This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) demonstrates a means of calculating hydraulic forces acting on submerged surfaces of hydraulic structures. The primary concern in evaluating the hydraulic performance of a structure is whether it can withstand the imposed hydraulic forces. Forces acting on components such as stilling basins, spillway faces, bridge piers, culvert valves, spillway gates, lock guard walls, floodwalls, etc., must be accurately estimated to ensure appropriate ...
Computer simulation of three-dimensional incompressible flow is of interest in many navigation, coastal, and geophysical applications. This report is the fifth in a series of publications that documents research and development on a state-of-the-art computational modeling capability for fully three-dimensional two-phase fluid flows with vessel/ structure interaction in complex geometries. It is primarily concerned with model verification, often defined as solving the equations right. Model verification is a critical step ...
This research report describes the engineering formulation and corresponding software developed for the translational response of rock-founded structural systems to earthquake ground motions. The PC soft-ware Newmark and NewmarkVM are developed to perform an analysis of the permanent sliding displacement response for a structural system founded on rock for a user-specified earthquake acceleration time-history via a Complete Time-History Analysis, also known as the Newmark sliding block method of analysis. The ...
