Java applets are developed to assist in the learning of basic structural analysis concepts. In order for these programs to be easily available over the Internet, they are written in the object-oriented Java programming ...

In this study, two hydrologic models were applied to the mountainous Back Creek catchment, located in the headwaters of the Roanoke River in Southwest Virginia. The two models employed were HEC-1, an event based lumped ...

A three-dimensional, nonlinear dynamic analysis is conducted on a fully submerged, rigid, solid cylinder to be used as a breakwater. The breakwater could potentially be used as a single cylinder to protect small ...

This study investigates four aspects associated with steel joist supported wood floor systems: 1) acceptability, 2) prediction of deflection, 3) prediction of frequency, and 4) effects of diagonal bracing. Six full scale ...

Two critical components of the United States civil infrastructure, bridges and roads, have deteriorated in the past two decades at an accelerated rate and are in need of maintenance and rehabilitation. Geosynthetics may ...

For oblique and normal water waves at various frequencies, the use of moored cylinders as breakwaters is considered numerically using linear three-dimensional analysis. The breakwater can be used by itself for protection ...

Approximately fifty percent of the bridges in the United States are considered deficient. The deterioration of the concrete components is a leading cause of the problem. The deterioration of concrete bridge decks is due ...

With a growing concern for the environment and increasing urbanization of rural areas, understanding the characteristics of urban non-point source pollution has become a focus for water quality investigators. Once thought ...

Current procedures for estimating effective length factors for web-tapered members rely heavily on the use of charts and graphs. This makes them difficult to implement using a computer. In addition, they are often based ...

Strategic procurement items, including complex engineered equipment and systems essential for project performance, are frequently designed, manufactured, and delivered by suppliers who are outside the circle of cooperation ...
