Three-Dimensional Free Surface Modeling (Is There a Best Approach?)
With the increases in computing power, researchers all over the world are developing and applying three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic models. The numerical techniques employed are usually...
Three-Dimensional Variable Resolution Hydrodynamic and Transport Modeling of the Chesapeake Bay System
This paper describes a domain decomposition methodology used in the application of the three-dimensional environmental fluid dynamics code, EFDC, to model hydrodynamics and transport in...
Structure of Coastal Upwelling on a Sloping Bottom
A large eddy simulation of coastal upwelling on a sloping bottom is carried out. The structure of the upwelling consists of a persistent primary front, a temporary secondary front which...
Proposal on Story Drift Limit Based on Axial Behavior of Column under Seismic Loads
The main function of columns primarily is to support axial loads both under and after repeated lateral loading from earthquakes. A definition of the story drift limit in any structural...
Real World Applications of Pipeline Leak Detection
This paper covers various leak detection methodologies and how they are integrated into the Williams Pipe Line system. Special emphasis is given to the dynamic model method of leak detection...
Database for Pipeline Bridges in North America
Work began in 1985 at Wayne State University on a research study of pipeline suspension bridges. This effort, which was funded by ANR Pipeline Company of Detroit, Michigan, investigated...
Measurement and Analysis of Airside Pavement Roughness at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
In May 1990, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport management contracted with Harding Lawson Associates to implement a pavement management system for that airport. In this implementation,...
Dynamic Loading
This chapter deals with those problems of finite element analysis of concrete structures, which arise from the dynamic nature of loadings. Following a short enumeration of the dynamic...
Verification of Deep Foundations by NDT Methods
Deep foundations are designed using static analysis techniques and the soil strength and structural integrity are then confirmed by static load tests. However, static tests are time consuming...
Evaluation and Monitoring of Pile Performance Using Dynamic Measurements in Supporting Offshore Structures
The installation of offshore platforms into deeper waters and new environments is accompanied by an increasing uncertainty in the structure response, foundation design and performance....
Pultruded Composites: Materials for the 21st Century
The main objective of this paper is to introduce pultruded composites to the civil engineers and to create the awareness of its important applications. A description of the pultrusion...

Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures II
This proceedings,
Bridging the Gulf
The Gulf War and saturation of traditional Middle Eastern markets have prompted Western firms to look into the United Arab Emirates, the wealthiest of the small states around the Arabian...
Dynamic Response and Progressive Failure of Special Structures
This proceedings,
Condition Monitoring of Structures Using Transient Response
Condition monitoring of structures by measuring transient response and tracking the derived modal parameters has been applied with success in three laboratory studies. Where modal parameters...
Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Shear Transfer
This study was focused on the dynamic response of concrete interfaces under the effects of impulsive loads, and the relationship between the interface shear transfer and the response in...
Wind Cross-Spectrum Effects on Long-Span Bridges
This paper discusses current analysis for long span bridge response based on wind components. The authors summarize the development of techniques which take such components into account,...
Energy Dissipation Characteristics of Rubber Cylinders
A simplified procedure for scaling the energy absorption characteristics of rubber cylinders during high speed impact is presented. Static and dynamic tests of scale model and full size...
Use of Hierarchical Lattices for Predicting the Fluid or Stress Transfer in Concrete
Hierarchical lattices are used to study the influence of local disorder on the transfer of properties (stresses, strains, permeability) from the micro-scale to the macro-scale. They are...
