Toe Scour Protection Methods
Toe scour protection is an important element in bank protection projects because undermining by scour at the toe is one of the major causes of failure of bank protection. Existing toe...
Relation of Unit Gravel Discharge to Mean Velocity
In sand-bed streams, the unit discharge of sand varies approximately with the fifth power of the mean velocity and inversely with the median diameter of the bed sediment. Similar relations...
Bed Material and Numerical Modeling in a Gravel/Cobble Bed Stream
The characteristics of bed material in a cobble or gravel river and their use for numerical simulation of flushing flow needs are discussed. There are three types of bed material: 1) material...
Local Scour Potential for Large Bed Material with Shallow Tailwater Depth
Jet momentum acting on a bed particle and submerged jet diffusion theory were employed to derive scour prediction formulas in a plunge pool. Semi-theoretical formulas were suggested for...
Carpet Flow Analysis
Under very high flow conditions, sediment may be transported either in a suspension or by carpet flow, as defined by Bagnold. This study examines the theoretical conditions for carpet...
Structures Congress XII
This proceedings, composed of two volumes, contains the papers presented at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Twelfth Structures Congress held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, April...
Computer-Integrated Construction
Computers have been used quite successfully as replacements for manual drafting, but to stop there seriously underuses the potential of computer aided design. By using the computer's...
The Key is Constructability
Construction generally involves the collective efforts of owners, designers, contractors and suppliers. During the design phase, the engineer should be mindful of such critical elements...

In Rehab We Trust
Glulam structures will be durable and last for a long time provided structural elements are protected from water and moisture. Once water is allowed to come into direct contact with glulam...
America's Pavements: World's Longest Bathtubs
Pavements are the most unusual structures designed by civil engineers. Water flows through their tops, bottoms and sides but because pavements are relatively flat, flows out again very...

Focusing on Fatigue
Properly designed and maintained bridges sometimes need repair for fatigue damage. Among the reasons may be that the bridge was designed before current fatigue design provisions, or initial...
Dredging '94
During the past decade, the discipline of dredging has been challenged in the areas of economics, the environment, and management of dredging projects. Dredging has kept pace with its...
