Survey of Risk Management in Major U.K. Companies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk management consists of five stages, which are essential to the success of a major project. These five stages are identification, analysis, evaluation, response, and monitoring. The variations in using such risk ...
Hydraulic Performance of Low-Crested and Emergent Breakwaters with Ecologically Designed Armor Units
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Eco-friendly armor units and coastal structures provide a sustainable alternative to traditional design by incorporating eco-enhancing aspects into the design process to enhance biodiversity in their vicinity. ECOncrete’s ...
Two-Dimensional Computational and Physical Modeling of High-Speed Oil Spill Containment Booms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The main measure of response to aquatic oil spills is the mechanical containment and recovery from the water surface. The majority of containment booms are not effective when the relative current/tow speed exceeds approximately ...
Wave Interactions with <i>Spartina alterniflora</i> on a Living Dyke Model: New Insights into the Use of Scaled Surrogate Meadows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Physical modeling presents a useful tool for investigating the coastal protection function provided by marsh vegetation in a controlled, repeatable environment to inform the design of nature-based coastal protection ...
