Security of Unattended Pipeline Stations
The ultimate purpose of a security system is to maintain equipment and service in a normal operating condition or to restore the equipment and service to normal operating condition as...
Validation of Consolidation Properties of Phosphatic Clay at Very High Void Ratios
The void ratio-effective stress and void ratio permeability relationships for phosphate slime mine tailings were measured by several methods. The measurements were used in nonlinear finite...
Prediction of Peat Settlement
Compression of peat and organic clay deposits is characterized using a simple rheological model in which structural viscosity is assumed to be linear. The model utilizes three empirical...
Soil Analysis and Dredging
Analysis of soils before dredging can make or break a dredging project. It is seldom possible to obtain all of the information needed for selecting equipment and estimate outputs. The...
Selecting a Dredge Pump
While it is not necessary for the dredge operator to know how to design a dredge pump, the ability to select one that meets his project requirements is essential to insure the success...
Current Issues in Rock Dredging
An attractive alternative to the use of explosives for deepening shipping channels is the improvement of the rock cutter suction dredger. But, assessing the capability and design parameters...
Evaluating Pump Characteristics in Developing Countries
How do you assess normal operating characteristics for pumps used in small water supply systems when no information on the pumps is available and when the technicians have little technical...
Mandatory Continuing Education: A Legislative Myth?
The case against state enforcement of continuing education for engineers is presented. It is argued that engineers who wish to remain competitive and successful in their field will seek...
Better Ways to Finance Stormwater Management
A lack of adequate funds is the principal impediment to local governments in developing stormwater management programs. Several municipalities in the U.S. assess user charges to be paid...
Structural Section Properties
A computer program is featured that is useful for determining section properties of geometric shapes used in a variety of applications, such as the use of built-up or nonstandard sections....
Four Options for Hazardous Waste Disposal
Landfills, land treatment, mine storage, and deep well injection are four options examined as solutions to the hazardous waste disposal problem. Statistics indicate approximately 40 million...
