DYE-2 and DYE-3 — A 30 Year Engineering History
The Tides Effects on the Dam Break Flood Wave
The accuracy of water level predictions downstream of the dam is dependent upon the breach evaluation, the correct estimation of the roughness coefficients and when the flood wave reaches...
Frozen Gravel: A Study of Compaction and Thaw-Settlement Behavior
Weathering of Constituents at Land Treatment Sites
The objectives of this research were to: 1) determine the leachability of metals and organics from soils at hazardous waste land treatment sites; 2) evaluate the mobility of hazardous...
Development of Skewed Element for the Concrete Pavements
In the recent years, highway engineers introduced skewed joints in the concrete pavement with a 4 foot to 5 foot skew on a 24 foot width pavement, which results in only one wheel crossing...

Climatic Data in the Coastal Zone—Our Climate as a Natural Resource
Idealization of Support Conditions of Highway Bridges
Foundation Treatment of Karstic Features Under TVA Dams
TVA has constructed many of its dams on limestone foundations. Some of these foundations have been highly weathered and required special treatment not only to ensure strength but to develop...
Clogging Study of Geotextile with Weathered Mudstone
This paper focuses on the combined use of fly ash and geotextiles as a solution for the typical engineering problem of weathered mudstone slopes encountered in Taiwan. In situ collapsed...
Section One—Embankment Design and Construction in Cold Regions: An Overview
Section Seven—Case Histories in Seasonal Frost Areas
Probabilistic Design of Flexible Pavements
Numerous random phenomena enter into the process of deterioration of pavements under the effect of traffic. It is felt that improvement in current design methods could be obtained by adopting...
Reported Results from 600 Cloud Seeding Projects
The authors conclude that cloud seeding is an effective way of increasing precipitation when applied to the appropriate clouds and climate. Reported results from research projects show...
Colorado River Municipal Water District Weather Modification Program 1971-1986
The Colorado River Municipal Water District (CRMWD) has sponsored a rain enhancement program on summertime convective clouds in West Texas since 1971. Silver iodide is used for cloud base...
Oklahoma Southwest Cooperative Program—An Update
In an effort to meet present and future regional water needs, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and the Texas Water Commission (TWC), the Oklahoma effort has addressed three basic components:...
AgriMet—ET Phones Home—(Adaptation of Satellite Telemetry for Crop Water Use Modeling in the Pacific Northwest)
The development of a regional automatic agricultural weather station network in the Pacific Northwest (AgriMet) is enabling the site-specific calculation of evapotranspiration (ET) through...
Collection, Quality Control and Dissemination of Weather Data for Irrigation and Other Operations in an Automated Setting
High technology has made it possible to completely automate the collection of weather data. Care must be taken in designing the automated system to generalize the software components thereby...
Irrigation Scheduling Using Voice Synthesis, the Next Logical Step
An irrigation management program sponsored by the Raft River Electric Cooperative in Malta, Idaho, provided directly measured soil moisture data to selected irrigators each week during...
The North Dakota Atmospheric Resource Program
For over a third of a century regions of North Dakota have conducted cloud seeding operations aimed at hail damage mitigation or rainfall enhancement. Cloud modification has become an...
