Hydraulic and Water Quality Reliability and Resiliency for Water Distribution Systems Under Random Demands
This paper develops a preliminary method to evaluate the reliability and resiliency of water distribution systems under random spatial and temporal demand patterns, including random fire...
Simulation of 3D Free Surface Flows in Hydraulic Structure with Submerged Flow Passages
This paper presents primarily the results of an application of the newly refined computational simulation model to study three-dimensional flows in a lock and dam system, which has submerged...
Hydraulic Performance of a Flexible Curtain Used for Selective Withdrawal ? A Physical Model and Prototype Comparison
Reclamation (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation) studied a 1:120 scale undistorted density stratified physical model to develop a lightweight flexible curtain barrier that would control the outflow...
Flow Diversion in a Steep, Coarse-Bed Stream
A case study is presented of the hydraulic design of a diversion structure in a high velocity, coarse bed streamcourse. Mill Creek, a tributary to the Upper Jordan River in the southern...
Self-Cleaning Wet Wells: Definition and Design
Design guidelines for self-cleaning wet wells with variable speed pumps are given and the progress of research at Montana State University and ENSR Consulting and Engineering concerning...
Flow Study of In-Service Sanitary Sewers Rehabilitated with Insitupipe
In an effort to define the flow characteristics of sanitary sewer segments rehabilitated with Insituform under normal in-service conditions, Insituform of North America, Inc. (currently...
RCC: Rehab Results
Thirty dams have been modified with roller compacted concrete in order to provide additional spillway capacity and for safe overtopping of embankment dams. In the national dam safety inspection...

Stability of Rock Armour Under Random Wave Attack: Performance of Non-Standard Rock Shapes and Gradings
Quarried rock is frequently used to protect coastal and shoreline structures against wave attack. Armour rock specifications generally exclude rock that is rounded or tabular, and gradings...
RCC for Rehabilitation of Dams in the USA-An Overview
The use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) has rapidly become a powerful new tool in the USA for engineers involved with the rehabilitation of existing dams. Starting in 1980, RCC has...
Hydraulics of Stepped Spillways for RCC Dams and Dam Rehabilitations
Stepped spillways are natural extensions of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) placement techniques. Stepped spillways were first used with concrete dams, and designers are eager to use the...
Design of the Boney Falls RCC Emergency Spillway
The Boney Falls Emergency Spillway was designed as a mass roller compacted concrete structure. Alternative designs considered include a fuse plug, lowering the embankment and paving with...
Coastal Geomorphology and Sand Budgets Applied to Beach Nourishment
It is commonly assumed beach nourishment projects are more successful if applied over long distances of shoreline. Short projects tend to unravel at the ends as the bulge formed by the...
Beach Nourishment with Aragonite and Tuned Structures
The first full-scale use in the United States of imported aragonite sand for beach restoration was undertaken at Fisher Island, Florida, between December 1990 and April 1991. About 20,000...
Monitoring of the 1988 Boca Raton Beach Nourishment Project
During July and August of 1988, approximately 843,000 cm of sand was placed along a 2.3-km stretch of beach in Boca Raton, Florida. Post-cosntruction monitoring of the beach nourishment...
