Results of a Monitoring Program of Moored Ship Response to Gravity and Infragravity Waves
An automated monitoring system was designed and operated at a coal terminal in Los Angeles Harbor, and a container terminal in Long Beach Harbor, to obtain the complete six degree-of-freedom...

Barbers Point Harbor: A Unique Solution for Port Upgrade
A remote-controlled model of a C9 containership was used to evaluate the navigability of existing harbor and entrance channel conditions in a three-dimensional physical model of Barbers...

A Chance Constrained Optimization Model Using Kinematic Wave Routing for Stormwater Infrastructure Rehabilitation
A chance constrained optimization model is presented to determine efficient long-term replacement strategies for segments of stormwater drainage systems. The model is multiobjective in...

A Storm Water Utility Case Study, Salt Lake City, Utah
In response to financial pressure on the City's general fund and the EPA's storm water regulations, Salt Lake City went through the process of developing and implementing a storm water...

A Theoretical Approach to Characterize Reinforced Concrete Using Stress Waves
Although advances in nondestructive evaluation of structural concrete have been made, the ultrasonic determination of the placement of steel reinforcement in concrete remains difficult....

Innovations for NDT of Concrete Structures
The proposed paper presents three recent innovations for sonic and ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of concrete structures which greatly increase the utility and speed of many...

Probabilistic Mechanics and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability
This proceedings consists of summary papers for the thirty-six technical sessions of the 6th ASCE Specialty Conference on Probabilistic Mechanics, and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability....

The Desalination Situation
Rapid growth is putting increasing pressure on water supplies in coastal communities. Conservation can only do so much, and providing new freshwater supplies is getting more expensive...

Dynamic Parameters Analysis of Piles
This paper presents an analysis for the dynamic parameters of a single pile. The analysis allows consideration of pile-soil interaction, soil natural layered behavior and floating pile...

Specifying the Offshore Environment
Hindcasting has become a generally accepted method of producing long time series of environmental events from which environmental design criteria can be developed. The need for reliable...

Wave-Current Interaction with a Large Structure
The effects of a current on the diffraction of regular waves around a three-dimensional body are examined by a time-domain method. The Froude number is assumed to be small so that the...

A Numerical Study of Kinematics of Nonlinear Water Waves in Three Dimensions
We present a new method for analyzing the kinematics of nonlinear water waves in a three-dimensional domain. This method is based on our extension and generalization of the mixed-Eulerian-Lagrangian...

Measured and Simulated Response of a Small Semisubmersible Moored in Deep Water
Small semisubmersible platform concepts are proposed for electronic tracking ranges, single-well petroleum production, and oceanographic data collection. This paper summarizes a major...

Flexible Membrane Wave Barrier
A linear analytical model is developed for the dynamic response of a flexible membrane wave barrier. The wave barrier consists of a thin flexible membrane suspended in the water column...

Experimental Studies for the Port of Bilbao Extension
The Port of Bilbao is the leading port in Spain concerning total traffic volume. It also holds a relevant position in the international context. The Managing Board recently approved an...

A Simple Method to Compute Wave Loads on a TLP
In this paper, analytic diffraction (Linton and Evans, 1990) and radiation (Kim, 1992) solutions for arrays of bottom-mounted vertical circular cylinders are used to compute hydrodynamic...

Nonlinear Wave Runup on Large Circular Cylinders
Various design methods for computing nonlinear wave runup on a large-diameter circular cylinder are presented. First, empirical correlations are developed between the observed maximum...

Second-Order Hydrodynamic Interactions Between a Pair of Vertical Cylinders in Irregular Waves
A complete second-order solution is given for the hydrodynamic forces on a pair of bottom-mounted, surface-piercing, vertical circular cylinders in bichromatic seas. The constant structural...

Simulation of Nonlinear Wave Runup on Steep Impermeable Slopes
A numerical scheme is developed to simulate the propagation of second-order Stokes waves in a two-dimensional channel and the runup of these waves on an impermeable slope. The waves are...

The Mother of All Resilient Structures: Fixed-Base Tower in 3000-Foot Water and Some Outstanding Issues
This paper describes design and development work for 40- to 80-well fixed- base - yet compliant - towers for 2000- to 3000-foot water depths. Technical issues which are covered include:...
