The Red River, which separates Grand Forks, North Dakota, from East Grand Forks, Minnesota,floods its banks in the spring or early summer as a result of spring rains and snow melt. To assess thestability of Red River slopes and to evaluate alternative flood control measures, the St. Paul District of theUnited States Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Grand Forks have conducted detailed subsurface investigationsand field observations, including sampling and laboratory testing, and field measurements ofgroundwater levels and ground movements. Slope stability analyses were carried out for six locations toevaluate the residual shear strength mobilized for reactivated and first-time slope movements. The backcalculatedresidual friction angles for the Lake Agassiz Brenna clay, with a liquidity index in the range of 0.3to 0.6, are consistent with those from laboratory tests, and from empirical correlations for stiff clays andshales.

ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ROCK MASSES AND THEIR EVALUATION BY SPATIAL ANALYSES, DETERMINATION OF THE ROCK SLOPE FAILURE SUSCEPTIBILITY ZONES AND HAZARD ASSESSMENT OF MUDURNU (BOLU)
Arslan Kelam, Arzu; Akgün, Haluk; Bobet, Antonio; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-7-20)
Mudurnu County, which is settled in a valley, is affected by regional rock slope instabilities especially due to precipitation, temperature changes, wind and earthquake activity. While units located on the eastern side of the valley are susceptible to rock falls, units at the western side are susceptible to planar, wedge or toppling failures. The presence of different rock mass properties makes Mudurnu an attractive and distinctive site for the investigation of rock mass failure. The rock slope failures ten...
Estimation of seasonal runoff using remote sensing satellite data
Sorman, AU; Saydam, C (1997-05-03)
Snow hydrology has been a relatively less investigated part of the hydrologic cycle. In the last two decades there has been a growing interest and scientific research to study the role of melting snow fbr the estimation of runoff mainly contributing to the storage in large reservoirs and to make the procedure operational on a real time basis. The paper describes a project related to satellite snow cover mapping and snowmelt runoff computations, which is currently carried out in eastern Turkey.
Simulation of water quality during unsteady flow in the Chicago Waterway System
Melchıng, Charles; Alp, Emre; Sherasta, Ram; Lanyon, Rıchard (null; 2004-01-01)
The Chicago Waterway System (CWS) is composed of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC), Calumet-Sag Channel, North Shore Channel, lower portion of the North Branch Chicago River, South Branch Chicago River, Chicago River, and Little Calumet River. In total, the CWS is a 76.3 mi (122.8-km) branching network of navigable waterways controlled by hydraulic structures in which the majority of flow is treated sewage effluent. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) will soon b...
Decadal changes in size, salinity, waterbirds, and fish in lakes of the Konya Closed Basin, Turkey, associated with climate change and increasing water abstraction for agriculture
Yilmaz, Gultekin; Colak, Mehmet Arda; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; Metin, Melisa; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Ertugrul, Serhat; Soyluer, Melisa; Bucak, Tuba; Tavsanoglu, U. Nihan; Özkan, Korhan; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik (2021-08-09)
The Konya Closed Basin (KCB) in Turkey has a cold semiarid to warm Mediterranean climate and hosts the largest Turkish freshwater lake, Lake Beysehir, and the iconic saline Lake Tuz. Using published as well as our own ground-truth and remote sensing data, we provide (1) a brief description of the paleoenvironmental changes in the KCB; followed by (2) a detailed description of the changes in land use, crop farming, groundwater and surface water levels, and climate; and (3) associated changes in lake water su...
Field testing and evaluation of the Ironton-Russell truss bridge
Lenett, Michael; Hunt, Victor; Helmicki, Arthur; Türer, Ahmet (2004-12-01)
The Ironton-Russell truss bridge spanning the Ohio River between the cities of Ironton, Ohio and Russell, Kentucky was opened to traffic in April 1922. Although this bridge spans the Ohio River between Ohio and Kentucky, it is owned and operated by the state of Ohio and is considered a landmark by both the residents of Ironton and Russell. The main spans of this truss consist of a 3-span cantilever through truss, with a suspended truss in the center span, and a simple span through truss. Visual inspections ...
