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...
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,...
Reef Breakwater Response to Wave Attack
A method of predicting stability of a class of low-crested rubble mounds referred to as reef breakwaters is presented. Findings are based on a study which included an extensive series...
Reshaping Breakwaters on the Stability of Roundheads and Trunk Erosion in Oblique Waves
The stability of a berm type breakwater (sacrificial breakwater) was tested in a 3-dimensional model at The Hydraulics laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Aalborg....
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...
Experimental and Historical Verification of the Performance of Naturlly Armouring Breakwaters
A series of hydraulic model test were carried out to investigate the mechanism by which naturally armoring breakwaters, that is breakwaters in which the initial profile is adjusted into...
The Development of a Design for a Breakwater at Keflavik, Iceland
A breakwater design was developed to be built using local quarried rock and relatively simple construction methods. The design significant wave height was 5.8 and the maximum depth of...
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...
Unconventional Rubble-Mound Breakwaters?Concerns
A Seminar on Unconventional Rubble-Mound Breakwaters was held in Ottawa, Canada, on the 15th and 16th of September 1987. This paper is an attempt to summarize the general discussion that...
Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures and Specifications for Masonry Structures
The proposed Building Code Requirements and Specifications for Masonry Structures presented in this book were developed by the Joint American Concrete Institute, American Society of Civil...
The `Down' of Top Down
The 800-space parking area for the Milwaukee Center was built in a four story deep basement of the building. In order to excavate the area without damaging two adjacent historic structures,...
U.S. Embassy In Moscow: A Structural Stalemate
The fate of the nearly finished American embassy in Moscow should be decided by next fall. In the meantime, it stands empty. On April 15, 1987, Congress made public a National Bureau of...
Current Developments in Reinsulating/Waterproofing Underground Steam Mains in New York City
The objective of Con Edison's reinsulation project is to develop the materials and technology necessary to reinsulate those steam distribution mains having excessive thermal...
Pipeline Curvature by Polynomial Approximation
Since start-up of the trans-Alaska pipeline in June of 1977, a variety of techniques have been investigated to monitor pipe settlement and evaluate associated pipe integrity. During the...
Microcomputer Knowledge-Based Expert Systems in Civil Engineering
This book contains sixteen papers presenting applications of expert system technology to civil engineering problems with emphasis on microcomputer implementations. It is divided into four...
A Summary Description of Design Criteria, Codes, Standards, and Regulatory Provisions Typically Used for the Civil and Structural Design of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities
A summary of design criteria, codes, standards, and regulatory provisions applicable to the civil and structural design of the eight principal facilities of the nuclear fuel cycle are...
