Dynamic Loading of Airfield Pavements Caused by Aircraft Operations on Rough Runways
This paper presents results for dynamic pavement loading of various aircraft under takeoff and taxing scenarios. The data were obtained from computer simulation and applied to the Corps...
Implementation of Elastic Layered Theory for Design of Unbonded Overlays
The U.S. Army and Air Force have implemented the elastic layered theory for design of unbonded overlays for rigid airfield pavements. The procedure allows for design of unbonded overlays...
Bio-Remediation of Simulated Fire Training Facility
A leaking aviation fuel underground storage tank system utilized for fire fighting training at the Will Rogers World Airport was removed by Oklahoma City Department of airports personnel....
Aquifer Storage and Recovery in the Floridan Aquifer System of South Florida
This paper describes the feasibility, construction, testing, and storage zone development of the Boynton Beach Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well, the first successful ASR project...
Joint Probability Distribution of Rainfall Intensity and Duration
Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves are widely used for peak discharge estimation in designing hydraulic structures. Accurate interpolated and extrapolated intensity values are difficult...
Integration of Reliability, Uncertainty and Optimization in Hydraulics Systems: Structural Reliability
The focus of this paper is to provide an overview of analysis and optimal design of systems in which the system reliability is dependent upon the structure of the system (such as the layout...
The Scottsdale Water Campus: There's Nothing Like It
The Scottsdale Water Campus will house facilities to effectively enhance the management of the City's Water Resources in the central and northern section of the City. Wastewater generated...
Reliability Analysis of a Multi-Reservoir Water Distribution System
A methodology for evaluating system reliability is developed to assist in the planning and management of a multi-reservoir water distribution system. The minimum cut-set approach is employed...

Success Syndrome: The Collapse of the Dee Bridge
Scaling up existing successful designs can cause latent weaknesses to become dominant, leading to catastrophe. By studying past failures where this has happened--for example, the 1847...
Road to Recovery
The effect of the Loma Prieta earthquake on San Francisco's elevated viaduct system is still being felt more than four years later. Immediately after the quake, the entire...

Modular Evolution
The construction industry typically thinks of modular steel bridges in terms of the World War II vintage Bailey Bridge. The Bailey Bridge was designed to be quickly deployed to replace...
Solar Stretch
Extrapolating from structural work with textile or metal membrane roofs to cover silos, assembly halls and sports stadia, Schlaich, Bergermann and Partners, a structural engineering firm...
Functional Analysis of the Envelope Design Process for Integrated Building Design
Building envelope failures account for a great portion of building failures. The number of envelope deficiencies would be reduced if the design process was integrated. Integration would...
The Context?Oriented Model: An improved Modeling Approach for Representing and Processing Design Standards
Current electronic design evaluators employ one of three primary computational models to represent a design standard: the Condition/Consequent, Object-Oriented and hybrid models. The problems...
Object-Oriented Structural Analysis with Substructures
Computer-aided structural analysis is a mature field. However, recent research has produced advances in the areas of automated modeling, multi-processing, and programming techniques. The...
