ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Deep Water Swell and Spectral Wave Decay in Opposing Winds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of the writers' opposing wind laboratory experiments are developed for use in practical wave prediction problems. Relationships are presented for the decay of swell in opposing wind situations. An opposing wind ...
Probability Distribution of Spectral Integrals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A statistical analysis is performed to determine the probability distribution applicable to spectral integrals. This analysis shows that, since the spectrum of a stationary Gaussian random process follows a chi-square ...
Hurricane Wind Waves—A Discrete Spectral Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A predictive model of hurricane wind waves is based on the radiative transfer equation and a directional frequency spectrum description of the sea state throughout the solution field. Propagation, refraction and shoaling ...
Parametric Hurricane Wave Prediction Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A spectral wave model based on a numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation is used to create a synthetic data base on wave conditions within hurricanes. The results indicate that both the velocity of forward ...
