Managing a New Start Rail Transit Agency
In 1982 the Southern California Rapid Transit District (RTD) was facing two major challenges. A Policy and Management Plan was developed to meet these two major challenges. The Policy...
Time Series Analysis of Hourly Domestic Water Demand
Design flows for water supply and sanitary sewer systems are chosen by rules of thumb in the absence of actual data. This research develops two stochastic models of water demand by analyzing...
Real-Time Data Verification
Recent improvements in the real-time acquisition of hydro-meteorological data have raised concerns regarding the quality of the data received. Water users having practically instant access...
Hydrologic Work Group System Using Distributed Task Processing
The notion behind work group systems is that a collection of co-workers, numbering from a few to a few tens of people, is the logical unit around which to build a centralized microcomputer...
A Computer Aided Approach to Missing Time-Series Data Replacement
The objective of this research is to design, construct, and demonstrate a computer utility which will interactively aid the time series researcher in choosing an appropriate missing data...
Oxygen Transfer Studies in Activated Sludge
A bench-scale research project was undertaken to evaluate the two-film model for predicting oxygen transfer rates in sparged suspended growth systems and to determine if interfacial oxygen...
Time-Dependent Damage and Creep of Brittle Rock
In this paper, some results of a combined analytical-experimental study of the relationship between subcritical microcrack growth due to stress corrosion and the time-dependent deformation...
Energy Forecasting Techniques: An Overview
This paper provides an overview of the primary forecasting techniques employed by electric and natural gas utilities to predict energy consumption and demand. Although the techniques discussed...
Redecking with Precast Keeps Traffic Moving
The Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C. could not be closed to traffic while a new deck was constructed. The engineers designed a precast prestressed and post-tensioned...
Studying Water System Operation by Computer
Computer modeling can greatly improve the planning and operation of water systems at relatively low cost. Time-dependent water system models can be used to refine improvements to a water...
Stochastic Analysis and Modeling Levels of a Land-Locked Lake for Resource Development
Lakes are valuable natural resources that can be tapped for recreational, agricultural and other extensive lake side developments. Natural variability of lake levels is an important factor...
A New Panama Canal?
The Panama Canal is expected to be obsolete by the end of the century. Already there are serious problems with ship traffic through the Canal: volume of traffic is down, average transit...
Stadium Completed Night Before Game
Construction problems with a major addition to the Clemson Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C., halted construction for four months. In order to make up the time, the design firm had to...
