The Impact

The Summer Enrichment Program at the Davis campus of the University of California is an academic and orientation program which is directed toward aiding low-income and minority students in making the transition to the college curriculum. Participants in the program are high-potential students who are admitted to the University via waivers of standard requirements. An evaluation of the program is described in which analysis of covariance is used to focus on the impact of the program on college academic work. The integration of this statistical study into the decision making process of an evaluation task force is also described.

Stress Analyses

The breached levee system at the 17th Street Canal has been independently studied by conducting total and effective stress analyses. Performance of the levee system during the hurricane duration was investigated with special attention focused on the formation of a gap between the levee fills and the floodwall, and on the localized shear strain in the lacustrine clay layer. In contrast to the total stress analyses conducted by the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force (IPET) and the Independent Levee Investigation Team (ILIT), the effective stress analysis presented in this paper considered the soil – pore water interaction, and demonstrated evidences of initiation and mobilization of the localized shear strain.
