This manual prescribes guidance for designing hydraulic steel structures (HSS) by load and resistance factor design (LRFD) and guidance for fracture control. Allowable stress design (ASD) guidance is provided as an alternative design procedure or for those structure types where LRFD criteria have yet to be developed. Typical HSS are lock gates, tainter gates, tainter valves, bulkheads and stoplogs, vertical lift gates, components of hydroelectric and pumping plants, and miscellaneous structures such as lock wall accessories, local flood protection gates, and outlet works gates. HSS may be...

This manual provides an introduction to geophysical exploration for engineering, geological, and environmental (to include Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW)) investigations. Descriptions and guidance are provided for the geophysical methods typically used in these investigations. The manual furnishes a broad overview of geophysical applications to common engineering, environmental and geological problems. Descriptions of the most commonly conducted geophysical procedures are given. These contents are not proposed to explicitly develop field procedures and data reduction techniques...

This bibliography on the geographical, water and geological information of Somalia was begun to fill a request for current information on that war torn state. This bibliography brings together selected citations from a variety of different cartographic, geographical, geological and hydrological resources and a number of specialized library collections. Most of the citations have location information on where these items can be located and either used on site, or borrowed through inter-library loan, or where copies of the items can be purchased from the originating source, or through...

Updated through 2006, this bibliography on the water and geological information of Liberia was begun in 1998 as a request through the US Department of State by the Government of Liberia. It brings together selected citations from a variety of different cartographic, geographical, geological and hydrological resources and specialized library collections. Most of the citations have location information on where these items can be located and used on site, and either borrowed through inter-library loan or purchased through a commercial document delivery services.

Military installations must be maintained and managed to provide appropriate training and testing opportunities. As climate changes, natural habitat areas on installations may shift and change the costs to maintain training and testing areas. Habitat is important for: (1) its ability to support training and testing and (2) its capacity to meet Federal requirements regarding the maintenance of listed threatened and endangered species. That capacity can change due to shifts in weather patterns, flooding, drought potential, and annual temperature patterns. With substantial change, species can be...

The objective of this project was to assess the compatibility of small wind turbines ( 100 kW) with Army installations, using Fort Drum, New York, for demonstration. Using one 7.7-kW horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) and one 2.9-kW vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), we planned to measure radar, acoustic and seismic, turbulence, bird and bat, cold, and icing effects. We also intended to indicate if small wind turbines (SWT), in few and large numbers, are compatible with Army installations. A planned product was the Army's first Unified Facilities Criteria, addressing the installation of...

Since the U.S. Department of the Army (through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), U.S. Department of Energy (through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy), and U.S. Department of the Interior (through the Bureau of Reclamation) signed their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Hydropower in 2010, these agencies have endeavored to advance their mutual goals for greater development and utilization of clean, reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable hydropower generation in the U.S. This Action Plan renews the commitments of the three agencies to the 2010 MOU and details the...
