Residential Water Conservation in Australia and California
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In much of the western United States, reducing residential water use is a major source of water conservation, especially as population growth urbanizes agricultural land. Although estimates of the potential of conservation ...
State Programs to Control Municipal Sludge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: State controls on the disposal and utilization of municipal wastewater treatment sludge are cataloged and analyzed. Data gathered through reviews of documented state regulations and guidelines, and supplemented by contacts ...
Wind-forced Motion on the Northern Great Barrier Reef
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of current, bottom pressure, and wind from the shelf of the Northern Great Barrier Reefare interpreted using a two-layer, frictional, step-shelf model forced by propagating wind stress. Distinguishing features ...
Resource‐Oriented Modeling and Simulation in Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In modeling for simulation, the proper representation of crucial real‐world variables is of prime importance. This paper describes the creation of a model that allows simulation of the construction process to be conducted ...
Experimental Validation of Piezoelectric Energy-Harvesting Device for Built Infrastructure Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Vibration energy-harvesting devices are increasingly becoming more efficient and useful. The performance of such devices for energy harvesting from vibrations of civil infrastructure can be theoretically quantified, and ...
Coastal-Trapped Waves on the West Coast of South Island, New Zealand
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The coastal ocean response to wind forcing on the west coast continental shelf of South Island, New Zealand is examined using current, sea level and wind observations. Weather band motions over the northern region of the ...
Horizontal Loading Effects of Fresh Concrete on Precast Arches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the horizontal effect of fresh concrete on precast arches. A number of different models of horizontal pressure of fresh concrete are considered in this regard. The effects of fresh concrete on a ...
