LRFD for U. S. Bridge Design ? Validation Issues
During the 1987 meeting of the AASHTO Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures, recommendations from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), Project 20-7/31, regarding...
Guide for Evaluating Engineering Software
This is a practical guide to the problem of assessing the suitability of computer software being considered for use in engineering analysis, design or decision making. Each chapter treats...
Using Role Analysis for Instream Flow Negotiations
Improved understanding of multi-agency decisionmaking has been called for but is rarely achieved, partially because there is no well known, broadly accepted technique for conducting an...
HYPOS?Hourly System Hydropower Scheduling
HYPOS (Hydro Power Scheduling) is a modification of the program HYPO as presented at Waterpower 81. HYPOS is an interactive system which allows schedulers to assign hourly power generation...
Water Requirements for Range Plant Establishment
A conceptual model was developed which describes a series of pathways or transition sequences which a seed or seedling may follow during the initial wet-dry-wet periods after planting....
Hale Cycle and Indian Drought and Flood Area Indices
The Indian Drought (DAI) and flood (FAI) area indices have been argued to be related to the hale cycle of sunspot number by H. N. Bhalme and D. A. Mooley. They studied the dependence between...
Validation of the CICE Code for Ice Ride-Up and Ice Ridge Cone Interaction
The discrete element method is capable of analyzing multiple, interacting, deformable, discontinuous or fractured bodies undergoing large motions and rotations. The formulation solves...
Validation of SWRRB?A Simulator for Water Resources in Rural Basins
The three major components of SWRRB are weather, hydrology, and sedimentation. Processes considered include surface runoff, return flow, percolation, evapotranspiration, transmission losses,...
Vehicle Sound Power measurement Using the Acoustic Intensity Method
The use of the two microphone Acoustic Intensity Method of obtaining accurate measurement of over-all sound power of large wheel loaders is described. This system is in operation, within...
Better Design Documents Through Constructibility Review
The Corps of Engineers (Corps) improves the quality of design documents by an extensive program to review in-house and Architect/Engineer (A/E) designs. This review is composed of several...
Administrative Aspects of Project Software
This paper reviews the various aspects of administering the development, control, and use of computer software employed to support the design office in the administrative and technical...
Vibration Isolation of Cable Tray Hangers
Analytical and experimental investigations have been performed to partially evaluate the feasibility of using much more flexible support systems than those presently used to support electrical...
Sedimentation Consolidation Models?Predictions and Validation
In very soft sediments, questions have arisen concerning the capability of standard computational techniques used to implement calculations. The problems mainly lie in the manner in which...
Continuing Education in Engineering�What's New?
ASCE's growing program in continuing education is described, plus a view of projected program growth. Two background factors�whether or not more states are likely to follow...
