Supply Side Engineering
In New Jersey, the Hackensack Water Co., a private utility, and the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, a state agency, are jointly completing Wanaque South, a $151 million...

An Integrated Approach to Structure and Control Design of Space Structures
In this paper the authors have investigated the effect of passive damping on the optimum structural design with active controls. The minimum weight design is obtained by imposing the constraints...

Optimum Seismic Structural Design with Tendon and Mass Damper Controls and Random Process
This paper describes the optimization of structural weight for seismic structures implemented by active control systems. The instantaneous open-loop optimal control algorithm is used for...

Seismic Design of Braced Steel Frames
Seismic behavior of a six-story, K-braced structure without backup ductile moment-resisting frames designed according to the current Uniform Building Code is studied in this paper. The...

Study of the Collapse of a Reinforced Concrete Model Structure Under Simulated Earthquake Motion
The collapse, under simulated earthquake motion, of a multistory r/c frame structure with columns flexurally weaker than beams (SBWC) is studied. A small-scale model, comprising parallel...

Water Project Design and Safety: Prospects for Use of Risk Analysis in Public Sector Organizations
After offering some initial definitions, the authors will describe a highly structured model of risk analysis and water resources decision making in the public sector. The primary emphasis...

A System Framework for Engineering Risk Analysis
A mathematical system framework is developed to model a series of criteria called performance indices (PI) related to engineering risk in water resources. Such criteria include reliability,...

Transportation Infrastructure Information Systems
The current crisis in the nation's transportation infrastructure necessitates the development of innovative data management systems to facilitate and implement analysis algorithms...

Factory Chic
Developers of the International Design Center of New York have recently spent $163 million to convert an unused chewing gum factory and a former battery plant into a showcase for New York...

Capitol Hill Infrastructure Advice
The National Public Works Improvement Council must report to President Reagan and the Congress by early 1987 on ways to maintain and improve the nation's infrastructure. One...

Rehabbing for Reuse
Case histories of four building rehabilitation projects highlight special challenges to their structural engineers. The Lits Building, Philadelphia, is a collection of eight structures...

A Study of Exterior Facades?Problems and Solutions
The quality of the exterior facades of a building is important to maintaining aesthetic image, protecting the interior environment from infiltration of heat, cold, moisture, wind, and...

The Basics of Water-Resistant Brick Walls
Water-resistant masonry walls of burned clay or shale brick are the result of a conscious effort to produce them, by everyone involved in their creation. Furthermore, owner maintenance...

Structural Monitoring Concepts for Arctic Pipelines
Terrain instabilities producing differential soil movements are the predominant features affecting the structural integrity and design of buried pipeline systems in the arctic. Current...

The Metropolitan Boston Area Earthquake Loss Study
This study develops an inventory of critical facilities in the Metropolitan Boston area and analyzes the impact of a project earthquake (Cape Ann Event) on their structural integrity and...

Lifeline Risk Analyses: The Mokelumne Aqueduct Study
Probabilistic risk analysis methods are applied to the evaluation of seismic and non-seismic vulnerability of a 25-kilometer length of a major lifeline aqueduct system. In addition to...

Structural Design of the Defense Waste Processing Facility
The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is designed to process radioactive defense waste sludge and the radioactive nuclides, cesium and stronium, from the salt solution. These radioactive...

A Generic Design for On-Site Low Level Radioactive Waste Storage
This paper describes a generic design for an on-site low level radioactive waste storage facility. The generic design encompases the development of design criteria including an envelope...

Building Arrangement and Site Layout Design Guides for On Site Low Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facilities
This paper will discuss a typical storage facility and address the design considerations and operational aspects that are generally overlooked when designing and siting a low level radioactive...

Knowledge-Based Consultant for Construction Inspection
This paper shows how knowledge-based expert systems can be implemented in construction inspection to provide the necessary information needed by an inexperienced inspector to inspect complex...
