Comparison of Predicted and Measured Dynamic Behavior of Allied Bank Plaza
Structural engineering aspects of a monitoring program to measure Allied Bank Plaza tower's dynamic response to wind are presented. In particular, field data developed during...

Design of Viscoelastic Dampers for Columbia Center Building
To reduce the dynamic response of a building with a given height and plan area to wind load, aside from inherent damping of the building, the designer has a few options available to him/her....

Performance of Viscoelastic Structural Dampers for the Columbia Center Building
Vibratory motion of structures such as buildings, bridges, and floors can be reduced by the use of viscoelastic (V. E. ) dampers. Such dampers transfer part of the vibratory energy of...

Complex Tower Meets Quake Code
A Los Angeles building consists of a triangular 23-story office tower stacked on top of an 11-story rectangular parking garage. The dual-shape is unique in seismically active southern...

The Application of Computer Simulation in the Design of Marine Terminals and the Scheduling of Ship Traffic
This paper describes a software package which simulates the operations of marine terminals. The computer programs were designed to assess the effectiveness of the available design alternatives...

Marina Design and Environmental Concern
Research initiated by a Florida Cabinet Resolution of August 6, 1974, has generated two models for the evaluation of the impact of marina development on coastal waters. One, a complex...

Siltation of the Port of Astoria
Sedimentation rates suddenly increased in the Port of Astoria, Oregon, immediately following the May 18, 1980 ash eruption of Mt. St. Helens. This ash was transported down the Columbia...

Marina Flushing and Sedimentation
The paper discusses a one-dimensional circulation model for the marina. Tides are modeled as long waves and are assumed to be much longer than the marina. This circulation model is coupled...

Design Concepts for Floating Breakwaters
This paper describes a fundamental approach to the design of a floating breakwater based on the concepts of dynamic analysis of floating bodies. The process results in a relatively simple...

Berthing Impact Force Distribution on Pile Supported Pier Structures
This paper investigates the degree to which a berthing impact force is distributed to the pile bents of batter pile supported pier structures. A procedure is developed to estimate the...

Berthing Simulation Method for Fender System
For the design of marine fender systems, berthing and mooring forces should be taken into account. Berthing forces are considered in this paper. A unique berthing simulation method has...

Navigation Channel Design for Safe and Efficient Ship Transit
The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) recently conducted a hydraulic model investigation of the western portion of Cleveland Harbor, Ohio. This study provided data...

Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors Tidal Circulation Study
Expansion of harbor facilities frequently involves placement of additional landfill and the deepening of channels and mooring areas. A numerical tidal circulation model was used in the...

Analytical and Empirical Methods for Predicting Channel Shoaling
Many techniques have been used in the past to predict the effects of channel enlargement on channel shoaling. These range from rule-of-thumb predictions to elaborate physical model investigations....

Recent Advances in Structural Dynamics
The four papers in this book emphasize the design, testing, and analysis of large structures. The topics covered include base isolation in the design and construction of power plant structures,...

Dynamic Response of Structures
The primary goal of the third specialty conference on the dynamics of structures was to provide a forum for dialogue between engineers conducting experimental tests and those developing...

Building Motion in Wind
The trend towards higher structural efficiency and hence lower cost has resulted in a generation of lighter and more flexible buildings with a lower inherent capacity for energy dissipation...

Plugging into a Dam
Instruments are embedded into hundreds to dams around the world. But for instrumentation to be effective, the instruments must be read, and the data must be plotted and compared to predicted...

Terzaghi Lectures
1974-1982
Sponsored by the Executive Committee of the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains eight lectures...

Physics-Based Modeling of Lakes, Reservoirs, and Impoundments
This book provides an overview of considerations that apply to modeling flow and transport in lakes, reservoirs, and impoundments using equations based on conservation principles. Specific...
