An Infiltration Based Runoff Model For Use With a Design Store
The feasibility of using an infiltration approach for routine runoff prediction has become a reality with the development of approximate infiltration models based on physical principles...
Data Acquisition and Analysis of Pressure Fluctuations in Hydraulic Jumps
The paper reports on a study to procure basic data on large pressure fluctuations in hydraulic jump stilling basins. Interest in pressure fluctuations relates to: the effect of dynamic...
Computer Techniques for Acquisition and Reduction of Cross-Section Data
DuPage County, Illinois, has initiated a county-wide stormwater management program for planning and flood mitigation purposes. Field data with horizontal and vertical control are obtained...
Landfill Liner Hydraulics for Microcomputers
Two different models are presented for the study of sloping bottom liners for landfills. The first is based on the assumption that the leachate volume is uniformly distributed over the...
Water System Analysis?Modeling Hydraulics
The work described in this paper is part of the planning and design effort for expanding and improving the water supply system for St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. The parish is...
Applicability of Groundwater Models to Microcomputers
Microcomputers represent a viable alternative to mainframe and minicomputers for the implementation of groundwater models. The criteria used to evaluate microprocessors are maximum addressable...
Three-Dimensional Simulation of Two-Fluid Movement in Porous Media Using the Boundary Element Method
The paper discusses three-dimensional problems that include a denser fluid overlain by water in an unconfined aquifer. The two fluid regions are bounded by two-dimensional surfaces, including...
Electronic Worksheet Applications in Hydrology and Hydraulics
Spreadsheet software packages are available for virtually all micro computers in use today. Although they are quite often thought of as business tools, their usefulness as engineering...
The Matched Artificial Dispersivity Method
The paper presents a class of models that are well-suited for microcomputing and that are based on what may be called the 'Matched Aritifical Dispersivity' method....
Analytic Solution for Seepage from Saturated Soil Behind a Braced Wall
The locations of streamlines and equipotentials for two-dimensional flow in the vertical plane normal to a vertical retaining wall can be determined by various methods. Recent extension...
Microcomputer Graphics Flood Stationarity Test
Only records that correspond with present river conditions should be used with flood frequency analysis when forecasting. A microcomputer test is discussed which aids in selecting appropriate...
Flood Peak Program for Urbanizing Semi-Arid Areas
This paper describes a microcomputer program for flood peak determination based on a highly modified version of the Rational method developed by M. E. Zeller, which employs the Soil Conservation...
A Microcomputer Based Real-Time Flood Warning System
A microcomputer based real-time flood warning system is being developed as an event monitoring and early warning system for local areas. The system consists of a micro computer based central...
Instrumentation for an Uplifting Ice Force Model
Pile-supported, light duty structures are especially vulnerable to the uplifting forces. To evaluate the parameters that control the magnitude of the uplifting force a laboratory model...
Automated Analysis of High Accident Locations
Identification of high accident locations and associated accident causative factors as well as determination and evaluation of appropriate remedial measures at these sites are continuing...
APM System Performance and Guideway Design Parameters
Automated People Movers (APM) are a relatively new form of transportation system becoming popular over the last twenty to twenty-five years. They are characterized by fully automatic and...
APM Configuration Concepts and Network Design
The simpler networks, along with several of the more complex variations, include the following: Single-Lane Shuttle, Single-Lane Shuttle with Bypass, Double-Lane Shuttle, Single-Lane Loop,...
Transport by Cable: Possibilities and Limits
Cable systems offer a high degree of passenger safety; they do not cause pollution and can, in a very flexible way, be adapted to the local conditions. They can be operated as reversible,...
Investigation of Design Criteria for APM Guideways
Designers have relied mostly on the provisions of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. Sometimes...
The Possibility of People Mover Cost Reduction in Japan
One of the major problems preventing the introduction of people movers into urban areas is their expensive unit cost in comparison with existing transport technologies. In this paper,...
