Settlement and Stability of Ocean Disposal Mounds
This study examines the engineering behavior of dredged material disposal mounds in Long Island Sound. The study area is located about eight miles off the coast of New Haven where several...
Wetland Creation in Baltimore Harbor
Three areas of Baltimore Harbor were examined for use as wetland sites by Interstate Division for Baltimore City. Each site presented unique and interesting challenges to design. Economic...
The London Dumping Convention and Its Role in Regulating Dredged Material: An Update
The United States is signatory to an international treaty that is implemented through the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter (London...
Tampa Harbor Florida Deepening Project
Tampa Harbor is one of the largest dredging projects ever undertaken by the Corps of Engineers. The major features of the deepening project which presented the greatest problems were the...
The Maryland Dredge and Fill Permit Process Handbook
Safe navigation in the waters of the State of Maryland is made possible, in part, by the continued maintenance dredging of the State's many ports and waterways. Dredging projects...
Environmental Management Problems of Dredged Material Islands in the Tampa Bay Area
Between 1977 and 1982, four new islands were created in Hillsborough Bay as part of the Tampa Harbor Deepening Project. The islands are now 3-7 years old. They exhibit striking differences...
Dredge Automation: The State-of-the-Art
Automated control systems are being developed and applied to enhance the productivity and cost-effectiveness of dredges. Referring particularly to hydraulic type dredging plants, the functions...
Dredged Material for Backbarrier Salt Marshes
Gulf Coast barrier islands, especially those fronting the Mississippi River Delta, are eroding at a rapid rate. Natural subsidence caused by consolidation of Recent deltaic deposits and...
Environmental Legislation Impact on the Port of New York and New Jersey
Environmental legislation since 1972 has resulted in an extensive evaluation of dredged material disposal alternatives for New York Harbor navigation projects. Consideration has been given...
PCB Contaminated Sediments from Petit-de-Grat, Canada
In Canada, ocean disposal of dredged materials is regulated by the Ocean Dumping Control Act. Included within the schedules of regulated substances are organochlorine compounds, such as...
Dispersal of Wastewater in the Ocean--A Cascade of Processes at Increasing Scales
An engineering system for marine waste disposal is described. Design decisions are based on broad categories of input information: the complete description of the waste to be discharged;...
Mixed Layer Modelling of Stratification in Lakes
Mathematical models for vertical heat transfer processes in lakes and reservoirs are grouped into two classes: diffusion models and mixed layer models. In recent years much of the progress...
Reliability Analysis as Reflected from the Fourth International Symposium on Stochastic Hydraulics
Reliability analysis is perhaps one of the most practically important branches of the general field of stochastic hydraulics. Its potential applications include quantitative evaluation...
Stability of Method of Characteristics
For the analysis of waterhammer, the first-order accurate method of characteristics (MOC) has been widely used for which Courant condition for stability has been developed neglecting the...
Instruments Detect Dam Movement During Construction
Recent attention has been given to retrofitting electrical generation facilities at existing dams. Maintaining a safe structure during construction, and accomplishing this within a budget...
Flow and Scour Patterns around Gabion Structures
There is a need for simple, inexpensive and effective means for streambank protection and fish habitat enhancement. Initial results are presented of laboratory research on the performance...
Movable-Bed Model Investigation of Littoral Drift on the Intake and Outlet of Lin-Kou Power Plant (I)
The establishment and operation of a distorted movable-bed model of the cooling water intake and outlet is described. The model employed is a three-dimensional movable-bed Froude model...
Information Retrieval Sources and Availability in Hydraulics
There is a very general unawareness of information available on hydraulic studies, application of these studies and import for other projects, and results of new project design methods....
Fisheries Engineering Program at Washington State University
Problems associated with the interrelationships of instream hydraulic structures, and migratory and resident fish, are in need of better analysis and design. This improvement can be realized...
A Systems Approach to the Assessment of Water Supply, Treatment, Storage and Distribution Systems
To focus on the needs of a system at present and in the future and to foresee potential problem areas prior to their occurrence, it is advisable for the management of a water utility to...
