The Heavy Duty Geogrid Wall
The geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall was a key component in reconstructing a small hydroelectric plant situated at the center of Cascade Dam in Michigan. It was necessary that the...

Special Topics in Foundations
This book contains papers presented at a session related to various theoretical and experimental developments on foundation analysis, design and construction. The papers were written by...

Geosynthetics for Soil Improvement
Geosynthetics have had a tremendous impact on various aspects of soil improvement. In a number of situations which previously had not been technically or economically feasible, geosynthetics...

Furrow Irrigation Performance Using Real Time Control
Computer simulations were conducted, using a simple feedback control algorithm, to determine the potential for improvement of irrigation performance using real-time feedback control. Field...

Conveyance Characteristics of Natural Channels in Wyoming
This paper addresses the quantification of instream or conveyance losses of water being transported within natural stream systems in Wyoming using a net total loss and incremental loss...

Visual Estimates of Flume and Weir Operating Conditions
Laboratory studies were conducted on a rectangular broad-crested weir to determine the effects of entrance and exit conditions on the prediction of discharge and required energy loss....

Geohydrologic Aspects of Water-Quality Problems of the San Joaquin Valley, California
Salinity and selenium concentrations in shallow ground water of the western San Joaquin Valley, California, are related to the geomorphology and hydrology of the alluvial fans. High salinity...

Adjustment of Mountain Stream Channels to Flow Regime Alteration, Preliminary Analysis
One aspect of instream flow regimes being actively debated is the need for channel maintenance of flushing flows. However, little quantitative information exists as to how different types...

Instream fFlows for the Big Bend Reach of the Platte River
The Big Bend reach of the Platte River in Central Nebraska provides habitat for 230 species of migratory birds. Included are six endangered or threatened species and the world's...

Platte River Irrigation Development: Hydrologic Myths
Several proposed municipal and irrigation developments in Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska could impact flows along the Platte River in central Nebraska. Opposition to these projects is...

Design of an Alluvial Channel Relocation in an Urban Environment
The relocation of a three-mile (4.8 km) reach of the Salt River channel in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona is reviewed. The methods used for hydraulic analysis of this dynamic alluvial channel...

Stable and Environmental Channel Design
The Wildcat and San Pablo Creeks Flood Control Project is located in Richmond, California. Both streams flow through a highly urbanized area, periodically overflowing their banks and causing...

Stable Channels with Loose Boundary
Recently, G. Parker suggested that the lateral transport of downstream momentum due to Reynolds stresses should be included in the momentum balance used to calculate the boundary shear...

Computer Aided Hydraulic Design of Open Channels
Over a 10 year period, the computer program, WASURO, was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District, Los Angeles (LAD), which utilized many of the criteria of the previously...

Power Formula for Open-Channel Flow Resistance
This paper evaluates various power formulas for flow resistance in open channels. Unlike the logarithmic resistance equation that can be theoretically derived either from Prandtl's...

Pinto Wash Alluvial Fan Litigation
This paper presents a case history involving flood/damage litigation brought by a downstream farmer against an upstream farmer and a local public irrigation district. The case combined...

Applications of GSTARS Model
GSTARS is a Generalized Stream Tube model for Alluvial River Simulation. Depending on an engineer's need, GSTARS can be used as a fixed boundary as well as a movable boundary...

Mathematical Modeling of Compound Channel with High Sediment Concentration
The mathematical model for erodible channels, FLUVIAL-12, has been extended to simulate the fluvial processes in the lower reach of the Yellow River in China. Fluvial processes in the...

Geotechnical and Hydraulic Stability Numbers for Channel Rehabilitation: Part I, the Approach
A model of incised channel evolution was developed to integrate the geotechnical and hydraulic factors that are involved in channel rehabilitation. Bank stability is attained when the...

Geotechnical and Hydraulic Stability Numbers for Channel Rehabilitation: Part II, Application
Stability numbers for bank stability (N_g) and bed stability (N_h) have been developed. Optimum placement of...
