New Seoul Metropolitan Airport
The New Seoul Metropolitan Airport (NSMA), to be built on a man-made island near Seoul, Korea, will have access to the city by bridge, rail, and dedicated freeway. When completed, NSMA...

City and County of Denver Approach to Management Requirements
Construction of large infrastructure projects has become increasingly rare since the 1960's. In fact, America has not built a new airport since 1974. While sparse funding is certainly...

Salvage Law for Outer Space
This paper presents the essential elements of salvage law for outer space. The author introduces the topic by explaining how salvage law could alleviate the problem of space debris and...

Housing?Economic Standard
House project with simplistic spatial concept (integrated system) in order to facilitate construction and further expansions with the same architectural design. The design allows for the...

Affordable Financing?The Crux of Affordable Housing
The improvement of housing affordability through innovation in design and construction has been paid an insufferable amount of lip service by the academics. The fact is that very little...

Housing Opportunity or Social Engineering Implementing the Jobs-Housing Relationship?The Town of Wellington Experience
The proposed Town of Wellington project in Palm Beach County, Florida, was planned based on the needs related to the jobs-housing relationship identified in the area. The conditions placed...

Integrated Assessment of Environmental Risk and Human Response
Meaningful risk assessment for environmental problems requires an integrated consideration of physical science and human behavioral issues. This is particularly true when dissaggregate...

Overview of AWARE: A Software Tool for Balancing Power and Nonpower Values in Water Resource Planning
Decision Focus Incorporated has developed a software tool for the Electric Power Research Institute to help utilities and other water resource planners examine the social trade-offs between...

The Monitoring of Water Conservation Behavior and Attitudes in Southern California
Seldom are the effects of public information programs monitored and analyzed in a sound, systematic manner. Information on the impact of investments in public information programs is essential:...

Reliability Analysis of Uncertain Systems Under Random Loadings
This study considers the reliability assessment of uncertain systems under random loadings. The fast integration method (Wen and Chen, 1987) in conjunction with a second order asymptotic...

Reliability-Based Specification for Engineered Wood Construction
A three-year, industry-sponsored effort has resulted in the development of a reliability-based, load and resistance factor design (LRFD) Specification for wood construction. Improvements...

Load Duration and System Effects in LRFD for Wood Construction
The wood industry is developing a Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) speciification for wood construction using probabilistic concepts. An analysis based on statistical models for...

Sampling Techniques for Time-Variant Reliability Problems
Time-variant structural reliability problems arise when the structural resistance may change with time (such as in structural deterioration) or when the system is acted upon by two or...

Vibration of a Bridge Under a Random Train of Moving Loads
The vibration of a beam resulting from the passage of moving loads is a problem of great importance in structural dynamics. A consistent model for the description of the loads acting on...

Development of a Limit-State Seismic Code for Bridges
The catastrophic collapse of the Cypress Street Viaduct during the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989 and the loss of spans in both the Struve Slough Bridge and the San Francisco-Oakland...

Reliability Model for Bridge Columns under Seismic Loads
This paper develops a model for the analysis of the reliability of bridge columns under earthquake loads. Probability of failure is defined as the probability that the displacement ductility...

Pre-Envelope Covariance Differential Equations
The problem of predicting the safety of structural systems subjected to random loading arises in may engineering applications. In this framework the envelope process plays an important...

Digital Simulation of Wind Load Effects
The time domain solution of the equations of motion of structures subjected to a stochastic wind field is often obtained by a step-by-step integration approach. The loading is often described...

Some Remarks on BK-Models for Fatigue Crack Growth
The choice of a model parameter for concentrating the entire uncertainties of a constant load amplitude fatigue crack growth process is shown to be sufficient when reproducing the first...

A Stochastic Approach to the Fatigue Reliability
In this paper, the stochastic approach, which combines the mixed boundary integral equation method (Lua et al (1992a)) with the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), is applied to study...
