In an attempt to reconstruct the events of the more than 100-year 1987 New Year's Eve storm that occurred on Oahu, Hawaii, an analysis of a complicated overland flow phenomenon...

Risk Assessment and Management of an Oil Contaminated Aquifer: A Case History Study
This paper concerns the provision of the basic information needed for the decision-making process regarding the remedial measures leading to reutilization of an oil contaminated aquifer....

Computerized Data Acquisition for an Undergraduate Hydraulics Laboratory
Basic hydraulics principles and the operation of certain hydraulic systems can be effectively demonstrated with the aid of relatively inexpensive data acquisition and analyses systems....

Computerized Hydraulic Modeling?A Case Study
A hydraulic model study is being conducted at the Alden Research Laboratory, Inc. (ARL), to study the effects of adding a hydroelectric generating station at the site of an existing lock...

An Engineering Analysis of Sedimentation in Tidal Inlets
The engineering comparative analysis of deposition and scour of noncohesive sediments in the neighborhood of bridges over tidal inlets is a unique problem which does not lend itself conveniently...

Liabilities in Temporary Structures Failures?Representative Case Histories
Eight case studies involving construction accidents caused by failure of temporary structures are presented. These studies illustrate the oftentimes unintended consequence of utilizing...

Modular-Prestressed Shoring System for Demolition
Two case histories are used to present the development and performance of a modular prestressed vertical shoring system to control deflections of existing structures during the demolition...

Generic Framework for Evaluation of Multiple Construction Robots
This paper develops a generic framework that can be used to quantitatively evaluate multiple construction robots. An attempt has been made to link the business goals of top-level company...

The CRANIUM: A Case Study of Sensory Improvement for Construction Equipment Operators
Machines excel at physical processes such as generating large forces and performing repetitive motions, but humans are still better at information intensive processes such as planning,...

A Gas Chromatographic Protocol for the Measurement of Krypton Gas in Water
This paper presents the results of a study to investigate the feasibility of using a gas chromatographic (GC) technique for the measurement of non-radioactive krypton gas concentrations...

Where Does Rock Begin for Three Highway Projects?
'Where does rock begin?' was a question raised on three large highway projects in the western United States. The question was successfully answered by a variety...

Foundation Studies in a Fault Zone and a Steep Valley Slope
This paper presents two case histories which illustrate unique problems in defining the character of rock for support of structures. The first case study concerns a conventional building...

Yampa River Basin Alternatives Feasibility Study an Example of Conflict Resolution in Water Supply Development
The Yampa River, located in northwest Colorado, is a major tributary of the Green River segment of the Colorado River system. Potential water resource development in the Yampa River Basin...

Earthquake Response of Liquid-Filled Pipeline at Finite Depth Below Ground Surface
This paper deals with the problem of earthquake response analysis of pipelines, empty or fully filled with liquid and buried at a finite depth below the ground surface. Emphasis is placed...

Wellington's Lifelines in Earthquake Project: An Outline of a Major Review
This paper outlines a project involving a major review of all lifelines including building services in the region of Wellington, New Zealand. A case study approach was used involving representatives...

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Bridges on Earthquake Priority Routes in Western Kentucky
This paper discusses the current conditions of 203 bridges on the priority routes in Western Kentucky and their vulnerabilities to earthquakes. A span-loss type of bridge collapse due...
