Planning Education: Let's Forget It for Civil Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Civil engineers interact with planners at various levels and should, arguably, have some formal training in that discipline. The arguments against such formal training are: (1) Today's civil engineering students are regularly ... -
Closure to “<i>Erosion Risk Analysis for Southwestern Arroyo</i>” by Peter F. Lagasse, James D. Schall, and Mark Peterson (November, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987) -
Park‐and‐Ride: Alive, Well, and Expanding in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)Park‐and‐ride lots originated in the 1930s as a means for increasing transit ridership. In spite of the increasing availability of automobiles, interest in park‐and‐ride has grown steadily as city and federal transportation ... -
Importance of Planning Education for Civil Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The interface between civil engineering and urban planning is deep‐rooted and multifaceted. The two professions have and are involved in making possible the modern city. The scope of planning, the increasing societal ... -
Teaching Planners about Infrastructures A Call to Civil Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)More than 40% of the more than 20,000 planners in the United States influence the manner in which water, sewer, drainage, streets, and other kinds of physical infrastructure are planned and used. But to what extent are ... -
Regional Water Supply Development in South Sweden
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The history of the regional water supply system in southernmost Sweden is examined from the perspective of regional public‐works planning and planning under uncertainty. In this case, a history of successful regional water ... -
Teaching Civil Engineers about Planning: The View from Planning Educators
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A recent study in this journal reported that, while civil engineering and planning concerns often overlap and that there is a role for civil engineers in planning related issues, there was no need for civil engineering to ... -
Design and Construction of Dade County METROMOVER
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The background, funding, design features and system characteristics of the Dade County METROMOVER system, the first automated guideway transit system in a U.S. downtown environment, are described. Design features include ... -
Computer‐Assisted Procedure for Subdivision Cost Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The Residential Area Cost Analysis Model (RACAM)—a computer model designed to calculate the construction, operation and maintenance costs of alternative residential subdivision designs—is presented. A procedure for preliminary ... -

Visual Impact Assessment in Benefit Cost Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Civil engineering projects generally change the visual environment. Complete benefit cost analysis (BCA) should include the visual costs and benefits, which tend to be nonpriced. Methods are available for measuring the ... -
Economic Evaluation of Urban Water Supply Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)An economic evaluation procedure is presented for comparing alternative urban water management plans. The procedure provides a flexible general framework for analyzing the interactions between water supply, emergency ... -
Second Units and Housing Crisis in California
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)California is undergoing massive population growth. Accompanying this growth is a need for affordable housing. Unfortunately, housing costs are still out of reach for many Californians. To these people, the American dream ... -
Estimating Recreational Travel and Economic Values of State Parks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Recreational travel—unlike work trips—is highly discretionary; it is also highly sensitive to the location and attractiveness of a recreational facility. Estimating visitations to state parks therefore requires a demand ... -
Multiobjective Analysis of Public School Consolidation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The decline of birth rates in the United States during the 1960's and 1970's has lead to subsequent declines in the enrollment of students in public schools during the 1980's. In response, many public school systems have ... -
Evolution of Planning Theory and Practice: Engineering Implications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Planning theory and practice has evolved from a concern with “scientific efficiency” in the mid‐1800s to a recent emphasis on rationalized decision‐making. The period between has seen a continuing shift in focus including ... -
Governmental Consideration of Large Developments in Urban Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Governmental review of a large development in an urban area requires consideration of the unique circumstances of the development and its effect on the community. The city of Seattle evaluated the economic and social ... -
Erosion Risk Analysis for a Southwestern Arroyo
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)A procedure is outlined for establishing a flooding and erosion buffer zone along an arroyo. The approach is applicable in general to ephemeral stream systems of the Southwest, while the hydrologically based definition of ... -
Use of Vegetation for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The high cost of conventional highway noise abatement methodology (i.e., free‐standing walls) has made mitigation of many impacted sites economically infeasible. A solution that may prove more economically reasonable for ... -
Research Needs for Infrastructure Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The infrastructure problem receiving so much national attention requires research to solve important policy problems at all three levels of government. Research needs for infrastructure are presented for five problem‐solving ...
