This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River is located in Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake, VA. The existing l25-ft-span Gilmerton Bridges are positioned in the Southern Branch just south of an approximately 90-degree bend in the river. Therefore, inbound (southbound) vessels have very little room to line up with the bridges' fender system. Outbound ships have to turn to port immediately after passing through the bridge span or risk hitting a ship docked at a facility immediately north of the bridges. The navigation study was conducted using the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station Hydraulic Laboratory's ship/tow simulator facility. The objectives of the study were to (a) Evaluate the effects of extending the 40-ft-channel depth improvement to the Newton Creek Turning Basin. (b) Evaluate the 40-ft-channel deepening plan with widening as recommended by the 1989 study, and evaluate the effects of two proposed dock facilities on this channel plan. Each of these facilities will require removal of a channel marker. (c) Evaluate modifications of the Milldam Creek Turning Basin, with consideration to reducing impacts on wetlands and real estate requirements. (d) Evaluate navigation conditions for both ship and barge traffic through the existing 125-ft-wide Gilmerton Bridges and recommend a bridge span width for future construction. (e) Evaluate navigation conditions for barge traffic only through the existing 1 25-ft-wide 1-64 Bridge and recommend a bridge span width for future construction. (MM).

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ship simulation study of St. Johns River, Jacksonville, Florida, included channel reaches from the outer entrance channel at the sea buoy to downtown Jacksonville, approximately 30 nautical miles. The study was performed to determine the effects of deepening the navigation channel from -38 ft msl to 42 ft msl. The proposed dredging would maintain the existing bank lines and bank slopes, extending the existing bank slope down to the deeper channel bottom, effectively reducing the channel width from 24 to 40 ft dependent on the bank slope. The initial plans examined were to deepen the entire channel without any widening and to deepen and widen the entire channeL Preliminary investigations conducted with pilots from the St Johns Pilots Association indicated that the unwidened channel would not seriously impact navigation, except for two away traffic. A third plan was developed that widened and deepened the channel reaches east of the Dames Point Bridge and only deepened the reaches west of the bridge, along with some realignments of reaches both east and west of the bridge. This plan, Plan C, was found to provide generally improved navigation as compared with the existing conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savannah District requested a navigation simulation study of Brunswick Harbor to determine both channel and bend widening requirements throughout the channel based on, primarily, real-time simulator experiments with the design ships, and the best design and placement of the East River turning basin. Navigation conditions (existing and proposed) were conducted using real-time piloted ship simulation experiments. A field data collection verified and adjusted a numerical hydrodynamic model of the tidal currents and the tidal sound and river system; and a hydrodynamic model of the existing and plan conditions was developed and adjusted based on field data. Also, two hydrodynamic models of design ships (a car-carrier for analyzing the South Brunswick Channel leading to the existing Colonels Island car facility, and a bulk carrier for analyzing the East River channel and turning basin) for experimenting due to the different navigation concerns associated with each ship type were developed. Channel deepening in Turtle River above the Brunswick and South Brunswick Rivers junction was not included in the study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A real time ship simulation investigation of the proposed design for deepening and widening the Alafia River Channel and turning basin, Tampa Bay, Florida, was conducted. Existing and proposed channel depths are 30 ft and 41 ft, respectively. The purpose of the study was to determine effects of proposed improvements on navigation with larger design ships and to assist in optimizing channel width and turning basin configuration required to efficiently navigate the study area. A numerical model of the existing channel from Hillsborough Bay Channel Cut C to the harbor area was developed. The model was verified by two members of the Tampa Bay Pilots Association. Numerical models of two plans were also developed. The investigation was conducted in Vicksburg, MS, on the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station ship simulator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A navigation investigation of the proposed channel improvements to Lorain Harbor, Lorain, OH, was conducted. The authorized project called for three bank cuts. The research consisted of a two-phase ship simulation study. The purpose of the ship simulation study was to test the proposed bank cuts and recommend design modifications that would allow safe and efficient use of the channel by the 767-ft vessels currently used in Lorain Harbor. Two retired shipmasters from the USS Great Lakes Fleet (GLF) participated in Phase 1, which was designed as a low-cost study providing a rapid assessment of the proposed design changes and potential project benefits. The Phase 1 testing was conducted with three different channel designs: the existing channel, the authorized project, and a design suggested by a shipmaster who navigates the river. Each numerical model began at the lake approach channel and continued to the upper turning basin. Phase 1 raised questions about the transit time benefits of the study.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A real-time ship simulation investigation of the proposed design for deepening the man-made canal portion of the channel, was conducted. The purpose was to determine if the navigation channel could be deepened from 30 to 35 ft without widening from the existing channel width of 200 ft or if the channel would require widening to 250 ft. A numeric model of the existing ship channel from about channel mile 35 to the Sacramento Harbor was developed. Numeric models of two plan conditions were also developed, one with existing channel deepened to 35 ft and the other with the channel widened by 50 ft and deepened to 35 ft. In both plans the two bends were widened by 50 ft. Tests were run on the WES ship simulator in which six pilots conned the simulation ship through the three simulated channel conditions. (MM).

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Book excerpt: Active geophysical monitoring is an important new method for studying time-evolving structures and states in the tectonically active Earth's lithosphere. It is based on repeated time-lapse observations and interpretation of rock-induced changes in geophysical fields periodically excited by controlled sources. In this book, the results of strategic systematic development and the application of new technologies for active geophysical monitoring are presented. The authors demonstrate that active monitoring may drastically change solid Earth geophysics, through the acquisition of substantially new information, based on high accuracy and real-time observations. Active monitoring also provides new means for disaster mitigation, in conjunction with substantial international and interdisciplinary cooperation.
