Relationship Between Lysimeter Area and Evapotranspiration (ET)
The lysimeter is an important instrument for measuring evapotranspiration (ET) of crops. It is widely used in the irrigation and drainage experimental stations in China. However, the areas...
Temporary Structures for Protection and Access
Temporary Structures in Construction Projects (TSC) are utilized for three (3) purposes A. Support (of the structure being built or adjacent structures or utilities) B. Protection (of...
Temporary Traffic Deck Over Braced Excavation
A case history is used to examine the planning, design, and installation of a temporary traffic deck over a 23-foot-deep braced excavation. The deck was installed in a three-phase sequence...
Permanent Structure as Part of the Underpinning System for Boston's Central Artery
The Central Artery, a major six lane structural steel viaduct, has been one of Boston's most significant roadways over the past three decades. Increasing congestion, accidents,...
Design and Planning of Structural Steel Roll-In
Innovative construction methods were required to erect structural steel inside a 170 foot long box truss over a railroad. The contractor engineered and executed a unique system to roll...
Boston Central Artery/Tunnel Project?Fort Point Channel I-90 Tunnel Crossing
Part of the Central Artery and Third Harbor Tunnel Project involves the construction of a very unusual section of immersed tunnel. While the Third Harbor Tunnel which will cross Boston...
Ductile Frames Are Tough for Earthquakes
Implications of a new structural system in wharf design go far beyond San Francisco Bay, where two such wharves remained intact after the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. The design, introduced...
Jointless Redecking
If you're redecking a bridge, why not eliminate a major cause of its corrosion at the same time? Why not remove the expansion joints? The Department of Public Works in Steuben...
A New Look at Galvanized Bridges
Engineers are rediscovering that galvanizing is one of the longest lasting methods of imparting corrosion protection to steel bridges. It also avoids the stringent new EPA regulations...
Lifeline Design of Bridges
An analysis and design procedure is presented for retrofitting steel girder bridges that may experience the loss of a pier or column. Multispan and continuous grider bridges are treated....
Response of Ductile Iron Pipelines at Parkfield, CA to Loma Prieta Earthquake
A field experiment designed to investigate the performance of buried pipelines at a fault crossing has been constructed at Owens' Pasture near Parkfield, CA. The site was...
Seismic Behavior of Buried Pipelines Through Field Observation
This paper presents seismic response characteristics of embedded pipes based on field measurements. Strains induced in steel pipe and ductile pipes with expansion joints are studied. Special...
Restrained Underground Piping?Some Practical Aspects of Analysis and Design
This paper is a brief update of stress analysis techniques published earlier [1] to aid the analyst in qualifying continuous welded steel buried pipelines that are subject to seismic soil...
The Design and Construction Aspects of the Structure Research Tests at Cypress Viaduct
A research program is described whose task was to gather information about the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the existing Cypress bridge structure and to evaluate the effectiveness...
Environmental Wave Barriers for Small Craft Harbors
This paper describes the history and development of the environmental wave barrier and the current planning and design being undertaken for a major expansion of the small boat harbor at...
Innovation in the Marina Facilities
To meet the need for sufficient pleasure boat storage facilities in Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has developed a new type of boat storage system called 'Mitsubishi...
Viscoelastomeric Connections in Seismic Structures
Nonlinear Kelvin and Maxwell impedances connect lumped masses to form arbitrary networks. Viscoelastomer-steel composite moment connections are modeled similarly, using auxiliary masses,...
Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Structural Members
ASCE's standard
Retrofitting Fossil Plant Facilities Structural Perspectives
This publication, Retrofitting Fossil Plant Facilities: Structural Perspectives, was prepared by the Retrofit Task Committee of the Fossil Power Committee of the American Society of Civil...
Microtunneling MARTA
Microtunneling technology was used to provide temporary support for two transit tunnels that were part of the extension of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority system. This...
