Improved Hydraulic Features of the HEC River Analysis (HEC-RAS)
The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) is in the process of developing a Next Generation (NexGen) of hydrologic engineering software. The goal in the area of river hydraulics is to develop...
MAC3D: Multiblock Numerical Model for Hydraulic Applications
The MAC3D computer code is a three-dimensional numerical model for incompressible flow. To enhance geometric flexibility, it uses multiblock grids, which are composite structured grids...
Depth-Averaged Flow Model in Curvilinear Coordinates
Implementation of a depth-averaged model in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates permits to resolve questions about grid refinement, the representation of complicated boundaries, and the...
A Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Seasonal Flow and Salt Transport in the C&D Canal
Two seasonal-scale, three-dimensional hydrodynamic models with salt transport using CH3D-WES were constructed to represent the most critical periods of environmental concern: fishery spawning...
Steep Constructed Stream Channels and Chutes
Research and technology transfer needs are described for steep stream channels and chutes. Iterative processes are presented for design and construction of bouldery channels and chutes...
Some Benefits of Grid by Number Sampling
Describing the overall sediment composition of gravel-bed river reaches and depositional bars is a difficult problem due to spatial variations in the sediment size. Past research has focused...
Laplace Valve Stroking for Complex Piping Systems
LaPlace valve stroking to control water hammer is applied in complex piping systems with friction and without friction. Two types of system are analyzed. The law of operation of the valves...
Expansion and Contraction of Powder River Between Moorhead and Broadus, MT: Geomorphic Observations and Numerical Modeling
Sixteen years of annual surveys demonstrate that the channel of Powder River expands at high flows and contracts at low flows. Channel contraction is associated with the formation of benches...
Discharge-Frequency Relationships in Distributary Flow Systems
The paper describes discharge-frequency relationships in distributary flow systems. The stream network that makes up the flow system is described in terms of how the various stream segments...
Flow and Chloride Transport in the Tidal Hudson River, NY
A one-dimensional dynamic-flow model and a one-dimensional solute-transport model were used to evaluate the effects of hypothetical public-supply water withdrawals on saltwater intrusion...
Malaysia's Twins: High-Rise, High Strength
U.S. firms, following the market for new skyscrapers to Asia, are involved in design and construction of twin office towers in the commercial heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that will...
Structures Congress XII
This proceedings, composed of two volumes, contains the papers presented at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Twelfth Structures Congress held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, April...
Computer-Integrated Construction
Computers have been used quite successfully as replacements for manual drafting, but to stop there seriously underuses the potential of computer aided design. By using the computer's...
Minimizing the Probable Maximum Flood
A newly-developed probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimate for Wisconsin and Michigan reduced precipitation depths by 20%. Should a given area's probable maximum flood...
Computing in Civil Engineering
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the First Congress on Computing in Civil Engineering, sponsored by the technical Council on Computer Practices of the American Society...
Hydraulics of Pipelines
The proceedings,
Planes, Trains and the Games
Olympics-related construction in Atlanta isn't limited to sports facilities. The city is also gearing up for the 1996 Summer Games by accomplishing some major transportation infrastructure...
