The Florida Legislature passed a law in 1971 requiring the establishment of coastal construction setback lines on a county basis along the sand beaches of the State of Florida fronting on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida's beach areas (valued in $ billions) are being developed at an accelerated rate, however the coastline is in a general state of serious erosion. These factors combine to make implementation of the above law extremely urgent. The Coastal and Oceanographic Department of the University of Florida has a contract with the Florida Department of Natural Resources to furnish a comprehensive engineering study of the various coastal counties of Florida in order to provide the technical information and make recommendations for the establishment of such setback lines. A typical coastal county study is described. The study included historical data related to shoreline stability, field measurements, computations and evaluation of all pertinent factors. Some factors considered were dune elevations, foreshore-offshore slopes, erosion trends, storm surge, vegetation bluff line, wave setup, uprush, coastal structures and upland development. Analysis of the pertinent factors resulted in formulation of criteria that were applied in recommendation of the setback line. The criteria application is described along with adoption procedures as required by law.

The new 2002 AASHTO guide for the design of pavement structures is based on mechanistic principles and requires the dynamic modulus as input to compute stress, strain, and rutting and cracking damage in flexible pavements. The 2002 AASHTO guide has three different levels of analysis; the level used depends on the importance of the pavement structure in question. Dynamic modulus testing is required for Level 1 pavement analysis, whereas no laboratory test data are required for Level 2 and Level 3 pavement analysis. Instead, a predictive dynamic modulus equation is used to generate input values. It is of significant importance to state agencies to understand how well the dynamic modulus for locally available materials compares with the predicted dynamic modulus. This paper presents the results of a study by the Florida Department of Transportation and the University of Florida that focused on the evaluation of the dynamic modulus predictive equation used in the new AASHTO 2002 guide for mixtures typical to Florida. The resulting research program consisted of dynamic modulus testing of 28 mixtures common to Florida. Results showed that on average the predictive modulus equation used in the new AASHTO 2002 flexible pavement design guide appeared to work well for Florida mixtures when used with a multiplier to account for the uniqueness of local mixtures. Results of the study also identified optimal viscosity–temperature relationships that result in the closest correspondence between measured and predicted dynamic modulus values.

The University

The University of Florida Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering recently created a new senior technical elective in the field of computational fluid dynamics. The main objectives of the class are learning the process of computational fluid dynamics, skepticism, a course project that uses a popular commercial solver, and a course project that involves programming a simplified computational fluid dynamics code. The course covers introductory material, history, grid generation, numerics, equations of motion, boundary conditions, solvers, turbulence models, visualization, and a number of special topics. Skepticism is enforced throughout the course and forces students to justify the validity of their approach and question numerically generated results. Students in the class undertake a course project to predict a fundamental flow-field and compare predictions with excellent measurements from the open literature. They must also create a simplified computational fluid dynamics code to predict turbulent boundary layer flow. Students have integrated these lessons within student groups across the University of Florida. The emphasis of the course is on skepticism and increasing integration with the curriculum and student group activities. We present the class philosophy for teaching undergraduate computational fluid dynamics and the outcomes of the newly developed course.
