1-D Consolidation of Periodically Layered Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A convenient and computationally efficient technique for analyzing the one-dimensional consolidation of periodically layered deposits is developed. This technique involves the use of a Laplace transform and an analytic ... -
1. Field and Laboratory Studies of Acid Sulfate Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Drains are introduced into acid sulfate (AS) soils grown to sugar cane to prevent waterlogging and drain runoff water. Drains have the potential to promote deleterious reactions and facilitate the transport of the resulting ... -
1/8 Factorial Study of Metal Effects on Acid Neutralization by Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The acid neutralization capacity of a cement/waste product is important because the integrity of the monolithic matrix and contaminant precipitation are dependent on the maintenance of alkaline conditions. A 1/8 fractional ... -

100-mm-Diameter Mold Used with Superpave Gyratory Compactor
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Due to increasing traffic levels and vehicle wheel loads, it has become necessary to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the design of hot mix asphalt (HMA). The Superior Performing Asphalt Pavement (Superpave) mix ... -
100-Ton (890 kN) Rock Anchor Pullout Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The paper recounts the writers’ experience in conducting an 890 kN (100 t) rock bolt pullout test, which was done to confirm the data for the design of the foundation to support a 54.860 m (180 ft) tall steel lattice ... -
100-Year Performance of Timber–Concrete Composite Bridges in the United States
(ASCE, 2020)The use of timber–concrete composite (TCC) bridges in the United States dates back to approximately 1924 when the first bridge was constructed. Since then a large number of bridges have been built, of which more than 1,400 ... -
108‐In. Diameter Steel Water Conduit Failure and Assessment of AWWA Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The paper describes failures, their investigations, and repair of a 108‐in. diameter buried steel water conduit. Several circumferential breaks occurred in bells in presence of longitudinal temperature stresses, numerous ... -

11th Peck Lecture: Predesign Geotechnical Investigation for the OII Superfund Site Landfill
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The predesign geotechnical investigation for closure of the Operating Industries, Inc. (OII) Superfund site landfill significantly advanced the state of the art for solid waste landfill engineering. Contributions to solid ... -
1852–2002: 150 Years of Civil Engineering in the United States of America
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)On the 150th anniversary of the founding of the American Society of Civil Engineers it is important to review the growth of the profession and the country it serves. This paper introduces the major projects and people who ... -
1864 Moseley Wrought-Iron Arch Bridge: Its Rehabilitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The rehabilitation of a Moseley wrought-iron arch is described along with a history of the development of the arch and its builder. The bridge, originally built in 1864 over the North Canal in Lawrence, Mass., is the last ... -
1869 Whipple Bridge Back across Enlarged Erie Canal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Cast and wrought-iron bridges across the Enlarged Erie Canal built by Squire Whipple, or to his 1841 patent, were commonplace in the period of the early 1840s up to the opening of the New York State Barge Canal in the ... -
1907 Static Liquefaction Flow Failure of the North Dike of Wachusett Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A static liquefaction flow failure occurred in the upstream slope of the North Dike of Wachusett Dam near Clinton, Massachusetts on April 11, 1907 during the first reservoir filling. The fine sands of the upstream dike ... -
1923 Gleno Dam Break: Case Study and Numerical Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)On the morning of December 1, 1923, the Gleno Dam (located in the Central Italian Alps) suddenly collapsed a few days after the first complete reservoir filling. Nearly -
1935 Sella Zerbino Dam-Break Case Revisited: A New Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The Bric Zerbino and Sella Zerbino barrages dammed two branches of the Orba Valley in Italy to create the Ortiglieto reservoir and supply the Molare hydropower plant. The secondary dam, the Sella Zerbino, was erected over ... -
1973 NRC Design Spectrum
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The 1973 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) design response spectra have been used extensively in the seismic design of nuclear power plants and equipment. The question which has frequently been raised is whether the NRC ... -
1976 Montreal Olympics: Case Study of Project Management Failure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)A successful engineering project must include its timely and economic completion. A project management failure can lead to delays and cost overruns. One example of a project that greatly exceeded its projected budget is ... -
