Time Management for Engineers and Constructors
This book is the first in a series which focuses on engineers' management needs. It presents time management principles for the practicing engineer and constructor, in a concise,...
Putting It Back
Before construction of the largest inclined turbines in the U.S., the Santa Ana River would carry storm flows out to sea, lost to the residents of water-poor Orange County. The area's...

Geotechnology: An Environment of Change
Today's contaminated materials�soil and water�have been investigated and analyzed by geotechnical engineers for a long time. No other branch of engineering is better positioned,...
Seattle's Good Neighbor Policy
The West Point wastewater treatment plant in Seattle sits on a spit of land jutting into Puget Sound. Close by is Discovery Park, a haven for nature lovers, located on a bluff above the...
Landfill Liners from Top to Bottom
Since EPA began requiring geomembrane liners in 1982, liner system components have multiplied rapidly. At the same time, there has been a movement toward relatively large, sophisticated,...
Pumping Oil, Treating Soil
Oil was discovered on hilltop land in Signal Hill, Calif., in 1921, setting off one of the most wild land rushes the state has ever seen. Some 70 years and 20,000 oil wells later, the...
Excavating, OSHA-Style
When the Occupational Safety and Health Administration implemented its new, tougher trenching guidelines in July 1990, the agency opened the door for inventive excavation techniques. Contractors...
Knowledge Acquisition in Civil Engineering
Expert systems are an intriguing approach for transferring valuable problem-solving skills from the minds of human experts to the logic of computer programs. For the past several years,...
On the Reliability of Offshore Platforms Against Random Sea Waves and Earthquake Motions
Dynamic response of offshore structures to random sea waves and strong earthquake motions is investigated. The wave-structure interaction is represented using the generalized Morison equation...
Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Marine Structures Under Random Wave Loads
A simple nonlinear dynamic structure/ship model is combined with a filtered noise model of random wave loads. It is shown how this model can include (1) non-Gaussian wave elevations and...
Tension Leg Platform Response to Drag Forces by Equivalent Stochastic Quadratization
An equivalent stochastic 'quadratization' method is described for performing nonlinear stochastic response analyses of offshore platforms subject to wave and...
Loading Uncertainties in Extreme Waves
Uncertainties associated with extreme base shear forces and extreme overturning moments are estimated for an idealized eight-legged jacket platform. The structure is assumed to respond...
