Long Crested Weirs
A method has been developed to integrate and evaluate the head relationship between canal weirs and turnouts. The objective is to minimize flow variations through the turnout and at the...
Philosophy and Implementation of Gate Stroking
The purpose of this paper is to examine one control method - gate stroking - the philosophy which would lead to its selection and an example of its implementation. Gate stroking provides...
Sedimentation of Summit North Marina Connected to C&D Canal
Possible sedimentation problems at the proposed site of the Summit North Marina were investigated and reported. This brief paper summarizes the detailed results given in the report. The...
Reservoirs Help On-Farm Operation and Automation
Reservoirs can be used to convert a less desirable set of flow rates and durations into a more desirable and flexible set of rates and durations. This will permit irrigation management...
Winery Wastewater Land Application
Winery wastewater is characterized by low pH, relatively high BOD, and a low nutrient content. Land application using rapid infiltration basins has been practiced successfully at a number...
Steady State Fluid Transport Model for Plants
Knowledge of water potentials throughout the xylem and phloem elements as well as in individual cells is fundamental for understanding effects of water and temperature stress on transport...
Rating Curves for Adjustable Tricklers
This paper presents the approach and results of evaluating adjustable drip/trickle emitters to obtain rating curves. The emitter discharge depends on both system pressure and emitter opening...
Mechanical Properties of Model Ice Rubble
Experiments were conducted to measure the mechanical properties of bulk ice rubble. Tests were performed under isothermal and plane strain conditions. Fresh water ice blocks were used...
Microcomputer Assisted Bridge Rating
Before microcomputers can be useful to those officials responsible for rating the approximately 576,000 bridges in this country, software systems must be developed to analyze and rate...
Evaluation of Sediment Transport and Friction Factor Equations Using MOBED
Three sediment transport rate equations and the same number of friction factor equations for mobile boundary channel flows were evaluated using a mobile boundary flow model called MOBED....
Microcomputer Program for Bridge Analysis & Rating
The microcomputer software system, BRCOM, for the analysis and rating of bridge superstructures is described. The system consists of ten programs written in UCSD P-System FORTRAN, which...
Modeling Large Inelastic Cyclic Response of Concrete
Capacity Rating of Existing Piers and Wharves
This paper outlines a method for physically surveying the present material condition of existing piers and wharves and assigning to them a safe rated capacity expressed in displacement...

Optimum Design of Aeration Ramp Slots in Tunnel Spillways
Granular Flow: Industrial Problems Needing Solutions
Slow Rate Sand Filtration Using a Zeolite Surface Amendment
The objective of the study was to obtain detailed information regarding amended filter performance at surface loading rates 2 to 4 times higher than standard flow rates. Experiments were...
Application of a Relative Site Ranking Methodology to Regulation of Groundwater Contamination Sites
An assessment methodology for ranking groundwater contamination sites is described. The ranking of nearly 100 actual contamination sites, and the definition and calibration of 'zones...
Supercomputers and their Impact on Civil Engineering
