Alternate Designs for the Sidewalls of Hydraulic Jump Stilling Basins
This paper discusses several alternate designs to replace the full height sidewalls of a type 2 U.S. Bureau of Reclamation stilling basin. The alternate designs that were investigated...
Measurement and Analysis of Tracfcfifc-Induced Transient Motion in Navigation Channels
Two-induced physical effects related to navigation changes on the Kanawha River, West Virginia were measured at three environmentally sensitive representative locations. The purpose of...
Hydrologiic Risk Analysis for Small Dams in Missouri
A methodology is presented for calculating the risk cost for a dam based on probabilities for rainfall depth, antecedent moisture condition, rainfall time distribution, initial reservoir...
An Error Analysis of the Dynamic Wave Model
The Dynamic Wave Operational Model (DWOPER) is used to forecast river stages on the Lower Columbia River. DWOPER was developed by the National Weather Service's Hydrologic...
The Physics of Sediment Transport by Wind and Water

Simulation of Long Period Ground Motions for a Large New Madrid Earthquake
Ground motions for a large New Madrid earthquake are simulated to provide response spectra in the period range of 0.5-20 seconds for hard rock sites at Chicago and Atlanta. The ground...
Mitigation of Seismic Effects on Water Systems
Historically, earthquakes have caused damage to water systems. In this paper, water system facilities at risk due to seismic activity as well as potential damage mechanisms are identified....
Performance Characteristics of Structures, 1985 Mexico City Earthquake
The 1985 Mexico City earthquake caused major damage to buildings, but not other structures, in the center of Mexico City, located approximately 400 km. from the epicenter. Due to soil...
Waves in the Water Works
The 1986 amendments to the 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act are far reaching laws that may affect many drinking water utilities across the nation in the next decade. Congress passed legislation...
The Oregon Coast Aquarium ? A Case Study
The Oregon Coast Aquarium, to be located in Newport, OR. , has been carefully developing over the past five years. Proposed as a coastal interpretive center, it will trace a water droplet...
Design of Breakwaters for Hurricane Wave Attack
The breakwaters protecting Port of Haina in the Dominican Republic have been repeatedly damaged by hurricane storm waves. Attempt to repair the destroyed portions have been largely unsuccessful....
Integrated Monolayer Flexible Revetment Technology for Coastal Protection
Fundamental considerations for flexible revetment design are given in some detail and the critical need for sound engineering in a total system design approach is strongly emphasized....
Collective Response to Erosion Along the Nigerian Coastline
Natural factors for the rapid coastal erosion include an intense wave climate, a low coastal plain topography, vulnerable sediment or soil characteristics and, the global eustatic rise...
Domestic Sewage Disposal Pribilof Islands Small Diameter Ocean Outfalls
This paper presents aspects of planning, permitting, design, and construction of two unique small diameter ocean outfalls for the Native Alaskan Villages of Saint George and Saint Paul,...
Coastal Dunes for Protection and Sand Resources
Massive mining of dune sand on the north coast of Puerto Rico has impaired the natural ability of the dunes to protect the coast from high waves and long-term erosion. This paper presents...
Analysis of Berth Operability by Utilization of Agitation Models
Agitation models are utilized in order to predict the operability of berths for ship unloading purposes. Usually, in such models all ship displacements are measured and when one of them...
Concrete Armor Mats: Large-Scale Wave Tank Tests Wave Stability Tests
Concrete mats provide an alternative to the more conventional shoreline stabilization techniques. Material requirements are low, placement techniques are straightforward and they tend...
California Coastal Literature Inventory System
As part of the Coast of California Storm and Tidal Waves Study the Army Corps of Engineers developed a microcomputer database of over 2300 coastal references for California. This menu...
Barbers Point, Oahu, Hawaii Deep Draft Harbor Monitoring Program
The deep draft harbor at Barbers Point, Oahu, Hawaii is located on the south side of the island. The 92 acre harbor basin is a product of over 25 years of planning and engineering. The...
Comparing Results of Wave Data from Two Recorders
In this paper two sets of wave measurements made in the same region using a pressure transducer and a wave rider bouy are compared. The same methods of analysis were applied to both the...
