Collapse of Thick Wall Pipe in Ultra Deep Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Literature pertaining to the subject matter is evaluated and discussed. The subject matter is categorized by type of loading: (1) Pure external pressure; (2) pressure plus tension; and (3) pressure plus bending. The subject ... -

Transportation Requirements for High Technology Industrial Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The belief that high technology industries are footloose has led many regional growth strategists and planners to ignore transportation considerations in high tech development. This paper shows that this development has ... -
Development of Color Pavement in Korea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A development of color pavement in Korea is presented. An examination of pavement materials used, preparation of specimen, comparison tests between regular and colored mixture, mixing at asphalt plant, and placing colored ... -
Control Valve Flow Coefficients
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The flow coefficient for a control valve is an important hydraulic parameter that is used to select and design the controls for a closed conduit system. The parameter is used to determine flow capacities, valve positioning, ... -
Wave Load‐Submarine Pipeline‐Seafloor Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Pipeline stresses due to loss of support caused by depressions or scour below submarine pipelines are analyzed. The sea floor on which the pipe is resting is idealized by Winkler medium. Bending in horizontal plane due to ... -
Use of NDT and Pocket Computers in Pavement Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The profile and clearance heights at seven bridges of the New Jersey approach roads to the George Washington Bridge needed upgrading. To do this, nondestructive test (NDT) techniques were carried out on the pavement surfaces ... -
Estimating Fuel Consumption from Engine Size
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Previous studies have demonstrated a useful relationship between fuel consumption and journey speed, vehicle weight, and idling fuel rate under urban driving conditions. The engine displacement has also been found to be ... -
Statistical Analysis of Specification Compliance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)There has been little use of statistical analysis for evaluating the degree to which highway construction materials comply with nonstatistical specification requirements. The increased use of statistics offers potential ... -
Discussion of “<i>Subgrade Contact Pressures Under Rigid Pavements</i>” by Yu T. Chou (May, 1983)

Large Trucks in Urban Areas: A Safety Problem?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The direct safety effects of increasing the number of large trucks in urban areas are explored. A simple theoretical model of the consequences of mixing trucks with cars is presented. The model, supported by recent detailed ... -
Microcomputer Data Management System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The introduction of inexpensive microprocessor‐based computer systems has given county engineers a valuable tool for manipulating, storing, and retrieving timely information. A research project funded by the State of Alabama ... -
Acceptable Walking Distances in Central Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Pedestrian walking distances in a central business district are mostly dependent on the arrival mode in that central business district and the layout of the transportation network on which these modes operate. Changes to ... -
Effects of Vehicles on Buried, High‐Pressure Pipe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The mechanical effects of selected types of traffic on buried, high‐pressure steel pipe are examined. A section of the Colorado Interstate Gas pipeline across Fort Carson's Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, which should be most ... -
Vehicle Pooling in Transit Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The benefits of pooling vehicles among routes that emanate from a common focus terminal are examined. In this strategy, trips are still scheduled, but vehicles are not assigned to specific trips. Instead, vehicles belonging ... -
Improvement of Congestion Detection on Expressways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)This paper develops a method of improving congestion detection in urban motorway traffic surveillance and control systems in Japan. When developing motorway traffic surveillance and control systems, accurate congestion ... -
Mathematical Programming for Highway Project Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The development of a methodology to assist in the evaluation of alternative highway projects is described. The methodology selected is based on a multiple objective decision making approach and uses a goal programming ... -
Flyovers and High Flow Arterial Concept
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The feasibility of the development of high flow urban arterials by means of an integration of flyover technology with signal optimization is examined. Simulation results, using a modified version of the TRANSYT model, are ... -
Transmission Corridor Location Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The location of corridor rights‐of‐way has been approached by a number of investigators dealing with problems of transmission power lines, pipelines, highways, and other transport systems. A commonly used three step approach ...
