Strains Induced by Combined Loading in Buried Pressurized Fiberglass Pipe
In 1983 Owens Corning Fiberglas and Utah State University collaborated on a study of combined strain behavior of fiberglass pipe to quantify the bending strain reduction as a function...

Buried Fiberglass Pipe Performance and Installation Requirements and Design Calculations in International Standardization
This paper elaborates on a proposed standard covering details of fiberglass pipe buried installation requirements and criteria for selection of pipe stiffness. It also discusses the selection...

Inspection/Condition Analyses of Large Underground Pipelines
Inspection/Condition Analyses of Underground Pipelines (sewers and conduits) will be a necessary function of the pipeline Owner/Operator. The Condition Analyses and Inspection phases are...

Large Diameter Plastic Pipe Design
This paper presents a rationale for the design of large diameter plastic pipes for gravity flow applications. This procedure, applicable for all plastic pipes, adapts state-of-the-art...

Design of Non-Pressure Very Flexible Plastic Pipe
There is considerable debate about the correct structural design procedure to be used for very flexible plastic pipe (VFP) - typically glass-fiber reinforced pipe (GRP), reinforced plastic...

An Operational Dynamic Routing Model for Small Computers
The paper reports on a study to develop an efficient dynamic routing procedure that can be used on an IBM PC/XT microcomputer as the routing component in a comprehensive watershed simulation...

Advances in Selective Withdrawal
The authors present the results of recent selective withdrawal research in the form of a general mathematical description of this stratified flow phenomenon. A new description for boundary...

Solving the Two-Dimensional Diffusion Flow Model
A simplification of the two-dimensional (2-D) continuity and momentum equations is the diffusion equation. To investigate its capability, the numerical model using the diffusion approach...

Yakima Remote Control System: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
The Yakima Remote Control System is a computerized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system developed for the operation of the Bureau of Reclamation's Yakima Project in...

Response of Floating Structures in a Directional Sea
A finite element numerical model is presented to predict the behavior of long floating structures in a multi-directional sea. A follow up numerical model analyzes an important but mostly...

Vortices at Vertical Intakes
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation designed to predict the formation of weak, free-surface vortices at vertical intakes with a headrace channel. A weak vortex...

Time and Space Resolution for Continuous, Dynamic Storm and Runoff Model Studies
Continuous modelling correctly reproduces start-up values of storages and loss rates and statistics for properties of hydrographs. Kinematics of storms should be considered. The effects...

Data Acquisition and Analysis of Pressure Fluctuations in Hydraulic Jumps
The paper reports on a study to procure basic data on large pressure fluctuations in hydraulic jump stilling basins. Interest in pressure fluctuations relates to: the effect of dynamic...

One-Dimensional Model for Mud Flows
In this paper a transient, one-dimensional model for dynamic flood routing of mud flows is presented. The governing equations of mass and momentum conservation incorporate laminar flow...

Analytic Solution for Seepage from Saturated Soil Behind a Braced Wall
The locations of streamlines and equipotentials for two-dimensional flow in the vertical plane normal to a vertical retaining wall can be determined by various methods. Recent extension...

Quick Stroking: A Fast and Accurate Algorithm for Time-Optimal Valve Closure Synthesis
In this paper, a fast, simple, yet effective technique for valve motion synthesis is developed. This technique called Quick Stroking is applied to a practical example problem, and it may...

Cazenovia Creek Model Data Acquisition System
The purpose of the model is to reproduce river ice breakup phenomena for optimizing the design of an ice control structure. The performance of the ice control structure during a simulated...

Investigation of Design Criteria for APM Guideways
Designers have relied mostly on the provisions of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. Sometimes...

Design Criteria Impacts on Guideway Development
A highly definitive design criteria or performance specification is frequently developed for new transit systems. The criteria are intended to protect the owner's interest...

Planning and Environmental Assessment of New Transit System
The guideway of the new transit system 'KANAZAWA SEASIDE LINE' which Yokohama City has started construction is designed as an elevated type throughout the line,...
