Abstract: Constrained funding requires that resources be allocated and used efficiently in order to maximize the safety, utility, and state of good repair of public facilities. During the life cycle of any public facility various ...

Abstract: A time-dependent disaggregate destination choice model for evacuees from a hurricane is developed and tested in this paper. Using data from a survey conducted among South Carolina residents following Hurricane Floyd in ...

Abstract: When a pressure vessel is subjected to internal pressure and is made from a material which exhibits creep, the vessel will expand. If the internal pressure is held constant during expansion, ...

Abstract: Sedimentation in the main pool of a deep (maximum depth:

Abstract: Wind damage to buildings and structures in the United States costs approximately $4 billion a year, mostly to nonengineered buildings. Civil engineers should help identify structural problems (weak links) in these buildings ...

Abstract: Physical processes constituting fine, cohesive sediment transport in estuarial waters are described. These processes, which include settling and deposition, consolidation, erosion and transport in suspension, are typically ...

Abstract: The data on warning diffusion rates over time are generally sparse and are extremely limited for hurricanes. This is a potential problem for transportation analysts who are trying to compute evacuation time estimates for ...

Abstract: Typical engineering applications involving cohesive sediments in tidal water bodies including bays, estuarial navigation channels, small harbor basins, piers, and wharves have been cited. Reference has been made to problems ...
