Sediment Production from Forest Roads with Wheel Ruts
Artificial rainfall was applied to two sets of paired plots 30.5 m long by 1.52 m wide, each set on a different soil type. One plot in each set contained a wheel rut while the other did...
A Fractal Concept in Stream, Swale, and Sheet Flow
The concept of fractals, in simple terms, says that the patterns of natural features repeat themselves as the feature gets divided into successively smaller segments. In this paper, the...
Instability of Water-Fluid Mud Interface
Erosion and entrainment of fluid mud are treated by means of shear flow analysis. The water-fluid mud system is considered as a layered system of two continua separated by a distinct interface...

Performance of Steel Sheet Pile Cellular Cofferdams
Steel sheet pile cells are often used as construction cofferdams for structures to be constructed in rivers. Examples of this type of construction include locks and dams, pumping stations,...
Evaluation of a 50-Year Old Barge Dock on the Missouri River
The installation of a large crane on an existing barge dock on the Missouri River in Kansas City, Kansas required an evaluation of the dock system stability. The dock was constructed of...

The Chicago Lakefront Plan - 1986
Although Chicago is considered to have one of the world's most beautiful and also stable waterfronts, much of its shore protection is in imminent danger of failure. Nearly...
The Use of Spread Sheets in Water Resources Planning
With the advent of 'spread sheets' in the microcomputer explosion, a tool is available for the first time to greatly simplify many engineering procedures. This...
Spread Sheets for Irrigation and Drainage Projects
Land use planners as well as planners from other disciplines use overlays for site analysis but these are usually a qualitative display. Recently the advent of spread sheets coupled with...
Application of the New SCS Time of Concentration Method
The second edition of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) TR-55, published in June 1986, introduces a new method for calculating the time of concentration for storm runoff flowing through...
Sheet Pile Interlock Behavior: A Moving Contract Problem
The finite element method is used to analyze the behavior of sheet pile interlocks subjected to an uniaxial pull test. The thumb and finger of the interlock provide three contact points...
Seismic Structural Optimization and Computer Programs
A generic system has been developed for the geometric design of highway retaining walls. Merging the three-dimensional coordinate geometry capabilities of the roadway design system (RDS)...
Tiedback Walls Untie Intersection
The intersection of Gallows Rd. and Arlington Blvd. in Virginia's Fairfax County required separation. Tiedback retaining walls, which required only 18 in. instead of the 18-22...
