PC-RUNOFF and dBASE III for Stormwater Data Management, Planning and Design
A version of the RUNOFF Block of the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) has been extensively revised for the Microcomputer Stormwater Simulation Manager (MSSM). In addition, PRERUN, a...

Interactive Modeling and Display of Spatial and Time Varying Phenomena Using CAPLIB7
This paper describes some of the software being used at Cornell University to aid the development of tools for modeling phenomena having both spatial and temporal dimensions. Such models...

Statistical Analysis of Tellico Dam Piezometer Data
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the use of statistical and computer processing methods as a tool for analyzing dam safety piezometric monitoring data. Statistical methods are...

A Microcomputer Program for Bearing Capacity Analysis
The objective of this paper is to introduce an IBM/PC/XT/AT microcomputer program for the Bearing Capacity Analysis of Shallow Foundations. The program incorporates the bearing capacity...

Geotechnical Data Acquisition and Computerized Analysis
In 1983 and 1984, an exploratory tunnel was constructed as part of the geotechnical exploration program for two highway tunnels to be constructed for the improvement of Interstate 70 through...

Continuous Loading Consolidation Testing Using a Microcomputer for Control and Data Acquisition
An overview of some of the methods of one-dimensional consolidation testing currently in use is presented, including the load-increment test, the constant rate of strain test, the constant...

Computer Aided Analysis of Frame Structures
A Plane Frame Analysis (PFA) system is presented. The system analyses structures with prismatic beam and truss elements, elastic supports, internal releases, support settlements, node...

Hierarchical Substructuring for Adaptive Analysis
An algorithm for the automatic generation, from solid models, of finite element meshes organized as spatially addressable quaternary trees (for 2-D analysis) or octal trees (for 3-D analysis)...

Real Time Data Acquisition in Structural Testing
The process of data collection in real time for structural engineering can be generalized into a process called the real time sequence. The sequence has three major phases: preliminary...

Microcomputer Implementation of Geographic Information Systems
With the more recent development of high performance microcomputers, efforts have been made to adapt. Information Systems (GIS) software to microcomputers for application to a wide variety...

Computer Errors?Who's Responsible
This paper proposes that both the program developer and the program user share the responsibility for preventing errors in the use of computer programs for engineering design and analysis....

Computerized Construction Progress Control
In 1983 and 1984, an exploratory tunnel was constructed as part of the geotechnical exploration program for two highway tunnels to be constructed for interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon,...

Microcomputer Construction Operations Simulation
This paper summarizes the current status of an ongoing research project whose objective is to collect time data from videotapes of field construction operations and use the data as input...

Physical and Chemical Data Needs for Design
The problems and deficiencies in the existing characterisation and evaluation of urban stormwater runoff quality are examined through discussion of adopted and proposed design criteria...

Review of Data Needs and Collection Technology
The quality - or pollutional effect - of urban runoff has not attained a societal level of importance sufficient to support understanding it, much less controlling it. The paper reviews...

Sources of Urban Pollutants?Do we Know Enough?
The non-USGS data from the NURP program are summarized in terms of their availability and adequacy for decision making and modeling. Results of selected projects are reviewed and related...

Lognormality of Point and Non-Point Source Pollutant Concentrations
This paper presents a series of probability plots of water quality data from a variety of discharge sources. It is intended to provide a visual display of the appropriateness of characterizing...

Estimation of Pollution from Highway Runoff?Initial Results
One of the first tasks in the present effort was to assemble a data base of highway runoff characteristics. In the paper that data base is described, the data are summarized, and best...

Issues and Challenges in Transit Performance Research
Using performance indicators as a management tool in the transit industry is a developing art. Three theoretical issues have deterred progress: disagreement over definitions of efficiency...

An Infrastructure-Based Strategy for Guiding Reconstruction, Development and Reconciliation in Lebanon
In 1979 an agreement was entered into between the CDR, U. S. A. I. D. , and the American University of Beirut (AUB) whereby an interdisciplinary team of AUB researchers would develop a...
