Experimental Mixes to Minimize Rutting
This report describes the materials and construction details involved in the design and placement of four experimental mixes on I-95 (Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike) in 1985 and follows...

AE Instrumentation and Deconvolution Techniques
This paper describes the difficulties and solutions achieved in applying advanced Acoustic Emission (AE) signal analysis techniques to fracture mechanics. The test specimen is a double...

Detection of Small Voids by Impact-Echo and Signal Processing
The Impact-Echo method was used to detect slab thickness, presence of small voids and reinforcement locations in a concrete slab. Studying the frequency response of the slab, it is possible...

Displacement Measurement by Laser Interferometry and Image Analysis
Laser holographic interferometry was used for the evaluation of displacement fields on concrete and fiber reinforced concrete specimens. Transmission holography was used to analyze mortar...

Hydraulic Engineering
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the ASCE National Convention on Hydraulic Engineering given July 30 to August 3, 1990 in San Diego, California. The Conference provided...

Desktop Publishing for the Design Firm
Desktop publishing lets engineering firms put together reports with high-quality text and graphics in-house. Presentations and publications can be produced with greater flexibility at...

Water Transport in Limestone by X-Ray CAT Scanning
The transport of water through the interior of Salem limestone test briquettes can be dynamically monitored by computer aided tomography (commonly called CAT scanning in medical diagnostics)....

Low-Cycle Fatigue Reliability of Offshore Structures Subjected to Earthquakes
This paper develops and implements a methodology for predicting probabilistically the damage an offshore structure will experience in an earthquake. The analysis begins with the probability...

Early Age Strength Detection for In-situ Concrete
In recent years it has become increasingly beneficial to know the quality of concrete as soon as possible after it has been placed. This is especially true for high-rise concrete buildings...

Reliable Displacements from Integrated Quick-Release Accelerograms
A new baseline correction method has been developed which allows accelerograms collected during quick-release tests of full scale structures to be doubly integrated to displacements. The...

Biaxial Damage Assessment
The structural system under investigation is a frame subject to seismic excitations. The analysis accounts for the spatial distribution of beams, columns and bracing system. It also considers...

Tension Leg Platform
a State of the Art Review
Prepared by the Task Group on Compliant Offshore Platforms of ASCE. This report considers the analysis and design of tension leg platforms (TLPs),...

Barrier Islands: Dynamic Coastal Landforms Requiring Complex Management Decisions
Barrier islands and spits are found along ten to twenty percent of the world's coastline, and are the predominant coastal landforms composing about eighty-five percent of...

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...

Erosion and Washover in Coastal Louisiana
In 1985 three hurricanes affected the barrier coastline (Caminada-Moreau Headland) of Louisiana. These produced severe coastal erosion and rapid washover extension. Using the 1979 U.S.G.S....

The South Carolina Coast I. Natural Processes and Erosion
The heart of South Carolina's beach erosion problem in South Carolina lies along those 26 miles of beach which are developed and are apparently experiencing more rapid erosion....

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...

A Review of the South Carolina Method for Establishing Coastal Setback Lines
The location of the setback line will depend to a large extent on the nature of the shoreline. Those areas adjacent to an unstabilized tidal inlet and affected by coastal processes at...

Coastal Processes and Management Issues on Folly Island, SC: 1850-1988
Folly Island has been the subject of numerous Federal studies, recommendations, and authorized appropriations since 1935. The overall consensus of these studies is that construction of...

Selection of Marine Bioindicators for Monitoring Radioactive Wastes Released from Nuclear Power Plants
The Brazilian Nuclear Program comprises the Angra I Nuclear Power Plant, in operational tests; the Angra II Nuclear Power Plant, under construction, expected to be completed in 1992; and...
