Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is under an interagency agreement with the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, to prepare the necessary historical highway...
Simulation of Intersections During Reconstruction
In order to make computer simulation of intersections more appealing and easier to use, and interactive, menu-driven micro-computer program, called INTERCON (Michalopoulos and Plum, 1986),...
Use of Transport Models in Airport Access Analysis
This paper describes transportation models built by Wilbur Smith and Associates (WSA) as part of a study of Newark International Airport (NIA), conducted for the Port Authority of New...
A Simulation/Animation of an Inland Railway Container Terminal
The Container Terminal Model (CTM) comprises a batch computer simulation model and interactive graphics animation package. The model has been developed to aid engineers and transportation...
Addressing the Risks of Computer Model Misuse
The proliferation of relatively inexpensive small computers, and accompanying transportation-oriented software, has brought many capabilities to transportation agencies previously unavailable...
Materials and Member Behavior
Each of the papers in this book covers some aspect of material properties. New developments in cold formed steel are reviewed. The strength, stiffness, and ductility of steel connections...
Building Structures
This volume contains over forty papers from thirteen sessions of Structures Congress '87. The papers include a variety of topics on the overall behavior and design of buildings...
Computer Applications in Structural Engineering
The papers in this book deal with the development or application of software systems to the design, analysis, and drafting activities associated with engineered structures. A number of...
Dynamics of Structures
This volume includes the papers presented at the 6th Structures Congress of ASCE which deal with the analysis, design, and behavior of civil engineering structures and facilities subjected...
Hydraulic Engineering
The papers in this book were presented at the ASCE National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering, August, 1987, Williamsburg, Va. The objective of this conference was to provide a forum...
Harbor Revived
In Racine, Wis., officials' plans to turn a defunct commercial harbor into a recreational boaters' paradise have signaled an economic turn-around for a depressed...
Tunnel Saved by Flyash
When inspection early in 1986 showed that Detroit's Northeast Raw Water Tunnel was near collapse at one location, quick action and a unique use of flyash-cement grout or fill...
Fail Safe Management
Engineers are increasingly embroiled in cases where failure is defined as improper administration or management of a procedure instead of the collapse of a structure or the failure of...
Operational Experiences With a Wells Turbine on a Wave Powered Navigation Study
The objective of the research programme was to design a 100W Wells turbine generator unit which could be matched to standard tail tube buoys. Optimization of the power conversion chain...
On the Performance of a Wave Power Converter
This paper presents the KN-principle for wave - power conversion. The principle and components of the wave power converter are described and some practical relations are presented in order...
Evaluation of Sediment Transport and Friction Factor Equations Using MOBED
Three sediment transport rate equations and the same number of friction factor equations for mobile boundary channel flows were evaluated using a mobile boundary flow model called MOBED....
Solution to a Waterhammer Problem: A Case Study
Waterhammer is caused by a rapid change in the flow velocity of liquid in a pressurized pipeline. Therefore, the potential for waterhammer exists in almost every pressurized liquid piping...
Twisting in the Wind
Wind tunnel tests are being used increasingly to test the aerodynamic stability of bridges. Many designers think these tests should be used early in the conceptual design stage, rather...
Artist in Wood Structures
Julius Natterer is chairman on the Institute for Wood Structures at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, and designer of more unusual or unique wood structures...
CAD Maps Ocean Floor
This article describes the Navy's use of computer aided design to map-out a 250 sq mi expansion of an anti-submarine warfare training facility in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Three hundred...
