Modelling of Contaminant Transport in Clays Via Irreversible Thermodynamics
This study develops a model for the analysis and prediction of contaminant transport in soils using principles of irreversible thermodynamics. The developed model includes five parameters...

Timber Bulkheads
Timber bulkhead design and construction methods are presented in this publication for consideration by the engineering profession. Included are papers on an analytical method for the design...

Structural Engineering and Microcomputers
This publication contains five papers on the use of microcomputers by structural engineers. The first paper discusses the design of multi-story rigid steel frames. The design process employed...

Seismic Analysis of Safety-Related Nuclear Structures and Commentary on Standard for Seismic Analysis of Safety Related Nuclear Structures
This standard provides requirements for performing analyses to obtain design information which will lead to the reliability of structures under a severe earthquake. The goal of this standard...

Effects of Damage and Redundancy on Structural Performance
There are numerous factors involved in the interrelationship between damage states, redundancy, system strength and structural performance. This volume examines some of these factors and...

Use of Vibration Measurements in Structural Evaluation
Over the past decade the capabilities for vibration measurements and analysis have advanced significantly. It is now a routine procedure to be able to measure natural frequencies of structures...

Computer Aided Simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems
The papers included in this book represent state-of-the-art developments in and applications of computer aided simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems in both the terrestrial...

Prepared by the Concrete Pole Task Committee of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Division of ASCE. This guide presents...

Temporary Structures in Construction Operations
Temporary works have a primary influence on the quality, safety, speed and profitability of all construction projects. They provide access, support and protection of a facility under construction....

Dynamic Response of Pile Foundations?Experiment, Analysis and Observation
In recent years, a considerable amount of attention has been paid to the dynamic response behavior of pile foundations. However, mainly because of difficulties in conducting tests and/or...

The Mexico Earthquakes?1985
Factors Involved and Lessons Learned
This publication reports initial results of study of the 1985 Mexico earthquake, one year after the event. The findings present sufficient depth of analysis to provide an understanding...

Making Embassies Safe for Democracy
American interests overseas have become among the most popular targets for terrorist attacks. Once, not long ago, security was only an afterthought for such facilities. Today, $4.4 billion...

Building Over the Golden Gate
Charles Seim discusses the struggles of the original bridge advocates to garner support for the Golden Gate Bridge, an idea which originally met with a considerable amount of public opposition....

Golden Gate Bridge Improvements
The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District engineer talks about improvements made to the Golden Gate Bridge since opening day. Improvements covered include: wind bracing,...

Sound Structure
A new concert hall in Dallas, Tex., has the first acoustical design done with the aid of computer simulations that also dictated the shape of the performance space. Those dictates, in...

Quake Resistant Transport
An approach which begins by assessing the vulnerability of a transportation system's key components can help transportation engineers plan for and limit earthquake damage....

Historic Bridges: Conflict Ahead
The engineer who deals with historic bridges becomes the focus of controversy in the course of determining the existing condition, predicting remaining useful life, and designing the repair...

Investigating Failure
Failure investigations can be adversarial or cooperative, but impartiality, good engineering ethics, and professional responsibility require that the investigator begin with no premature...

Electronic Gymnastics
Efforts are being made to have all the parties to a project share the same, current information. In order to do so, civil engineering firms are jumping through electronic hoops to get...

Optimization: An Emerging Technology
The technology of formal, numerical structural optimization is neither mysterious nor complex. Software programs are now available for use by engineers who do not have detailed knowledge...
