Dynamic Field Response Studies and Earthauqke Instrumentation of the Meloland Road Overcrossing
Ambient vibration data was obtained at the Meloland Road Overcrossing near El Centro in California by The California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) as part of a 1978 Federal Highway...

Instrumentation Considerations for Nondestructive and Destructive Testing of Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges
This paper examines the process of selection and calibration for instruments used in nondestructive and destructive field tests of a reinforced concrete slab bridge. Of great importance...

Performance Monitoring of Concrete Structures with Embedded Sensors
This paper describes the use of embedded fiber optic sensors to monitor the performance of reinforced concrete structures. The fiber optic sensors are capable of measuring vibrations,...

Software Applications for Monitoring Instrumentation Data
The initial program for reducing instrumentation data, used by the Geotechnical Branch of the Louisville District Corps of Engineers, was written in 1969. This program did not allow for...

Results from the Second Performance Assessment Iteration for the Greater Confinement Disposal Facility
The Greater Confinement Disposal (GCD) facility was established by the Nevada office of the Department of Energy (DOE) in Area 5 at the Nevada Test Site for containment of waste inappropriate...

Testing Models of Flow and Transport in Unsaturated Porous Media
The design of an intermediate-scale flow and transport experiment in an unsaturated porous media is described. This experiment will be conducted a 3-m-diameter by 6-m-long caisson filled...

Groundwater Transport Characteristics of Fracture Zones in a Granite Batholith
Major low-dipping fracture zones are the dominant pathways for the large scale circulation of groundwater through the Lac du Bonnet granite batholith of southeast Manitoba, Canada. The...

Control of Tracers, Fluids, and Materials for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project
This paper describes use and control of tracers, fluids, and materials (TFM) at the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. Management of TFM is necessary to ensure that site characterization...

Instrumentation Requirements for the ESF Thermomechanical Experiments
In situ thermomechanical experiments are planned as part of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project that require instruments to measure stress and displacement at temperatures...

²³⁴U/²³⁸U as a Ground-Water Tracer, SW Nevada-SE California
The ²³⁴U/²³⁸U ratio of uranium in oxidizing ground waters is potentially an excellent ground-water tracer...

Aperture Characteristics, Saturated Fluid-Flow, and Tracer-Transport Calculations for a Natural Fracture
We used surface-profile data taken with a noncontact laser profilometer to determine the aperture distribution within a natural fracture and found the surfaces and apertures to be isotropic....

Laboratory Study of Water Infiltration into a Block of Welded Tuff
