Microcomputer Site Models for Project Analysis
In 1984, the Genesee Transportation Council, the MPO for the Rochester New York area, undertook a study with the City of Rochester Bureau Of Planning and Zoning to investigate how microcomputers...
Portables Pay Off
A portable microcomputer with appropriate software, utilities and copies of job related records can establish a field office for almost any project. Examples of applications for the onsite...
Geotechnical Innovations: Why Seldom Used in Highways?
Ground improvement methods introduced within the past decade to American geotechnical engineers offer cost savings, ease of construction and reduced construction time. Amont these innovations...
Just a Few More Tests and We'll Be Sure
This short paper presents a practical approach to data analysis, with the intent of suggesting that simple statistical methods - when tailored to geotechnical problems - do in fact provide...
Application of Methods of Probabilistic Characterization of Soil Properties
The use of probabilistic methods to describe soil properties has many applications. One such application that has been developed is in the area of probabilistic slope stability analysis....
Landform-Based Characterization of Soil Properties
A probabilistic characterization of site soil properties can be achieved with sparse site-specific data by augmenting them with data available from other sites in the region having the...
Weather Modification Made Easy ? A Cookbook Recipe
This paper takes a cookbook approach to the development of a well organized and efficient cloud seeding endeavor, by discussing seven important items necessary for a successful program....
Grouting Rehabs Earth Dam
To accommodate increased storage needs the Pennsylvania Power & Light Company had to reactivate a fly ash basin and raise an adjacent embankment dam. However, seepage through the...
A Methodology for Open-Water Disposal Site Selection
Pascagoula, Mississippi, is the major industrial region in coastal Mississippi. The existing project, completed in 1965, provides for waterborne transportation from the Gulf of Mexico...
Implementation of EPA/Corps Site Evaluation Guidance
Past site evaluations have resulted in expensive and time-consuming field studies and a nationwide delay in final designation of interim sites. Recognizing the problem, a joint Corps/EPA...
Selection of Dredged Material Disposal Sites
Federal and state legislation regulating dredging of navigation channels along Maryland's Eastern Shore requires that local governing bodies provide the dredged material disposal...
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...
Computer Models for Dredged Material Disposal Planning
Short term and long term planning for the disposal of dredged material can be significantly enhanced using state-of-the-art computer modeling. Computerized mathematical models can be constructed...
Need for Long-Term Planning for Dredged Material Containment
The biological, chemical and physical integrity of our nations waters are protected, in part, by the provisions of the Clean Water Act. This Act provided for the development of guidelines...
Use of Scientific Data for Management of Dredged Material Disposal in New England
Management of dredge material disposal in New England is closely attuned to regulatory mandates and is significantly supported by scientific findings and contributions of the Disposal...
Design of Confined Disposal Areas for Retention of Contaminants
Dredged material which is unsuitable for disposal in open water due to the presence of contaminants is normally placed in confined disposal areas. The quality of effluent discharged from...
Ten Years of Long-Term Dredged Material Disposal Planning in the St. Paul District
Long-term dredged material disposal planning for the Upper Mississippi River by the St. Paul District had its beginnings with the Great River Environmental Action Team study (1975-80)....
Dredging as a Remedial Method for a Superfund Site
Remedial action at the Commencement Bay Nearshore/Tideflats Superfund Site, in the State of Washington, is expected to include dredging and disposal of contaminated sediments located in...
Long-Term Management of Confined Disposal Areas
Systematic management of confined dredged material disposal sites is becoming increasingly necessary as competition for land use intensifies in regions in which most dredging projects...
Strip Mine Reclamation Using Dredged Material
This alternative was investigated through the creation of a field study to demonstrate the feasibility of using a cover of dewatered dredged material to reclaim surface mine deposits....
