Implementation and Performance of Berm Breakwater Design at Racine, WI
A large berm-type breakwater has been constructed at the entrance to Racine Harbor, Wisconsin, on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The breakwater is approximately 450 feet long, in...

Berm Type Armor Protection for a Runway Extension at Unalaska, Alaska
A proposed runway extension located on the Aleutian islands was designed to withstand forces of Bering Sea storm generated waves using a unique armor protection concept. The proposed runway...

Priority Integrated Pipe Evaluation
The selection of the most suitable pipe for a given site involves the consideration of many factors affecting pipe performance. The factors to consider in sewer pipe evaluation and selection...

Retrospective Look Into Design Challenges of Boston Interceptors
The purpose of this paper is to share with designers and owners a retrospective evaluation of a major sewer system design effort. The process by which a major sewer design project reaches...

Successful Rehabilitation of Sewers at Hawaii Kai
Two common problems in sanitary sewer deterioration are hydrogen sulfide attack to concrete pipe and structures and infiltration leakage into the system. Within the 100 miles (160 km)...

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Results From Stege Sanitary District
Seven sewer agencies, including Stege Sanitary District, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area embarked on a 20-year capital improvement program in 1987. The 300 million construction...

Use of In-Place Lateral Reconstruction for Correction of Infiltration/Inflow
Extensive sewer collection system rehabilitation programs have done much and will continue to correct infiltration/inflow problems. However, re-evaluation of some of the earlier projects...

Getting to the Root of Sewer Problems
The ability to quantify and qualify work schedule in a clear, logical and precise manner can make the difference between an effective preventive maintenance program and one of 'trying'...

The Applicability of U.K. Sewerage Rehabilitation Techniques to the U.S.
The total length of public sewers in the UK is 160, 000 miles and in recent years there has been increasing concern over their conditions. Research spearheaded by the Water Research Centre...

Rehabilitation of the Seekonk River Interceptor Sewer, Providence, Rhode Island
The Seekonk River Interceptor, located in Providence, Rhode Island and owned by the Narragansett Bay Commission, is a combined sewer system originally built in the late 1800s. Portions...

Use of Data Base Management Systems for Sewer Line Rehabilitation
The use of data base management systems for managing the repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of sewer lines is a high priority for most cities and municipalities. Developing a data...

Sliplining with Ductile Iron Pipe
The utilization of Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) as an alternative to be considered for sliplining rehabilitation of sewer pipelines is evaluated. A recent experience in sliplining a failing...

Arctic Coastal Processes and Slope Protection Design
Cold regions present special challenges for civil engineers. The papers in this book address arctic coastal processes and slope protection design. The first part of the book focuses on...

Design and Evaluation of Storm Water Detention Facilities Using a Design Storm and Probable Maximum Storm
When designing a storm water detention facility, both a design storm (DS) and a probable maximum storm (PMS) should be considered. The DS is used to design the facility. The PMS is used...

Scodie Canyon Flash Floods of 1984
This paper describes a unique thunderstorm and flood which occurred in Kern County, California in 1984. It describes the follow-up studies and method of implementation of building restrictions...

Overview o New England Coastal Flood Study Methodology
This paper presents an overview of the development of methologies used to determine the probabilistic flood levels for New England coastal flood insurance studies. The Federal Insurance...

Hydrodynamic Response of an Estuary to Storm Forcing
Previous work on the response/sensitivity of an estuarine hydrodynamic model to the choice of model parameters is extended to include a preliminary consideration of wind-generated waves....

Partial Area, Variable Source, Rainfall Runoff Model Utilizing Digital Mapping
A partial area, variable source hydrologic rainfall/runoff model, called MAPHYD, was developed utilizing digital maps, interactive computer graphics, and several infiltration mechanisms....

Pipeline Infrastructure
These proceedings include papers which cover the topics of innovative pipeline design, condition monitoring, soil-pipe interaction, inspection, maintenance, and rehabilitation. These collective...

Rainfall Analysis for Efficient Detention Ponds
Intensity-duration-frequency analysis of rainfall data is traditionally used for the selection of design storm required to size, storage capacity in detention/retention ponds without consideration...
