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.

Ski Jump Hydraulics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ski jumps are a major element of each dam spillway because these are the only structures able to accomplish satisfactory energy dissipation for takeoff velocities in excess of some
Discussion of “Computing the Trajectory of Free Jets” by Tony L. Wahl, Kathleen H. Frizell, and Elisabeth A. Cohen

Tsunami Run-up—A Hydraulic Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Closure to “Ski Jump Hydraulics” by Valentin Heller, Willi H. Hager, and Hans-Erwin Minor

Deflector Ski Jump Hydraulics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ski jumps are a standard element of dam spillways for an efficient energy dissipation if takeoff velocities are large, and stilling basins cannot be applied. This laboratory study investigates the hydraulic performance of ...
Impulse Product Parameter in Landslide Generated Impulse Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Subaerial landslide generated impulse waves were investigated in a prismatic wave channel based on Froude similitude and granular slide material. The tests included the following seven governing parameters: still water ...
Geometrical Effects on Landslide-Generated Tsunamis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Landslide-generated tsunami predictions are commonly based on two-dimensional (2D) wave channel or three-dimensional (3D) wave basin experiments with considerably different outcomes. It is not fully understood which idealized ...
