Abstract: As designers, engineers provide the basis for the life-cycle quality of constructed facilities and serve as uniquely qualified master builders. For effective performance among the life-cycle stages, it is necessary to ...

Abstract: Data collected in this study demonstrate that fecal bacteria counts in urban tributaries were much higher in sewered basins than in nonsewered basins; fecal bacteria densities were related to the density of housing, ...

Abstract: In order to improve the dynamic performance of a cam mechanism, it is desired to have a method that does not require a trial-and-error procedure based on total system re-analysis or re-synthesis. ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development of a software-aided approach to best management practice (BMP) selection. Supported with input from a geographic information system (GIS), this software provides an algorithmic, ...

Abstract: Three dimensional surface signatures were calculated from radial profile measurements of two lapped specimens, two ground specimens and a milled specimen. These signatures are polar autocorrelation ...

Abstract: Dwindling sources of traditional aggregates, ever increasing haulage distance, and diminishing landfills are the primary factors that favor the reuse of construction-quality waste materials in highway pavements. Although ...

Abstract: This paper describes a computer program for economically predicting the dynamic response of marine risers to lateral forces from waves (regular and random) and currents (vortex shedding). Present ...

Abstract: Engineers and planners responsible for the selection and design of storm-water best management practices (BMPs) face a formidable array of practices and techniques for managing the quality of urban runoff. Primary factors ...
