Tampa Does It with Mirrors
As one of the nation's fastest growing cities, Tampa needed far more public works dollars. But the traditional source, the real estate tax, can no longer be relied on so heavily,...
Current Corps of Engineers Concepts for Roller Compacted Concrete in Dams
Since construction of Willow Creek Dam in 1982, Elk Creek Dam in southwest Oregon is the only Corps of Engineers dam to be constructed using RCC that has passed beyond the planning stage...
Construction of Middle Fork Dam
Recently there has been increased interest in roller compacted concrete (RCC) for use in dams. However, to date there has been very little practical experience in construction. Middle...
Upper Stillwater Dam Construction Program
Utilizing both proven and innovative construction techniques, equipment, and design concepts, Tyger Construction Company Inc. , located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, has undertaken the...
Economic Considerations in Selection of a Roller Compacted Concrete Dam
Roller compacted concrete (RCC) has recently emerged as an economically attractive material for gravity dam construction, replacing the use of conventional concrete and even challenging...
USBR Design Considerations for Roller Compacted Concrete Dams
Current Bureau design criteria for concrete dams are based on analytical methods developed and improved over the years, evaluation of construction methods and post construction materials...

Trends in Small Computer Utilization
In an effort to determine the extent to which micro and minicomputers have been successfully implemented by construction contractors, the authors compiled a comprehensive questionnaire...
Characteristics of Indiana Soil Properties
The Indiana Geotechnical Data Bank was established to collect engineering soil data in the state and to provide information for engineering planning and design works. It contains nearly...
Small Computers in Construction
These proceedings are the result of a symposium sponsored by the Task Committee on the Application of Small Computers in Construction of the Construction Division of ASCE. Nine papers...
Tunnelling in Soil and Rock
The relationship between tunnel design and construction is covered with emphasis on case histories of field measurements and performance. A general report emphasizes the importance of...
Probabilistic Characterization of Soil Properties
Bridge Between Theory and Practice
The two objectives established for these proceedings are: (1) to summarize the principles and procedures of probabilistic characterization of soil properties in a readily understood manner...
Fast Tracking Milwaukee's Stormwater Cleanup
In building a massive sewer and treatment plant, Milwaukee solved legal and management problems. At the same time, the city speeded design and construction for the project. Triggered by...
Help with Permits In One Stop
