Space Saving Dry-Stack Boat Storage Facility
Given sales and demographic data of recreational boating, urban dry-stack marinas will be the trend of the future where there is no room to expand. This paper describes a modern automated...
Innovation in the Marina Facilities
To meet the need for sufficient pleasure boat storage facilities in Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has developed a new type of boat storage system called 'Mitsubishi...
Dry Stack Operations
The design and operation of dry stack boat storage systems have undergone a significant evolution during the past two decades. Now, in the decade of the nineties, these systems are becoming...
Marina Parking Study
This marina parking study establishes a rationale for determining parking demand at marinas on the north shore of Long Island Sound in Connecticut and New York. The study was performed...
Design and Construction of Boat Launching Ramps
Although boat launching ramps are not 'high tech' facilities compared to many other types of waterfront construction, there is a continuing void of knowledge,...
Facility Accessibility Through Barrier-Free Design
This paper will outline the background, methodology and approval process used in developing national uniform design standards for barrier-free access to public boating and fishing facilities....
Loma Prieta Earthquake?Emergency Response and Restoration: Water and Sewerage Lifelines
Water and Sewerage systems performed very well with a few exceptions in the Loma Prieta earthquake. Pipeline damage occurred in unstable ground. Damage at treatment plants was due to sloshing...
Performance of Liquid Storage Tanks during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake
Utilities and industrial facilities in the strong shaking area of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake include a large inventory of tanks of all types. The earthquake induced a few incidents...

Time Management for Engineers and Constructors
This book is the first in a series which focuses on engineers' management needs. It presents time management principles for the practicing engineer and constructor, in a concise,...
Putting It Back
Before construction of the largest inclined turbines in the U.S., the Santa Ana River would carry storm flows out to sea, lost to the residents of water-poor Orange County. The area's...

Air-Water Mass Transfer
This monograph, Air-Water Mass Transfer: Selected Papers from the Second International Symposium on Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces, consists of papers presented at the Symposium which...
Knowledge Acquisition in Civil Engineering
Expert systems are an intriguing approach for transferring valuable problem-solving skills from the minds of human experts to the logic of computer programs. For the past several years,...
On the Reliability of Offshore Platforms Against Random Sea Waves and Earthquake Motions
Dynamic response of offshore structures to random sea waves and strong earthquake motions is investigated. The wave-structure interaction is represented using the generalized Morison equation...
Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Marine Structures Under Random Wave Loads
A simple nonlinear dynamic structure/ship model is combined with a filtered noise model of random wave loads. It is shown how this model can include (1) non-Gaussian wave elevations and...
Tension Leg Platform Response to Drag Forces by Equivalent Stochastic Quadratization
An equivalent stochastic 'quadratization' method is described for performing nonlinear stochastic response analyses of offshore platforms subject to wave and...
Loading Uncertainties in Extreme Waves
Uncertainties associated with extreme base shear forces and extreme overturning moments are estimated for an idealized eight-legged jacket platform. The structure is assumed to respond...
