Hydro System Enhancement: TVA's Comprehensive Hydropower Program
The Tennessee Valley Authority's Comprehensive Hydropower Program is systematically identifying opportunities for increasing hydroelectric generation in five areas: small...

Independent Review of Truman Dam Operation
The Truman Dam in Missouri was constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1979 as a pumped-storage facility. Due to fishkill and other controversies, the pumpback feature of the project...

Impacts of Indexed Sequential Hydrological Modeling on Hydrogeneration Capacity Estimation
Indexed sequential modeling (ISM) has been proposed by the Western Area Power Administration as an alternative approach to developing firm marketable capacity (i. e. , project dependable...

Computer Modeling for a Power Intake
This paper describes the application of an existing computer model to respond to environmental requirements for a small scale hydroelectric power plant being developed by Allegheny Electric...

Simulation of River Ice Processes on Alaska's Susitna River
A numerical river ice model is applied to an 85-mile reach of Alaska's Susitna River immediately downstream of the proposed Susitna Hydroelectric Project. The model is designed...

Three-Dimensional Plotting in Dam Potentials
Hydroelectric development is important to many basins in the western United States. Topographical studies are normally used to arrive at sites to be chosen for further investigation of...

U.S./PRC Cooperation on the Three Gorge Project
The Three Gorge Project is the keystone project in developing and using the Yangtze River. It is located on the main stem of the Yangtze River, about 40 km upstream from the Gezhouba Project...

LRFD Format for Transmission Structures
The structural design of high voltage electric transmission lines in the US is usually governed by the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). A simple reliability-based Load and Resistance...

A Field Study of Wind-Induced Conductor Loads
A 161 kV steel pole line in Omaha, Nebraska, is instrumented to provide conductor load field data due to climatic events. Various transducers and monitoring equipment used for data acquisition...

Costs of Truck Related Highway Damage to Alaska
The cost of pavement damage to the State of Alaska for truck traffic continues to be a very controversial topic. There is no simple answer since this cost is dependent upon pavement strength,...

Drilling Unit Approval and Sea Ice, Alaska OCS
This paper describes types of ice conditions that have been, or could be, encountered while conducting Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) operations. The types of ice monitoring programs,...

Building Foundation on Thawed Soil and Permafrost
The site of a planned 10,000 square foot State Youth Facility in Bethel, Alaska was found to be underlain by discontinuous permafrost. This paper describes the geophysical and geotechnical...

Stabilization of a Permafrost Subsidence in the Airport Runway at Bethel Alaska
During the construction of the extension to the Bethel Airport runway in 1969, it was necessary to construct a fill across a small gully. The subbase material in the gully contained some...

A Laboratory Study of Factors Affecting Wetted Snow Roads
A brief review of the the literature concerning the application of water to the surface of snow roads is presented. It is demonstrated that there is no general agreement on the proper...

The CBR Test Applied to Processed and Compacted Snow
The processes used during the past two decades to improve the snow bear a modest resemblance to conventional flexible pavement construction, thus the field CBR (California Bearing Ratio)...
