Abstract: Academic institutions are under increasing pressure to improve engineering education while faced with decreasing budgets, not unlike the pressure American businesses experience from international competition. Using an ...

Abstract: Many investigators have observed that in mobile sand bed streams, there is a range of flows over which two subcritical depths of flow are possible. This phenomenon is typically attributed to a hysteresis effect in which ...

Abstract: Major reasons for uncertainty in engineering predictions of river flows are the spatial variability and measurement error associated with depicting channel geometry. This paper develops a descriptive spatial stochastic ...

Abstract: The US Army Corps of Engineers has constructed numerous river engineering structures in and along the Middle Mississippi River. River training and bank stabilization measures include pile dikes, stone dikes, bendway weirs, ...

Abstract: Streamflow measurement techniques of the Mississippi River at St. Louis have changed through time (1866–present). In addition to different methods used for discrete streamflow measurements, the density and range of discrete ...

Abstract: The aeration performance with respect to oxygen transfer of a smooth weir, a cobble-faced weir, and a cobble-faced chute was investigated in a large laboratory flume. The maximum difference between upstream and downstream ...
