Performance of Steel Structures
A description of the various types of steel structures built in Mexico City is made, including comparisons of the older types of steel construction with more modern buildings. Performance...

A Clean Up in Slow Motion
Eight years have passed since contamination was first discovered at the Valley Wood Preserving plant in Turlock, Calif. Though severe chromium contamination continues to travel toward...

Settlement of Residual Soils
The method previously suggested by the author in 1977 for calculating settlement of non-plastic to slightly plastic Piedmont Physiographic Region residual soils is reviewed. Additional...

Foredune Management on a Developed Shoreline: Nedonna Beach, Oregon
Nedonna Beach and Rockaway Beach are adjoining oceanfront communities with foredunes that were developed before state policies went into effect. The foredunes in these two communities...

Numerical Solutions for Problems Related to Nearshore Morphology?!
In the development of numerical models of nearshore morphology various steps can be envisaged: 1. initial models: the initial bottom topography remains unchanged; spatial variations in...

Use of Vibration Measurements in Structural Evaluation
Over the past decade the capabilities for vibration measurements and analysis have advanced significantly. It is now a routine procedure to be able to measure natural frequencies of structures...

Engineering Aspects of Soil Erosion, Dispersive Clays and Loess
This collection of papers deals with selected engineering aspects of soil erosion, dispersive clays and loess. Two types of erosion are considered?surface and subsurface (piping)?with...

Dynamic Response of Pile Foundations?Experiment, Analysis and Observation
In recent years, a considerable amount of attention has been paid to the dynamic response behavior of pile foundations. However, mainly because of difficulties in conducting tests and/or...

The Mexico Earthquakes?1985
Factors Involved and Lessons Learned
This publication reports initial results of study of the 1985 Mexico earthquake, one year after the event. The findings present sufficient depth of analysis to provide an understanding...

Verification of a Generalized Mudflow Model
This paper presents the results from recently completed studies verifying the accuracy and applicability of a generalized one-dimensional model for dynamic routing of mudflows. Numerical...

Calibration of an Evapotranspiration Model Using Eddy Correlation Methods
An evapotranspiration (ET) prediction model was developed by calibrating the H. L. Penman equation for an alfalfa reference crop in the southwestern Oklahoma region. Evaporative flux for...

Wind Tunnel Investigation of a Twin Deck Suspension Bridge
Wind tunnel measurements of the response of a twin deck suspension bridge to dynamic wind loads are presented. The investigation was concerned with the determination of the deck response...

Safety of Long Span Highway Bridges Based on Dynamic Response
This paper consists of an analytical study regarding the dynamic response of highway bridges subjected to heavy vehicle loads, with emphasis on long span low fundamental frequency bridges....

Kinematic, Diffusion and Dynamic Catchment Modeling
This paper reports on a series of tests aimed at developing improved procedures for catchment routing. The objective is to compare kinematic and diffusion models within several scenarios...

Utility Programs for DWOPER and DAMBRK
Time and computer resources greatly limit potential investigations and sensitivity anslyses. In order to facilitate modeling with the National Weather Service (NWS) programs DWOPER (Operational...

Criteria for Selecting a Reservoir Routing Method
Results of an investigation comparing dynamic and storage reservoir routing applied in dam safety analyses are presented. Outflow hydrographs computed by these reservoir routing methods...

A Modal Coupling Procedure for Structural Dynamics
A method is presented for synthesizing the real modes of substructures to obtain the complex modes of the combined structure. These complex modes properly include the nonclassical damping...

A Comparative Study of Different Base Isolators
A comparative study of the effectiveness of four different base isolators is carried out. The structure is modeled as a rigid mass and the accelerograms of the North-South component of...

Response of Structures to Horizontal-Vertical Earthquakes
In the present work, the responses of a class of hysteretically nonlinear structures subjected to the combined horizontal and vertical random ground accelerations are studied. A massless...

Seismic Response of Simple Structures with Coulomb Damping
A single story structure incorporating a floor-sliding mechanism for dissipation of vibration energy through Coulomb friction damping is examined. The response of this structure is evaluated...
