PC MODEL BRESSED for Stochastic Prediction of Reservoir Sedimentation
A stochastic flow-storage/sediment-deposition model was written in BASIC with userfriendly features. It is an augmented version of the FORTRAN program RESSED (REServoir SEDimentation)...
Settling Tank Model for Deposition in a Tidal Lagoon
A model is developed to assess deposition of suspended sediment in Great Sound, New Jersey. The model employs the classic settling tank concept which utilizes plug flow hydrodynamics,...
The Relationship of Benefits to System Size for Irrigation Projects
This paper presents a generalized linear programming (LP) and farm budget model for optimization of on-farm irrigation benefits resulting from variations in irrigation project size. The...
High Plains States Groundwater Recharge Program

Economic Benefit of Irrigation on Beef Ranches
Drought can result in forage shortages leading to possible liquidation of the breeding herd. Liquidation is often at depressed prices, and replacement may be at elevated prices. In this...
Role of Surficial Aquifer in Barrier Island Streamflow Generation
Monitoring results are presented for an experimental watershed located on a South Carolina barrier island. Rainfall, streamflow and well data indicate streamflow occurs due to interaction...
A Probabilistic Method for Determination of the Required Capacity of Reservoirs
Evaluation of water supply potential of multi-purpose dams generally involves determination of the required capacity of reservoirs for new dams and analysis of safe yield or reliable yield...
Estimating Low-Flow Frequencies of Ungaged Streams in New England
Equations to estimate low flows were developed using multiple-regression analysis with a sample of 48 river basins, which were selected from the U. S. Geological Survey's...
Monte Carlo Approach to Spillway Design Floods
This paper shows the use of a daily stochastic streamflow model for the calculation of the hydrograph for spillway design. Most of the literature related to the topic deals with the problem...
Dynamic Behavior of R/C Buildings in Vi? del Mar, Chile
The Chilean earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0. 36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete...
Prediction and Measurement of Wind Response: Case Story of a Wind Sensitive Building
The wind-induced horizontal accelerations of a 43 story office tower in New York City were monitored during 11 occasions over a period of about six months. The building dates back to the...
Performance of Viscoelastic Dampers in World Trade Center Towers
The viscoelastic damper was conceived and developed as a part of the structural design for the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, New York. They are an integral and an essential part...
Dioxin and Resource Recovery
The 1987 ASCE Dioxin and Resource Recovery Symposium was held at the New York Hilton Hotel, New York on February 10, 1987. The conference served as an opportunity to assess the issue of...
Mapping New York City from the Shelf
Data processing and management information systems are a cornerstone of the operating environment and capabilities of New York City (NYC) agencies. One of the functions that make NYC's...
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...
