Evaluating Data Collectors as a Surveying Tool
Data collectors play an increasingly important role in surveying. The data collector serves as an interface between the total station and the computer and as an electronic assistant to...
Harmonizing Organizational and Personal Needs
A system is presented for result-oriented allocation of time, energy and resources between the three important forces controlling any manager's life: himself, his family and...
Yield Behaviour and Consolidation. I: Pore Pressure Response
This paper discusses the frequency of occurrence of anomalous consolidation behaviour. The behaviour of soft clay is discussed briefly in terms of the effective stress path/yield envelope...
Yield Behaviour and Consolidation. II: Strength Gain
In Part I it was shown that in situ yielding of soft foundation clays significantly affected consolidation behaviour and that yield could be defined using the effective stress path/yield...
ASCE Salary Survey 1983
This is the seventeenth report in a series of biennial salary surveys conducted by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Salary data is reported on seven major categories for civil...
Infrastructure: Money and Methods
State and local governments have started to cope with their infrastructure problems by passing bond issues, establishing infrastructure banks to centralize resources and decision making,...
Dredging Developments in the Canadian Arctic
The use of dredges in the Canadian Arctic in connection with oil exploration programmes has lead to the adaptation of existing and adoption of new techniques. Further development is required...
Placing of Impermeable Underwater Membranes
An impermeable underwater membrane has been applied successfully in the construction of a lowered road section in the Netherlands. In this paper the construction technique is discussed...
Settlement and Stability of Ocean Disposal Mounds
This study examines the engineering behavior of dredged material disposal mounds in Long Island Sound. The study area is located about eight miles off the coast of New Haven where several...
An Offshore Mound Constructed of Dredged Material
The concept of using dredged material to intentionally construct an underwater mound was tested and confirmed at the Dam Neck Disposal Site, 4 miles offshore Virginia Beach, Virginia....
Fundamentals of Agitation Dredging
The definition and basic principles of agitation dredging are discussed. Equipment for agitation dredging is categorized. The principles of operation, advantages, and disadvantages of...
An Application of Acoustic Core Analysis
This technique has shown itself to be extremely successful at Roberts Bank, in a highly variable bottom material, where shallow depths were not a significant problem, and some borehole...
SCS Water Supply Forecasting Opportunities
SCS personnel have been surveying the mountain snowpack, collecting other hydrometeorological data, and providing water supply forecasts to users for nearly 50 years. Recently, the snow...
Hydraulic Research--U.S. Geological Survey
Research at the Gulf Coast Hydroscience Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is being conducted in an indoor laboratory, and an outdoor laboratory. Much of the current indoor lab research...
Ports 83
The Ports '83 Specialty Conference, whose theme is Modernization, Upgrading and Repairs, covers considerations in port operations, design and construction due to obsolescence...
The Three Point Resection: An Alternate Method
When doing stadia or topographic surveying, it is not always economical or practical to establish the location of the transit or plane table via a field traverse. If three points of known...
Design for Ice Forces
Part one of this publication on design for ice forces emphasizes offshore and coastal structures. In this section , seasonal ice conditions typical of offshore and coastal zones are reviewed....
Forensic Engineering: What Role for ASCE?
Responding to heightened concern within and without the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE) about failures of engineered structures and other works, ASCE formed two commitees to...
Design of Submerged and Floating Structures
The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the state-of-the-art of ice engineering as applied to submerged and floating structures. Five specific design studies are reviewed,...
Urban Hydrology and Catchment Research in the United Kingdom - Progress Since 1979
The Wallingford Procedure for the design and analysis of urban drainage systems was released in late 1981 for use by drainage engineers in the United Kingdom. This was the most significant...
