Hydrologic and Structural Considerations for the Initial Filling of Jiguey Dam, Dominican Republic
This paper describes the hydrologic and structural considerations of the initial filling of Jiguey Dam which is locate on the Rio Nizao about 100 kilometers west-northwest of Santo Domingo...

The City of Los Angeles Gray Water Pilot Project Shows Safe Use of Gray Water is Possible
A year-long study of eight residential gray water systems was conducted in the City of Los Angeles. Soils irrigated with gray water were compared monthly with soils irrigated with municipal...

Safety of Passengers on Railway Platforms?Using Various Computers
Recently, it has become very important to take measures to improve platform safety in Japan. Many passengers use railway platforms all day long (from the first train to the last train)....

Multiple Objectives, Uncertainty and Routing Decisions for Hazardous Materials Shipments
Explicit consideration of multiple objectives and uncertainty is important in hazardous materials transportation, particularly in regulating routes or making routing decisions. Application...

Stress Analysis in Concrete with Cooling Pipes
A substructure method of finite element analysis is adopted in this paper to simulate heat transfer and thermal stresses in a concrete dam. The massive concrete structure is cooled by...

Plastic Limit Analysis of Arch Dams
This paper applies the lower- and the Upper- bound theorems of the plasticity theory to arch dams, according to different forms of discretization for dam, two methods, namely the structural...

A Model and Realization of Intelligence CAD System
This paper describes a model of intelligent CAD system for arch dams and it's characters on intelligence, structure and application. The paper describes the practice method from the content,...

Intelligent Optimal CAD (IOCAD) for Arch Dams
The artificial intelligence, optimization methods and CAD techniques are mixed to develop an integrated system for design of arch dams. It includes a knowledge base, a data base, a stress...

Bellevue Smart Traveler: Phase 2
Traffic congestion in urban centers can be attributed to large numbers of workers traveling in single occupant vehicles to densely clustered downtown employment facilities. This project...

Application of Spencer's Method for Slope Stability Analysis
For slope stability analysis with general, arbitrarily shaped failure surfaces, the Spencer's method has been found to provide a reasonably accurate result. This method satisfies both...

Nonlinear Trial Load Method of Arch Dams
The trial load method is still an important method for the stress analysis of arch dams at present. However, the trial load method can be used only for the linear elastic analysis of arch...

The Reliability Program in Truncated JC Method
JC method is in common use in the structure reliability analysis. In this paper, the program which can be used as to consider the truncated distribution has been proposed, With this method...

Graph?database of Large Dams in China (GLDC)
GLDC is a software with the dynamic processing and categorizing of the main graphs and data of the large dams in China. It can run by means of screen sidebar menu and in interactive mode...

Rive, Rive-Grown and Burst Probability of Rolled Compressive Concrete Arch Dam
The rive, every step of the rive grown and even burst of arch dam are regarded as sequence random events. Making use of the probability theory and the achievement of elastic, elastic-plastic...

The Application of Gauss Numerical Integration Method in Arch Dam Trial-load Method Program
The characteristics of Gauss Numerical Integration Method are the unequal distance between nodes and fairly high accuracy. When the number of nodes is n, the algebraic accuracy can be...

Fit to Drink
Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SWDA) in 1986 greatly expanded the number of contaminants subject to regulation and significantly beefed up water quality treatment and monitoring...

Airport Infrastructure Management
Airport capacity limitations and the resulting congestion and delay plague the U.S. airports and airways. There is a need for increased investment in airport infrastructure. More importantly...

Tunnel Repairs Under Traffic and Community Impacts
Maintaining and rehabilitating the nations existing urban infrastructure is vital for the long term economic health of the cities in which the facilities are located. Successful rehabilitation...

Managing a Bridge Program for Scour
Recent events have focused national attention on the need for States to implement a managed program to determine the scour vulnerability of each of its bridges. Since 85% of all bridges...

Establishing a HSGT System Organization
Most of the attention on High Speed Ground Transportation systems thus far has been devoted to their technological, financial and construction aspects, and this was understandable since...
