Abstract: Historical floods on the Delaware River were analyzed using 15-, 25-, and 50-year-long records to determine whether floods in recent years are worse than those in previous periods. The 111-year-long record of annual maximum ...

Abstract: An analysis method is presented to study the shoaling patterns in enclosed or semi-enclosed water bodies. The area of water body below a given depth is plotted as a function of depth. A comparison of two such curves plotted ...

Abstract: An analysis procedure relating maximum daily wind gusts to mean daily wind speed is presented. A gust factor,

Abstract: The economics of using coastal structures to retain sand on a beach in conjunction with beach nourishment is presented. As the cost of suitable beach sand increases it becomes more economical to include structures in a ...

Abstract: The longshore transport environment at a coastal site is represented in terms of six parameters. The total population of longshore transport‐rate observations at a site is separated into two populations, positive transport ...

Abstract: The mathematics of filling and draining a permeable geotextile bag were developed in a previous investigation of how large geotextile containers can be used to dewater dredged material and mine tailings. The resulting ...

Abstract: A Leica System 5000 dual frequency global positioning system receiver System 500 rover operating from a fixed base station was mounted in a drogue made from a

Abstract: We document the development and application of a one-dimensional flow model of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal based on the dynamic form of the St. Venant equations. Model geometry is based on hydrographic surveys obtained ...
