Guide specifications for bridges vulnerable to coastal storms. by Kulicki, J. M.(CARDINAL)315750; Mertz, D. R.(Dennis R.)(CARDINAL)315749; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures.(CARDINAL)308816;
Includes bibliographical references (page 55).This document contains comprehensive specifications for the design of bridges vulnerable to coastal storms. This guideline embodies new concepts not included in previous design provisions. The methods for calculating wave forces on superstructures are based primarily on numerical simulation of the state of pressure, velocity, and acceleration within the water as a wave passes under or over bridge cross sections. Coefficients needed for the numerical simulation process, known as the Physics Based Method (PBM), were developed through physical wave tank tests. Bridge failures due to storm surge and wave loading in Gulf Coast states during recent years provided limited field data that was used to further verify these methods. Also included are current-induced forces guidelines that were the results of recent research conducted at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.Prepared for the FHWA under the pooled fund contract DTHF61- 06-T-7006 for the "Development of Guide Specifications for Bridges Vulnerable to Coastal Storms and Handbook of Retrofit Options for Bridges Vulnerable to Coastal Storms." Sponsored by ten states and the FHWA, the project was contracted to the private firm Modjeski and Masters, Inc., with subconsultants Moffatt and Nichol, Inc., Ocean Engineering Associates, Inc., D'Appolonia, Inc., and Dr. Dennis R. Mertz. Dr. John M. Kulicki was the principal investigator for Modjeski and Masters, Inc.

Birds vs. blades? : offshore wind power and the race to protect seabirds / by Hirsch, Rebecca E.,author.(CARDINAL)351519;
Includes bibliographical references and index.An ocean mystery -- Into the fog -- Wind, waves, and weather -- Chasing seabirds -- Riding the wind -- Between sky and sea.Junior Library GuildOn a rainy March evening, three scientists climb aboard a small boat and head out onto the Chesapeake Bay. Their mission: to sneak up on seabirds sleeping on the water's surface, safely capture them, and bring them to shore so a team of veterinarians can implant high-tech tags and track them. Why? Because wind farms are coming to the Atlantic Ocean, creating much-needed renewable energy. Yet the Atlantic coast is also a migration corridor for millions of birds that are an essential part of the ocean food chain.Ages 7-11.Grades 2-6.960LAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated ReaderA Junior Library Guild selection (JLG)

Waves and beaches : the powerful dynamics of sea and coast / by Bascom, Willard,author.(CARDINAL)507301; McCoy, Kim,author.(CARDINAL)870439;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Genesis of land, water, and waves -- Ideal waves -- Wind waves -- Waves in shallow water -- Tides and seiches -- Impulsively generated waves -- Measuring and making waves -- The surf -- Beaches : where the surf meets the sediment -- The conveyor belt of sand -- Man against the sea -- Epilogue.First published in 1963 and updated in 1979, this classic was an essential handbook for anyone who studies, surfs, protects, or is fascinated by the ocean. The original author, Willard Bascom, was a master of the subject and included a wealth of information, based on theory and statistics, but also anecdotal observation and personal experience. It brought to the general public understanding of the awesome and complex power of the waves. This revision from Kim McCoy adds recent facts and anecdotes to update the book's relevance in the time of climate change. One of the most significant effects of global warming will be sea-level rise. What will this mean to waves and beaches, and what effects are we already seeing? New text and photos cover events such as the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina flooding of 2005, and the 2011 earthquake and resulting devastation in Fukishima.
