Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While oriented strandboard (OSB) is increasingly accepted as a structural building product, its application in stressed skin panels (SSP) is limited because of a lack of engineering data for short- and long-term flexural behaviour. In 1986/87, 24 SSPs were constructed, six with flanges of Douglas-fir plywood, six with flanges of Canadian softwood plywood (CSP), and 12 with flanges of OSB. Half were tested for short-term (elastic) behaviour and the other half for long-term (creep) behaviour. Long-term creep testing was begun in February 1987 and continued through to 1989/90. This report presents the results of the 1989/90 testing, which continued measuring and recording test data for deflection, relative humidity, and temperature on the three types of panels; established model predictions for each type of load duration set up for each type of SSP; compared prediction and experimental results using accepted analytical methods and indicated whether the models can be used for accurate prediction of time dependent properties of the different SSPs; determined the value of model parameters that can be related to mechanical properties of SSPs and compared those results to those of other jurisdictions; and indicated the practical significance of the results for house performance.
