Stability Under Seismic Loading
This publication includes five papers that cover the p- ? effect on seismic structures with semi-rigid connections, the effect of panel zone deformations on the structural response behavior,...

Learning From Failure
Innovative engineering design involves assumptions about the future use and behavior of a structure. By understanding and learning from the infrequent but spectacular large failures, engineers...

The Estimation of Ice Loads From Caisson Deformations Gulf Canada Molikpaq
The Gulf Canada Resources Mobile Arctic Caisson 'Molikpaq' is a bottom founded steel exploration platform capable of year-round operation in the Beaufort Sea....

Iceberg Interactions with Offshore Structures
Various aspects include the component problems corresponding to iceberg drift in open water, iceberg drift in the vicinity of a large offshore structure, wave-induced motions of a berg,...

Tanker Mooring/Loading Systems for Northern Offshore Arctic Regions
Transportation of crude oil in arctic areas via shuttle tankers can prove to be a viable alternative to a pipeline system. The shuttle tanker system will require offshore terminals equipped...

Validation of the CICE Code for Ice Ride-Up and Ice Ridge Cone Interaction
The discrete element method is capable of analyzing multiple, interacting, deformable, discontinuous or fractured bodies undergoing large motions and rotations. The formulation solves...

Classification of Human Errors
Error control should be a primary part of any risk control strategy. Classification of errors may serve as a basis for the systematic analysis to eliminate the causes and to reduce the...

Loads Due to Human Movements
The live loads due to human actions are random functions being modeled from data obtained from tests to determine load histories for the actions of individuals and small groups of people...

Design Considerations for Wind Loadings
The application of reliability concepts to the treatment of wind loadings on structures has increased in the past several years. Advances have been made in assessing the various uncertainties...

Aesthetics of High-Rise Building Structures
The structural aesthetics of high-rise buildings is discussed, with particular emphasis on building frames, individual members and on joints and connections. Examples are given of towers...

Observations on Load Tests for Drilled Shafts
This paper focuses on three specific areas pertaining to load tests for drilled shafts: 1) basic considerations and load testing procedures, 2) interpretation of uplift load test information,...

Computer Applications in Grouting
The first use of computers during foundation grouting was tried by the Bureau of Reclamation on Ridgeway Dam in Colorado. It was very useful in monitoring real time down hole conditions...

Grout Slurries?Thick or Thin?
In this paper some recent experiences in dam grouting in several countries are discussed where bentonite or Intraplast additives were used to control sedimentation, viscosity, grout density,...

Application of a Three-Dimensional Coupled Finite Element?Boundary Element Method
Three-dimensional conditions in underground construction occur at the face of a tunnel, at intersections of underground openings and around roughly equidimensional openings. As long as...

Noise and Air Blast from Construction Blasting
Noise generated by construction blasting differs from other construction noise because of its frequency content. The audible high frequency portion is accompanied by a non audible, lower...

Civil Engineering in the Arctic Offshore
The 123 papers included in this publication describe the present state of practice, consider emerging concepts and requirements, define research and development needs and critique present...

Personnel Policies for Operations Management in the Computer Age
The human factor is an essential ingredient and the key element in successful computer applications for water resources or any other field. Engineers in general, and engineering managers...

Carcinogen Risk Assessment
The various approaches to assessing carcinogen risk are described and evaluated....

Structural Safety Studies
Structural engineers are most concerned with the safety aspect of structures. The primary objective of structural engineers is to produce structures which are satisfactory in meeting certain...

Nantucket's Endangered Maritime Heaths
Heaths, though common in northern Europe, are of disjunct distribution and limited development on the east coast of North America. In contrast, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts supports...
