The Re-derivation of the NDBC Wind-Wave Algorithm
The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) currently manages a network of 57 moored buoys and approximately 7 Coastal-Marine Automated Network stations on off shore platforms which transmit...
The Time Dependent Ray Method for Calculation of Wave Transformation on Water of Varying Depth and Current
This focuses on an aspect of the numerical calculation of wave refraction using the ray tracing or the semi-Lagrangian approach. the conventional ray method for steady state depth and...
Utilization of Phosphogypsum-Based Slag Aggregate in Portland Cement and Asphaltic Concrete Mixtures
This study centers around the potential utilization of phosphogypsum-based slag aggregate as a substitute for coarse aggregate in both portland cement and asphaltic concrete surfaces for...
Modeling Municipal Water Demands for a Pump Station Area
The Chasewood Pump Station/Residential Area in southwest Houston was selected for a detailed analysis of ground and surface storage water pumping by a University of Houston and City of...
Agricultural Infrastructure for Urban Irrigation
The Salt River Project (SRP) began as a provider of water for agricultural irrigation. Now most of the lands are urban and receive water distributed by municipalities at high-cost drinking...
Effectiveness of Retrofit in Multi-Family Apartments
This paper reports the results of an evaluation research study of the cost-effectiveness of water-conserving, residential retrofit plumbing devices. By means of a 'quasi-experimental,'...

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...
Strategic Ship Routing Impacts of Temporal Coverage with Real-time Satellite Altimeter-Based Current Information
We investigate strategic ship routing impacts of temporal coverage with real-time satellite altimeter-based current information. We sample underlying daily `true' current patterns along...
Time-related Deflections of Cantilever Bridges
Many prestressed concrete bridges with spans between 100 and 160 m have been built in the Netherlands. The method of construction is the so-called in situ free cantilever construction....
An Inductive Knowledge-Based System for Mitigation of Bridge Fabrication Errors
Fabrication and erection of steel bridges are very error-prone processes. Bridge engineers at the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) felt that there is a need for the development...
A Simplified Method of Multistory-frame Analysis Including the P-? Effect
A simplified method of non-iterative analysis of rigid multistory-frames having vertical columns with different heights within the same story is developed by means of a modification to...
Computer Based Energy Analysis for Mechanical Retrofit of Buildings
Visionaries in the HVAC arena are now focusing their attention on servicing and retrofitting existing buildings. These efforts include modernizing and upgrading deteriorated equipment,...
BRICAL: A Multimedia Intelligent Educational System for Bridge Engineering
This paper discusses the development of a multimedia intelligent educational prototype system for bridge engineering called BRICAL. BRICAL uses information networks to express the relationships...
Performance of Nanhua Dam During Construction
The pore pressure response and settlement during the construction of Nanhua dam were studied by several methods, including Hilf's method, laboratory stress path simulation and numerical...
Dynamic Compaction of Landfill Beneath Embankment
This paper presents the results of a highway project where dynamic compaction was used to densify a closed landfill prior to constructing highway embankments over the landfill. The purpose...
Numerical Modeling of Bridge Approach Settlement with Foundation-Embankment Interaction
Bridge approach settlement is one of the major problems facing the transportation agencies responsible for road construction and maintenance in the United States and in many other countries...
Poorer Is Riskier: Opportunity for Change
With regard to water resources, it is appropriate to build upon two interacting themes of the late Aaron Wildavsky (1988). The first of Wildavsky's themes is the idea of resiliency. The...
Immiscible Organic Liquid Recovery Using Unconfined Membranes
Hydrophobic hollow fiber micropourous membranes have been characterized and applied to the problem of separating and recovering low density hydrocarbons from water surfaces. The merits...
