Abstract: A liaison program between a university civil engineering department and civil engineers engaged in professional practice can be used to introduce undergraduate students to real engineering problems. A liaison program at ...

Abstract: The 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe), Japan earthquake provided the world’s first experience with earthquake damage to new long-span bridges designed to 1990s seismic standards. This paper reviews damage and describes techniques ...

Abstract: Recent pipeline experiments performed in Saskatchewan show the existence of a shear layer in which the solids concentration decreases linearly with height. This finding has already been used to calculate the velocity ...

Abstract: When the dimensionless shear stress

Abstract: Analysis demonstrates, and experiments confirm that the frictional behavior of mobile beds at high shear stress is inherently different from either of the two classical cases—smooth wall and rough wall. For those two cases, ...

Abstract: In pipeline transport of slurries, it is desirable that the solid particles should be suspended by the fluid phase. Within the body of the flow, turbulent diffusion promotes suspension, but this mechanism is not effective ...

Abstract: The implications of earthquake loading during balanced cantilever construction of a cable-stayed bridge are examined. Finite-element models of a cable-stayed bridge were developed and multiple ground motion time history ...

Abstract: A simple method of measuring elastohydrodynamic oil film thickness and wear in a ball bearing using only a preloaded bearing and a strain gage is presented. In order to illustrate this method, ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of experiments on particle-water flow over plane-topped stationary beds. The particles used were silica sands having
