Hydraulic Model Study of the Prado Dam Spillway
The existing Prado Dam, located in the City of Corona, CA, is deficient in providing adequate flood protection to the Santa Ana River floodplain downstream of the dam. To provide adequate...
Irrigation of Grain Sorghum on the Delmarva Peninsula
Irrigated grain sorghum experiments were conducted for two years on a Norfolk sandy loam soil. Full irrigation was compared to partial irrigation and no irrigation in a randomized block...
Designing Concrete Culverts to Resist Scour Damage
Concrete culverts have been used for over 100 years. In this period, the main design concern centered on structural and hydraulic adequacy of the culvert. Scour is a relatively recent...
Identification of Regional (Third Party) Impacts Associated with the Truckee River Operating Agreement
This paper focuses on problems and solutions encountered to identify regional impacts of the Truckee River Operating Agreement (TROA). Two issues influenced the development of a regional...
Study of Hydraulic Jump Lengths on Inclined Channel Beds
A hydraulic jump is generally used to dissipate kinetic energy of flow to protect man-made structures such as spillways, drop structures, and outlet works. It serves as a perfect location...
A Knowledge Based System for the Design of Open Channels
The design of open channel facilities often calls for evaluation of a unique set of physical conditions which do not lend themselves to standard designs and textbook solutions. Consequently,...
Design of Guide Banks for Bridge Abutment Protection
As an alternate to designing bridge abutments to withstand the development of the full scour prism predicted by equations currently available for estimating abutment scour, FHWA recommends...
Restoration Design for Urban Streams: Anacostia River Basin, Maryland
Several stream restoration projects have been undertaken by the Army Corps of Engineers in the Maryland portion of the Anacostia River basin. Measures used include bank stabilization,...
The Costs and Benefits of Dam Removal on the Elwha River
The Elwha River is located on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington. In the early 1900s two hydroelectric dams were built on the Elwha River. Construction of Glines Canyon and...
Design of a Floodplain Road Crossing Using Two Dimensional Modeling
A two dimensional hydraulic model (FESWMS) is prepared to evaluate flood conditions for the Canal Parkway Project, located in western Maryland. The parkway includes a 32 meter bridge replacement...
Large River Diversion Optimization Considering the Uncertainties Involved
Temporary river diversion during major construction (i.e., large dams) is a challenging job. Selection of diversion system capacity and the dimension of the system components are subject...
Rock Foundations
This manual provides technical criteria and guidance for the design of rock foundations for civil works or other similar large military structures. It provides a minimal standard to be...
Another Times Square Attraction (Available only in
Located in the middle of Times Square, 1540 Broadway has become a prominent fixture in this rapidly changing area of New York. Originally designed by Skidmore Owings Merrill, New York,...

Worldwide Advances in Structural Concrete and Masonry
This proceedings contains the papers presented at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Committee on Concrete and Masonry Structures (CCMS) Symposium on Worldwide Advances in...
Visualizing the Flow
Digital modeling of passive cooling techniques now enables engineers to create comfortable environments in even the most unlikely of spaces�including glass atriums in the desert. Passive...
Success or Failure: A Tale of Two Projects
Twenty city blocks and a ten year period separated two projects of similar purposes, but with completely different endings. The first one, the Delancey Street Project, took place in 1984...
19 Tough Acts to Follow
The nominations for this year's Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award included everything from runway extensions to highway extensions, water fun parks to water...
Scour Power
New prediction methods consistently calculate scour around bridge piers allowing engineers to better tailor pier design in rock and consolidated material. The leading cause of bridge failure...
