Abstract: This paper presents the results of finite element computer simulations of vehicular impacts with a roadside crash cushion. DYNA3D is used to model the energy-dissipating response of the Narrow Connecticut Impact Attenuation ...

Abstract: The deposition of iron oxides, metallic copper, and other impurities on boiler tube surfaces causes loss of heat transfer efficiency at electrical power plants. Hence, the tubes are cleaned every 3–5 years in order to ...

Abstract: A modified version of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) long-term planning model, Colorado River Simulation System (CRSS), is used to evaluate whether hydrologic model choice has an impact on critical decision ...

Abstract: This is a companion report to “Mechanics of Overflow Erosion on Embankments. I: Research Activities.” It discusses the hydraulics of water flowing over an embankment which is considered to be the basis for understanding ...

Abstract: Part I of a two‐part report presents model and prototype research studies which have been conducted in the United States and Great Britain to evaluate how embankments for dams, levees, roadways, etc. perform when subjected ...
