Pre-Compression of Concrete Breasting Dolphins Solves Construction Problem
A roll-on/roll-off ferry terminal was built in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1989 as part of a marine transportation system to support construction of the sewage treatment facilities proposed...
Pier and Wharf for U.S. Navy Homeport, Everett
Design of the homeporting facilities at Everett, Washington, began in 1985. The U.S. Navy and the design team were faced with many challenges, including a waterfront site containing contaminated...
Design and Construction of Waterfront Facilities at U.S. Navy Homeport at Ingleside, Texas
The waterfront facilities for the largest of the Navy's new homeports in the Gulf of Mexico were completed in 1990. The project included over 2,500 feet (762 m.) of deep draft bulkhead...

Replacement of a Deteriorated Steel Sheet Pile Bulkhead
This paper presents a life history of a marine steel sheet pile bulkhead, over 35 years old, that has been exposed to a salt water environment with minimal maintenance or repair in the...
Multiuser Sites for Contaminated Sediment Disposal
The Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) recently adopted a program to identify, rank, and clean up contaminated sediment sites in Puget Sound. Site cleanup, in conjunction with dredging...
Use of Interactive Simulation Environments for Evaluation of Water Supply Reliability
This paper investigates physical performance measures and their practical application to a regional water resource system for western Washington. Specific criteria for characterizing the...
Modeling Variable Width Buffer Zones with a Geographic Information System
It is possible to gain significant protection of water resources from nonpoint pollution with buffer strips, but frequently a single width strip is not appropriate. Geographic information...
Engineering Aspects of Wetland Design
Successful wetland enhancement, restoration, or creation projects require integration of desired wetland functions, local hydrologic and soil conditions, and biological requirements into...
Fingerprint Identification of Groundwater Petroleum Contamination Using Synchronous Scanning Fluorescence
Synchronous scanning fluorescence spectroscopy, SSF, is a simple, cost effective method for the fingerprint analysis of many petroleum contaminates in groundwater and soil samples. The...
Delaware Estuary Nonpoint Source Control Program
Preparation of the Delaware Estuary Management Plan, sponsored by the EPA and the three states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, is part of the national estuaries program. As part...
Seattle Swings Again
The 1992 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award went to a bridge that the experts said couldn't be built�a concrete segmental box girder swing bridge with twin leaves...
Reuse Rules
Cities that discharge sewage effluent to surface water are under increasing pressure to reduce concentrations of heavy metals, ammonium and nitrate, and substances such as toxic organic...
Evaluation of Fine Aggregate Particle Shape and Texture
In an effort to minimize or eliminate permanent deformation (rutting) of heavy duty asphalt pavements most governing agencies now limit the amount of natural sand which generally (not...
Realistic Specifications for Manufactured Sand
Data which demonstrate the beneficial effect of using fine aggregate having high fines contents on concrete properties are presented. All data indicate that the use of a high fines content...
Performance of Free Draining Base Course at Fort Campbell, Kentucky
In 1990 a free draining base course layer was constructed in the structural section of a pavement to be used as a military vehicle maintenance yard at Port Campbell, Kentucky. The Corps...

James L. Sherard Contributions
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr. James L. Sherard, who made many contributions to embankment dam engineering. Twenty-one of his papers related to this topic were selected...
Seismic Hazards in the Eastern U.S. and the Impact on Transportation Lifelines
In the eastern US seismicity is low, hazard is moderate, and risk is quite high, especially in metropolitan regions with vulnerable transportation systems typically not designed to resist...
Seismic Hazard Along a Central U.S. Oil Pipeline
An integrated approach is used to evaluate seismic hazards at six sites where pipeline 22 crosses the major rivers in West Tennessee. On the basis of historical and instrumental data,...
