Book Description

Proceedings of the National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering held in San Francisco, California, July 25-30, 1993. This collection contains 400 papers discussing the reduction of humanmade and natural disasters through hydraulic engineering. Topics include: disaster and hazard reduction; wetland and tidal hydraulics; mechanics of debris flows; sediment transport; bridge scour; three-dimensional flow modeling; computational hydraulics; California water issues; and probabilistic approaches to hydraulics. Engineers who are involved with these hydraulic engineering issues will find this proceedings an excellent source of information.
