Optimum Operation of Recharge Basins
Mathematical models based on nonlinear programming are developed for operating recharge basin systems. The objective of these optimization models is to determine the operation policy that...
The City of Los Angeles Gray Water Pilot Project Shows Safe Use of Gray Water is Possible
A year-long study of eight residential gray water systems was conducted in the City of Los Angeles. Soils irrigated with gray water were compared monthly with soils irrigated with municipal...
A Generalized Three Invariants Cap Model and its Numerical Implementation to Study Soil-Foundation Interaction
This paper presents a modified cap model that is capable of characterizing cyclic stress-strain behavior of soils and describing variation of shear strength along various stress paths...
Expert System for the Preloading Method of Ground Improvement
Design practice of the preloading method, which is one of the ground improvement techniques, applied for the hydraulic fill area includes quite complicated problems, especially when draining...
A Simulation of the Quake-response on the Frame with Large Basement-box under the Earthquake from Deep Soil Layer
This paper treats a study of computing vibratory analysis and its comparison with measurements for the earthquake-responses on an actual 19 storied pure frame-structure with its height...
A Computational Method for Acquiring Response and Ground Motion from Accelerogram on the Base of Structure
This paper describes computational formulation of vibratory equations for acquiring response and input ground motion from accelerogram on the base of long structure with flexible slab....
Foundation Uniform Pressure and Soil Structure Interaction
The enclosed paper was presented in the ASCE, 8th Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering and published in its proceedings. One of its main assumptions was considering the foundation...
High-Tech Landfill Caps
Just as federal and state regulations detail every aspect of landfill location, construction and operation, they now detail every aspect of its design closure. A typical municipal solid...
Shotcrete for Underground Support VI
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the Shotcrete for Underground Support VI Conference held in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, May 2-6, 1993. It covers three broad...
Heavy Metals Contamination and its Implication in the Development of the Estuarine Zone of the Southern China
During the pat decade, the economic growth of the estuarine region of the Southern China has been astonishingly rapid. One of the major concerns has been the water pollution problem because...
Geological Characterization of Selected Offshore Sand Resources on the OCS, Offshore Alabama, for Beach Nourishment
Most Alabama Gulf and estuarine shoreline is undergoing long-term erosion; threatened shorelines will need programs of replenishment and maintenance if they are to be even temporarily...
Five Year Program to Evaluate Sand, Mineral and Hard Bottom Resources of the Continental Shelf off South Carolina
In July of 1992, the State of South Carolina entered into a cooperative arrangement with the Minerals Management Service (MMS) to establish a technical working group to identify and evaluate...
Consolidation Settlement Potential in South Louisiana
Primary consolidation is an important cause of wetland loss in active and recently abandoned deltaic plains in south Louisiana. Argillaceous and organic facies are most subject to reduction...
Effects of Surface Brine Disposal on the Marshes in Coastal Louisiana
In 1986, more than 1 billion barrels of brine were disposed of in Coastal Louisiana. Disposal of brine into surface water body is economically practical but environmentally detrimental....
Submergence, Salt-Water Intrusion, and Managed Gulf Coast Marshes
Many coastal marshes are managed to improve wildlife habitat. Simultaneous salt-water intrusion and rapid submergence in Louisiana place additional demands on marsh managers and may become...
Biodegradation Studies of Saudi ARabian Crude Oil
A bench-scale aerobic microbial degradation study of soil contaminated with Saudi Arabian crude oil was conducted. The effects of nutrient additions and seeding with naturally-occurring...
Oil in the Intertidal and Subtidal Sediment of the Saudi Arabian Coast One Year After the Gulf War Oil Spill
One year after the Gulf War oil spill, studies were conducted on the distribution and fate of oil in intertidal and shallow, subtidal habitats along the Saudi Arabian cost. These studies...
Rice Herbicide Evaluation in Texas Gulf Coast
The Texas rice belt, bordered on the south and east by the Gulf of Mexico, extends about 113 km (70 mile) inland and parallels the coastline for approximately 322 km (200 mile) from Victoria,...
Sand Management Planning in Oregon
Under Statewide Planning Goal 18 dune grading or sand movement necessary to maintain views or prevent sand inundation is allowed only as part of an area-wide foredune management plan....
Dune Erosion Management: a Cost Benefit Analysis
A method is presented and illustrated to establish economically justifiable coastal protection measures to reduce storm damage. This method can be used in the initial design stage of a...
