50th Anniversary of the Hydraulic Division 1938-1988
This publication consists of the papers presented at the special sessions of the 1988 ASCE National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 8-10,...
U.S. Tackles Leaking Tanks
Regulations to deal with leaking underground storage tanks have been in force since 1984 and deadlines for compliance began in 1989 for tanks installed before 1969. The Environmental Protection...
Seismic Design of Liquid Storage Tanks
Originally published in: Journal of the Technical Councils, ASCE, TC1, April 1981...
Research in ASCE's Hydraulics Division
Research in the Hydraulics Division of ASCE during the last 50 years has undergone changes in both technical content and procedures. Open channel flow, sediment transport and pipe flow...
Vibration Control Damper Using Sloshing of Water
The objective of this study is to develop a method of reducing wind-induced vibration of long-period structures utilizing sloshing of water in tanks added to the upper part of the structures....
Seismic Isolation of Storage Tanks
There has been a significant amount of research activity over the past decade on the seismic design of storage tanks. The seismic design issues and limit states are quite complex due to...
Seismic Large Amplitude Liquid Sloshing?Theory
The sloshing phenomenon in seismically-excited, rectangular, liquid storage tanks is addressed. In particular, a semi-analytical method to study the effects of large amplitude sloshing...
Buckling Criteria for Earthquake-Induced Overturning Stresses in Cylindrical Liquid Storage Tanks
Perhaps one of the most common forms of seismic damage to cylindrical liquid storage tanks made out of steel is buckling of the tank wall due to vertical overturning stresses. Buckling...
Big-Scaled Tilt Test on Uplifting Behavior of Oil Storage Tanks
The authors conducted a series of static tilt tests using a very big model with the full similitude in order to investigate the uplifting behavior of large-scaled tanks. The model was...
Static Tilt Analyses of Uplifting Cylindrical Tank
This paper describes the general method adopted for predicting the static tilt performance of cylindrical liquid storage tank that is free to uplift. In the analysis described here, the...
Management of Drumstick Barrier Islands
Three major problem areas exist on these barrier/inlet systems: 1) the updrift inlet which tends to migrate and erode the upland barrier, 2) the narrow, low and sediment-starved downdrift...
Sand Accounting Methodology for Barrier Island Sediment Budget Analysis
A wide variety of theoretical and analytical techniques are used for estimating island budgets, but surveying has provided the most accurate means of evaluating change. To make comparisons...
Cross Shore Variations in Heavy Minerals in Beaches of the Barrier Dominated Southeast Atlantic Coast
Cross shore beach sample sets from 102 locations along the barrier dominated Atlantic coast from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, to Palm Beach, Florida were studied to determine if there were...
Sediment Transport Processes at Sandbridge, VA
Sandbridge Beach is a primarily residential community located along a 7 km reach of narrow barrier beach. Rates of erosion in this area historically have been high, reaching as much as...
Shoreline Response of Northern New Jersey Barrier System
The barrier island system along northern New Jersey coastline was evaluated for changes in shoreline trends, based on recent shoreline mapping and in support of U.S. Army Engineer, New...
Impacts of Tidal Inlet Formation on the Physical Characteristics of a Barrier Beach?Estuary System
A new tidal inlet at Nauset Beach, an 11 km-long barrier beach in Chatham, Massachusetts, has severely impacted the physical characteristics of the estuary-barrier beach system of which...
The South Carolina Coast II. Development and Beach Management
The variety of development and conservation areas is superimposed on a wide range of erosion and accretion histories. Lack of construction setbacks has contributed to the general but probably...
Shoreline Change Along the South Carolina Coast
Shoreline erosion/accretion rates were determined for the Atlantic coast extending from Tybee Island, GA. along the entire South Carolina coast to Cape Fear, NC. Approximately 130 years...
Status of the Spiny Lobster (Crustacea: Palinuridae) Stocks Off Northeast Brazil in Relation to Fishing Effort and Environmental Conditions
Conditions for the development of relatively abundant populations of spiny lobsters of genus Panulirus, mainly P. argus and P. laevicauda, off Northeast Brazil are consistent with hydrologically...
Geocosta Operations?A Program of Oceanographic Expeditions for the Brazilian Inner Shelf
In July 1979, a new expedition was conducted with the R.V. Almirate Camara, in the same area as GEOMAR X, with the following purposes: surveying profiles with side scan sonar and conducting...
