Continuous Drainage System Modeling of Jones Run
A generalized package of hydrologic and hydraulic models has been developed for the quantitative analysis of watersheds and drainage networks. The package is called ODWAP (the Old Dominion...

GWPATH: Ground-Water Flow Path Analysis
GWPATH is an interactive software package for estimating horizontal fluid pathlines and travel time in fully saturated groundwater flow domains. GWPATH was developed for the IBM PC-AT...

A Vectorized Polynomial Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Solver Package for the USGS 3-D Ground-Water Model
A vectorized polynomial preconditioned conjugate gradient (PPCG) numerical algorithm is presented as an additional solver package interfaced with the Modular Three-Dimensional Finite Difference...

Computer Based Master Plans Manage Water Resources
Scottsdale is pursuing water and wastewater master planning with the goal of implementing a proactive water resources management policy. To prepare dynamic master plans with the above...

CLNET?A Computer Model for Tracking Movement, Decay, and Concentrations Throughout Water Distribution Systems
This paper describes a computer program package for modeling the spread and subsequent decay of chlorine for modeling as water travels throughout a water distribution system. This total...

Statistical Modeling of Space-Time Data
A common practice in hydrogeology is to draw contour lines to depict the occurrence of spatially distributed (i.e., regionalized) variables such as groundwater elevations, aquifer properties...

Introducing Geostatistics?Estimating Spatial Data
The theory of regionalized variables commonly known as geostatistics is now being applied throughout the community of engineering and sciences. Measurements taken at different locations,...

Movement of Chloride Ions in a Saturated Soil Sample
A series of laboratory experiments were performed to demonstrate and track the migration of chloride ions in saturated soil samples undergoing freezing. Results from these experiments...

Towards a Better Simulation of Sea States for Modelling of Coastal Structures
In the last fifteen years, techniques of wave generation have advanced to such an extent that it is now possible to exercise controls of parameters such as wave grouping, wave asymmetries,...

Application of Computational Model on Berm Breakwater Design
The development of a computational model on dynamic stability is summarized. The model is able to predict profiles of slopes with an arbitrary shape under varying wave conditions. The...

The Design and Construction of a Mass Armoured Breakwater at Hay Point, Australia
The design and construction of a prototype mass armored breakwater is briefly described. The paper also explores the practicality of allowing the progressive interaction of design, physical...

Computing in Civil Engineering
Microcomputers to Supercomputers
This book contains papers presented at the Fifth Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering. Computer applications in specific disciplines are covered. These include construction engineering...

Soil Parameters for Design of Buried Pipelines
This paper presents the table of recommended design parameters for soil, shows their physical significance, and compares the resulting stiffness and strength for the variety of soil and...

New Installation Designs for Buried Concrete Pipe
The rational development of new installation designs for buried concrete pipe is described. Over 100 analyses were performed using a new computer program named SPIDA (Soil Pipe Interaction...

Water Main Condition Monitoring A Case Study
Water main breaks, routine occurrences for water utilities, reflect the structural failure of the main. The trend in break patterns is increasing for many utilities in the U. S. Several...

Pipeline Infrastructure Rehabilitation
A significant amount of technological development has occurred during the past ten (10) years regarding the actual rehabilitation methods, or reconstruction procedures on the decaying...

Buried Pipeline Research Needs
A workshop was convened with representatives from universities, consulting engineering and research organizations, pipe and/or equipment manufacturers, constructors, users, and government...

Effects of Ground Failure on Ductile Iron Pipe
The design studies and procedures outlined in this paper for pipelines that must cross earthquake fault zones are also applicable to similar ground disturbances resulting from landslides,...

CADD Adds Safety to the Ryan
Computer aided design and drafting (CADD) was used to plan safety improvements for the Dan Ryan Viaduct, a two mile expressway in Chicago. Some 17 accidents per day took place along the...

Dams and Earthquakes: A Shaky Relationship
The rarity of earthquake-related dam failure does not mean that it can't happen. A phased geologic assessment could prevent potential catastrophe by determining where and...
