Abstract: Unsteady canal‐simulation model usage requires serious investments of time and personnel. The reasons for deciding to invest in a model, as well as reasons not to invest, are discussed. For most cases, it is better to ...

Abstract: The trend toward larger and larger steamelectric plants, using fuels with high sulfur content, is resulting in increased attention to studies of diffusion of power-plant stack gases in the atmosphere. This article describes ...

Abstract: The focus of this work was to evaluate the use of commercially available matting systems to sustain C-130 and C-17 transport aircraft loads over soil bases having different California bearing ratio (CBR) ranges. Test ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of oceanographic drogue and current meter studies performed in the coastal waters of southern California. The purpose of the study was to evaluate, over diurnal periods, the transport and ...

Abstract: A linear programming approach is used within a simulation model to manage water quality for an urban water supply agency with a blending reservoir and a raw water source of variable quality, the Sacramento–San Joaquin ...

Abstract: Matting systems are used for temporary applications on soft soils to reduce ground pressure exerted by aircraft, heavy equipment, vehicles, and construction material. They have been used for military airfields, construction ...
