Acoustic Emission Source Locations in Concrete
The location of acoustic emission (AE) sources can potentially provide information on the fracture process zone in brittle materials such as concrete. Typical AE experiments generate very...

Hazardous Materials Data: A Federal Perspective
This paper discusses the evolution and current status of the Hazardous Materials Incident Report System (HMIRS) maintained by the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) of...

Developing a HazMat Incident Evaluation Program
This paper describes the Illinois Hazardous Materials Incident Evaluation Program. The history, development strategies, implementation, forms for reporting, screening and data input, and...

Automated Performance Monitoring of U.S. Dams
The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of a comprehensive report prepared by USCOLD on General Guidelines and Current U.S. Practice in Automated Performance Monitoring of Dams....

Public Involvement in the Safety Monitoring of Dams, Embankments and Slopes
New methods of safety monitoring of dams, embankments and slopes require automated data acquisition, data transmission and computer based data evaluation to provide immediate safety information...

Field Instrumentation Program Vital to Deep Excavation Project
An extensive field instrumentation, monitoring and evaluation program was implemented for a seven-level deep excavation project in Boston. Using the observational approach, the information...

Group Effect in the Case of Downdrag
A summary of the various techniques available to calculate downdrag forces on pile groups is presented. In light of all these existing techniques, a simplified method is recommended. An...

Use of Bar Code Technology to Simplify Sieve Analysis Data Acquisition
A system has been developed at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Ohio River Division Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory using bar codes and a computer coupled balance to aid in data collection...

Data Acquisition and Test Control in the Laboratory
With the progressive development of microcomputer technology, microcomputer based data acquisition systems have become an indispensable tool in the soil mechanics laboratory. This paper...

Effect of Shell on Beach Performance: Examples from the West-Central Coast of Florida
Time-series analysis of beach profiles and sediment analysis along the Pinellas County coast of Florida over a 2-yr. period shows that shell abundance has an influence on beach performance....

Sponge Distribution at Arraial do Cabo, SE Brazil
Spatial and temporal distribution of shallow water sponges were studied on southeastern Brazilian rocky coasts by means of qualitative and quantitative samples made by SCUBA diving. Cluster...

Design and Implementation of a Coastal Resource Geographic Information System: Administrative Considerations
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a data management and information analysis system that allows the capture, synthesis, generation, retrieval, analysis and output of spatial data....

An Update to CoastWatch?NOAA's New Capability for the Coastal Ocean
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) CoastWatch project was initiated in August 1988 in response to a red tide event off the North Carolina coast....

A New Approach to Ocean Data Management
Ocean Data Management is the collection, storage, analysis and dissemination of a wide variety of physical, chemical, biological and geological data useful for research purposes in the...

NOAA's Coastal Ocean Database and FOCOS Program
The NOAA Center for Ocean Analysis and Prediction (COAP) was recently formed in Monterey to support collection, distribution, and analysis of marine data for application to coastal ocean...

Destruction Caused by Hurricane Hugo: A Timber Resources Damage Assessment in a Coastal Region
Damage assessments of large areas impacted by intense natural storms can be difficult. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the area and amount of damage to pine forests within...

Monitoring the Physical Evolution of Tidal Wetland Restoration Projects
Increased knowledge of the ecology, biology, and physical processes of wetland environments in the last several decades has improved the awareness of the critical role these environments...

Alongshore Sediment Transport Rate Distribution
The initial analysis of a new set of experimental data on alongshore sediment transport rate distribution is presented. The distributions were generally found to be bimodal but tended...

Problems Associated with Deterministic Modelling of Extreme Beach Erosion Events
Recent developments in numerical modelling of cross-shore sediment transport and beach profile evolution have generally been based on a deterministic approach to the problem. That is to...

Quantifying Mud Exchange Between the Eastern Scheldt Tidal Basin and the North Sea
Net transport of sediment < 53 ?m through the mouth of the Eastern Scheldt has been quantified. Combination of data on spatial and temporal variability shows that incertainties...
