Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics
The theme of these Proceedings is Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Hydraulics. As indicated by the title, the subject crosses disciplinary boundaries and deals with flow...

Irrigation and Groundwater Quality in the South
Impact of irrigation trend, water table fluctuations, crop management, and tillage systems on groundwater quantity and quality of the southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina)...

Geotechnical Construction Control Data Base Package
A data base can be defined as pieces or groups of data stored together in an orderly form such that access to all or any part of the data can be readily accomplished. A computerized data...

Project Cost Control for Heavy Equipment
Some concepts and methods of project cost control for heavy equipment have been defined, which include methods, effectiveness, outside repairs, and the resulting management information,...

Teaching Experiment in Real-Time Construction Data Acquisition
This paper describes an experiment used in an undergraduate civil engineering course to familiarize students with interfacing electronic instruments mounted on a construction machine to...

Hypars and Wood Shells?The Boston College Recplex
For the past twenty years, we have been involved in the design and construction of intermediate span wood hyperbolic paraboloid. During that time the spans have ranged from 50 ft. to 200...

Rapid Identification of High Risk Building in Seismic Regions Using Expert Systems
Seismic risk evaluation is a complex problem because it involves many factors such as ground motion, ground failure potential and structural performance with great uncertainties. Many...

The Promise of Supercomputers
This paper briefly reviews the classification and general architecture of supercomputers: their capabilities, promise, current and projected limitations are considered. The author reviews...

CAPPS: Custom Architectured Parallel Processing System
CAPPS (Custom Architectured Parallel Processing System) is under development at Paragon Pacific Inc. , Torrance, CA, for the solution of computationally intensive engineering problems....

Supply Side Engineering
In New Jersey, the Hackensack Water Co., a private utility, and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, a state agency, are jointly completing Wanaque South, a $151 million...

Nonlinear Quasi-Static and Transient Response Analysis of Shallow Shells: Formulations and Interior/Boundary Element Algorithms
Nonlinear integral equations are derived for the representation of displacements of shallow shells undergoing moderately large, quasi-static or dynamic deformations. A combined interior/boundary...

A Study on Non-Conforming Boundary Elements in Elastomechanics
This work is a critical study on the performance of non-conforming boundary elements in three-dimensional elastomechanics. The pervasive way of implementing the boundary element method...

An Integrated Approach to Structure and Control Design of Space Structures
In this paper the authors have investigated the effect of passive damping on the optimum structural design with active controls. The minimum weight design is obtained by imposing the constraints...

Optimum Seismic Structural Design with Tendon and Mass Damper Controls and Random Process
This paper describes the optimization of structural weight for seismic structures implemented by active control systems. The instantaneous open-loop optimal control algorithm is used for...

Connection Panel Zone Deformation in Steel Frames
Conventional analyses of frameworks are usually carried out without considering the effect of panel zone deformation on frame behavior. As a result, center-to-center distances rather than...

A System Framework for Engineering Risk Analysis
A mathematical system framework is developed to model a series of criteria called performance indices (PI) related to engineering risk in water resources. Such criteria include reliability,...

Transportation Infrastructure Information Systems
The current crisis in the nation's transportation infrastructure necessitates the development of innovative data management systems to facilitate and implement analysis algorithms...

Avoiding Cracks in Brickwork
Many aspects of movement and differential movement have been discussed. However, other movements and effects of movement that have not been discussed may also affect the performance of...

Structural Monitoring Concepts for Arctic Pipelines
Terrain instabilities producing differential soil movements are the predominant features affecting the structural integrity and design of buried pipeline systems in the arctic. Current...

Lifeline Risk Analyses: The Mokelumne Aqueduct Study
Probabilistic risk analysis methods are applied to the evaluation of seismic and non-seismic vulnerability of a 25-kilometer length of a major lifeline aqueduct system. In addition to...
