential high-level nuclear waste repository. This site...

Spent Fuel Waste Form Charactristics: Grain and Fragment Size Statistical Dependence for Oxidation Response
The Yucca Mountain Project of the U. S. Department of Energy is investigating the suitability of a site in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain, NV, for a high level nuclear waste repository....

Spent Fuel Waste Form Characteristics: Grain and Fragment Size Statistical Dependence for Dissolution Response
The Yucca Mountain Project of the U.S. Department of Energy is investigating the suitability of the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain, NV, for a high-level nuclear waste repository. All...

Energy Education in the Higher Education Systems of California
At San Francisco State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara there is an energy course: Societal Problems of Energy that is designed for non-science majors. The course...

Radioactive Waste Management?An Educational Challenge
University Radioactive Waste Management educational programs are being actively advanced by the educational support activities of the Offices of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM)...

Education?Path Towards Solution Regarding Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel
Education, not emotional reaction, is the path to take in the safe disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Education is needed at all levels: elementary schools, secondary schools, two-year colleges,...

Scientific Literacy and Public Education About High-Level Radioactive Waste
The citizens of the United States, and I would tend to believe of other countries, must be sufficiently science literate to make intelligent, rational decisions regarding energy and mineral...

BNFL and Education Living with Technology
Following upon a report to a House of Commons Select Committee, the Chairman and Chief Executive gave an undertaking to better inform young people about the Nuclear Industry. This lead...

Determination of Diffusivities of Sorbing and Nonsorbing Species in Rocks
Through-diffusion experiments were performed for the sorbing and nonsorbing species in granites. Determining methods of diffusivities were discussed according to sorption properties of...

Design Control Process Requirements for Geologic Repository Operations Area Design
This paper outlines U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) key regulations applicable to U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) design...

Design Control Overview fot the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Exploratory Shaft Facility
This paper presents an overview of the design control process used for the Exploratory Shaft Facility (ESF) at Yucca Mountain. Design and design control is a complex, often iterative,...

Performance Assessment in Early Phases of the Repository Design Process
Assessments of post-closure performance are an integral part of the design process for a repository for high-level nuclear waste. They provide input to the establishment of design requirements...

Design Considerations for the Yucca Mountain Project Site Characterization
The Site Characterization Facilities (SCF) to be located in volcanic tuff at Yucca Mountain is a challenge to manage, design, and construct. This challenge is a result of a number of factors....
