Marina Parking Study
This marina parking study establishes a rationale for determining parking demand at marinas on the north shore of Long Island Sound in Connecticut and New York. The study was performed...
Design and Construction of Boat Launching Ramps
Although boat launching ramps are not 'high tech' facilities compared to many other types of waterfront construction, there is a continuing void of knowledge,...
Facility Accessibility Through Barrier-Free Design
This paper will outline the background, methodology and approval process used in developing national uniform design standards for barrier-free access to public boating and fishing facilities....
World Marina '91
This proceedings,
Politics and Engineering
The 1991 winner of the Daniel W. Mead Student essay contest states that there is a stereotype of engineers as those who derive recreational pleasure from seeing who can do most with a...
Aseismic Reliability of a Strengthened R.C. Single Story Industrial Building
Based on results of seismic hazard analysis for a considered site, seismic reliability of a strengthened RC single-story industrial building against collapse has been evaluated. Inelastic...
Towards Reduction of the Vulnerability of Multi-Tank Storage Facilities
Accident scenarios in large scale industrial plants show that conventionally designed multi-tank storage facilities are susceptible to domino effects. With the aim to reduce the probability...
A Doubling Design: Rochester's Expanding Airport
Few projects offer greater design challenges or pose more critical construction complexities than a new air passenger terminal, especially when that new terminal must be built on land...
Unlocking Arena Gridlock
The Charlotte Coliseum features a $22 million reversible lane system, which provides easier access to and from 8,000 parking spaces. To improve access to the arena, a 3.6 mi road extension...
Industrial Strength 3-D
Williams assesses the benefits of using three-dimensional computer modeling in the design of industrial structures, comparing the reality in which the computer is a useful tool for engineers...
MRS Systems Study, Task F: Transportation Impacts of a Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility
The passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 (NWPAA) modified the basis from which the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) had derived and developed...
TN28V High Capacity Cask for the Transport and Storage of Vitrified Wastes
When the option of reprocessing has been selected, closing of the fuel cycle implies the return shipment of reprocessing wastes back to the country of origin of the spent fuel, in particular...
Current Social Systems Issues in the U.S. High Level Waste Management Program
Major changes in the U.S. high level waste management program since passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) have weakened the social consensus about waste policy that existed...
Defining the Need for and Functions of the Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) Facility
A series of system studies of the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System were conducted by the Department of Energy (DOE) to determine the role for a Monitored Retrievable Waste...
Facility Interface Capability Assessment (FICA) Project
The U.S. Department of Energy-Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (DOE-OCRWM) is sponsoring the Facility Interface Capability Assessment Project to determine current and potential...
Opportunities for the Nuclear Waste Negotiator
The Nuclear Waste Negotiator (the Negotiator) has the potential to have a significant positive impact on the United States High-level Radioactive Waste Management program perhaps more...
Preliminary Conceptual Design Description of the Proposed DOE Store-Only Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) Facility
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982 required DOE to examine the options for the provision of long term spent fuel storage in monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facilities. Specifically,...
Requirements and Concept for an On-Orbit Construction Facility for Phase 1 Space Station Freedom
Future NASA plans for exploring the solar system and programs such as the Large Deployable Reflector and Pathfinder require in-space construction for their success. The technologies required...
Site Constraints for a Lunar Base
A rigorous site plan is a prerequisite for quantitative analyses of lunar base operations. The development of such a site plan, done for a detailed lunar base study (RLSO, 89), is described...
Lunar Base Elements Designed for Robotic Operations
Equipment concepts developed for a study of robotic lunar surface operations are presented. The concepts were evolved together with a consistent robotic buildup and operations scenario;...
