Environmental Design for Public Projects, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) RANN Program, is relevant today as when it was first published. This book includes public projects such as those providing water, transportation, and energy. Key themes are: (1) civil engineers plan and design large-scale projects that provide the essential infrastructure for society; (2) these projects have evolved in scale and often they dominate human communities and the environment; and (3) the negative impacts of public projects that affect quality-of-life values may be mitigated by integrating the talents of professionals in other disciplines such as architecture, landscape architecture, sociology, welfare economics, ecology, urban planning, law, management, and politics in collaboration with civil engineers. Authors include some 20 professionals from these various disciplines who provided guidelines and examples on how their discipline expertise may be integrated into the outcomes of large-scale public projects. Additionally, 30 other professionals were involved in critiquing the 16 chapters.

The objective of street stormwater drainage design is to warrant efficient and safe traffic movements during the severe storm events. This book is dedicated to the latest developments in: (a) new concepts to analyze the urban catchment hydrology for storm runoff predictions, (b) innovative methods to estimate the street allowable capacities to convey storm runoff, and (c) useful computer models to simulate flow movements in inlets and sewers.• An excellent textbook for senior designs in Civil Engineering • A useful technical book for Public Works and Urban Infrastructure, • Good reviews of street hydraulics for Urban Drainage • Revised Rational Method for urban catchment analysis, • New concepts of street flow modeling with consideration of safety, • Improved methods for street inlet sizing and storm sewer designs, and • Efficient computer programming and models for sewer system flow analyses, and • Excel tools using Excel spreadsheets and workbook approaches.

This book presents new concepts to design urban channels with considerations of multiple land uses and multiple design events such as: Blending urban channels into urban greenbelts and parks for the purposes of recreations and sports. On top of theories and concepts, numerous practical design examples are presented using a systematic approach to integrate multiple purposes to design the waterway and its floodplains.This book also applies the green concept to urban channel designs. All channels to be designed with considerations of wetlands, greenbelts, water-front parks, and recreational open space with bike paths and sport fields. All hydraulic structures across the floodplain need to achieve the hydraulic goals, and also to accommodate recreational purposes such as rafting, kayaking, and wild life habitats. As always, urban channel shall be designed to be the assets to better the urban life, and as the major infrastructure to improves the quality of water environment.This book is an excellent textbook and resource for senior designers in Civil Engineering, Water Resources, Hydraulic and Hydrologic Engineering, and a useful technical reference for water-related projects in Public Works and Urban Infrastructure. Examples are presented with calculation details and procedures using EXCEL Spread Sheet Approach.From the TABLE OF CONTENTSCHAPTER 1 - OPEN-CHANNEL HYDRAULICSFrom the TABLE OF CONTENTSCHAPTER 1 - OPEN-CHANNEL HYDRAULICS- CLASSIFICATION OF CHANNELS- CLASSIFICATION OF CHANNEL FLOWS- SLOPES IN CHANNEL FLOW- CROSS SECTIONAL ELEMENTS- EMPIRICAL FORMULA- ROUGHNESS COEFFICENT- NORMAL FLOWCHAPTER 2 - HYDRAULIC DROP AND JUMP- SPECIFIC ENERGY- SPECIFIC FORCECHAPTER 3 - ENERGY DISSIPATION BASIN- WEIR HYDRAULICS- STILLING POOL- PLUNGING POOLCHAPTER 4 - DROP STRUCTURE FOR GRADE CONTROL- CONCEPT OF PERMISSIBLE VELOCITY- CONCEPT OF PERMISSIBLE FROUDE NUMBER- DESIGN CONSIDERATION- PLUNGING POOL- WATER SURFACE PROFILECHAPTER 5 - CONCRETE CHANNEL- DESIGN CONCERNS IN CONCRETE CHANNEL- HEIGHT OF FREEBOARD- SUPERELEVATION- EFFICIENT CHANNEL SECTIONSCHAPTER 6 - GRASS CHANNEL- GRASS LININGS- MANNING'S ROUGHNESS FOR GRASS LININGS- GRASS CHANNEL DESIGNCHAPTER 7 - RIPRAP CHANNEL- RIPRAP LINING- DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS- STREAM POWER-BASED METHOD- SHEAR STRESS-BASED METHODCHAPTER 8 - FLOOD CHANNEL DESIGN- LOW FLOW CHANNEL- TRICKLE CHANNEL- WETLAND CHANNEL- DESIGN CRITERIA FOR COMPOSITE CHANNEL- CONVEYANCE CAPACITY IN COMPOSITE CHANNELCHAPTER 9 - HIGH GRADIENT CHANNEL- STABILITY OF SUPERCRITICAL FLOW- ROLL WAVESCHAPTER 10 - CULVERT HYDRAULICS- CULVERT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS- CULVERT SIZING- CULVERT HYDRAULICREFERENCES

Applied Modeling in Catchment Hydrolgy came about from the highly successful International Symposium on Rainfall-Runoff Modeling held at Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, Mississippi. More than 25 countries, covering the five continents and most of the countries of the world active in hydrologic research, were represented by highly esteemed and respected professionals in this field. The subject matter encompassed virtually the entire spectrum of rainfall-runoff cycle.This book contains 31 papers in six sections, beginning with development of various catchment models, these papers discuss:• Modeling of catchment hydrology• Evaluation of watershed models• Application of catchment models• Application in urban environment• Application in forest environment• Remote sensing applications
