Implementation and Performance of Berm Breakwater Design at Racine, WI
A large berm-type breakwater has been constructed at the entrance to Racine Harbor, Wisconsin, on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The breakwater is approximately 450 feet long, in...
Arctic Coastal Processes and Slope Protection Design
Cold regions present special challenges for civil engineers. The papers in this book address arctic coastal processes and slope protection design. The first part of the book focuses on...
Design and Evaluation of Storm Water Detention Facilities Using a Design Storm and Probable Maximum Storm
When designing a storm water detention facility, both a design storm (DS) and a probable maximum storm (PMS) should be considered. The DS is used to design the facility. The PMS is used...
Scodie Canyon Flash Floods of 1984
This paper describes a unique thunderstorm and flood which occurred in Kern County, California in 1984. It describes the follow-up studies and method of implementation of building restrictions...
Overview o New England Coastal Flood Study Methodology
This paper presents an overview of the development of methologies used to determine the probabilistic flood levels for New England coastal flood insurance studies. The Federal Insurance...
The TENN-V Storm Hydrograph Simulation Model
TENN-V is a computerized, lumped, non-linear stormwater hydrograph simulation model for small unregulated watersheds. The applicability of TENN-V is best established in watersheds of less...
Hydrodynamic Response of an Estuary to Storm Forcing
Previous work on the response/sensitivity of an estuarine hydrodynamic model to the choice of model parameters is extended to include a preliminary consideration of wind-generated waves....
Partial Area, Variable Source, Rainfall Runoff Model Utilizing Digital Mapping
A partial area, variable source hydrologic rainfall/runoff model, called MAPHYD, was developed utilizing digital maps, interactive computer graphics, and several infiltration mechanisms....
Rainfall Analysis for Efficient Detention Ponds
Intensity-duration-frequency analysis of rainfall data is traditionally used for the selection of design storm required to size, storage capacity in detention/retention ponds without consideration...
Nonpoint Pollution First Step in Control: the Magnitude of Improper Waste Discharges Urban Stormwater System
Source Tracing of Toxicants in Storm Drains
Sources of toxic chemicals in storm drains are often difficult to locate and even more difficult to control. Receiving environment chemistry, storm drainage maps, land use information,...
Berm Type Armor Protection for a Runway Extension at Unalaska, Alaska
A proposed runway extension located on the Aleutian islands was designed to withstand forces of Bering Sea storm generated waves using a unique armor protection concept. The proposed runway...
Performance of a Berm Roundhead in the St. George Breakwater System
A new harbor under construction on St. George Island in Alaska's Bering Sea is using the berm breakwater concept for protection from wave attack. Three breakwaters are included...
