This paper discusses procedures for designing ocean outfalls and offers the coastal engineer a practical design guide outlining the necessary steps required to plan, design, and construct an outfall. The design steps reviewed in this paper include site location considerations, environmental studies, outfall and diffuser hydraulics, pipe materials selection, pipe support systems design, and construction techniques.

And Performance

One of the Indiana Department of Transportation's (INDOT's) strategic goals is to improve its pavement design procedures. This goal can be accomplished by fully implementing the 2002 mechanistic–empirical (M-E) pavement design guide (M-E PDG) once it is approved by AASHTO. The release of the M-E PDG software has provided a unique opportunity for INDOT engineers to evaluate, calibrate, and validate the new M-E design process. A continuously reinforced concrete pavement on I-65 was rubblized and overlaid with a 13–in.-thick hot-mix asphalt overlay in 1994. The availability of the structural design, material properties, and climatic and traffic conditions, in addition to the availability of performance data, provided a unique opportunity for comparing the predicted performance of this section using the M-E procedure with the in situ performance; calibration efforts were conducted subsequently. The 1993 design of this pavement section was compared with the 2002 M-E design, and performance was predicted with the same design inputs. In addition, design levels and inputs were varied to achieve the following: ( a) assess the functionality of the M-E PDG software and the feasibility of applying M-E design concepts for structural pavement design of Indiana roadways, ( b) determine the sensitivity of the design parameters and the input levels most critical to the M-E PDG predicted distresses and their impact on the implementation strategy that would be recommended to INDOT, and ( c) evaluate the rubblization technique that was implemented on the I-65 pavement section.

Organization Support

This chapter examines the issue of technological support for inquiring organizations and suggests that the complexity of these organizations is best supported by a technology of equal complexity—that is, by agent technology. Agents and the complex systems in which they are active are ideal for supporting not only the activity of Churchman’s inquirers but also those components necessary to ensure an effective environment. Accordingly, a multiagent system to support inquiring organizations is introduced. By explaining agent technology in simple terms and by defining inquirers and other components as agents working within a multiagent system, this chapter demystifies agent technology, enables researchers to grasp the complexity of inquiring organization support systems, and provides the foundation for inquiring organization support systems design.

Structural Arrangements

Even though a large number of light industrial buildings are constructed each year, various problems occur in design for which either little specific research information is available or existing design procedures are overly conservative. This paper is based on an investigation that has as its aims the collection of research information that might be relevant to the design of this type of structure; the modification (where possible) of this information so that it is directly applicable; and finally the formulation of a design guide specifically for light industrial buildings.The investigation is restricted basically to those problems associated with the design of single-storey buildings of structural steel. Topics covered in this paper include cost studies of different structural arrangements, design procedures for girders and columns in buildings with cantilever roof framing schemes, and design procedures for anchor bolts.
