A survey of the problems encountered in flood control and drainage engineering. Among the topics studied are: estimation of design flood; flood routing through reservoirs and channels; design of spillways; and flood mitigation through planning of reservoir capacities and operation of reservoirs.
This engineering manual (EM) provides guidance for the structural design of closure structures for openings in levees and floodwalls of inland local flood protection projects (LFPPs). Design requirements for aluminum and steel stoplog closure structures and steel swing, miter, trolley, and rolling gate closure structures for openings in levees and floodwalls of LFPPs are addressed. This guidance provides a framework for incorporating the required elements of design execution into the design proc...

New Orleans Hurricanes from the Start
by David Bastian and Nicholas Meis
Rising Waters
by Samuel D Brody, Wesley E Highfield, and Jung Eun Kang
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of New Orleans in 2005, this interdisciplinary book brings together five years of empirical research funded by the National Science Foundation. It explores the causes of flooding in the United States and the ways in which local communities can reduce the associated human casualties and property damage. Focussing on Texas and Florida, the authors investigate factors other than rainfall that determine the degree of flooding, and consider the key ro...
Modelling of Flood Propagation Over Initially Dry Areas
This proceedings, ""Modelling of Flood Propagation Over Initially Dry Area"", contains papers presented at the Specialty conference co-sponsored by ASCE-CNR/GNDCI-ENEL spa and held in Milan, Italy, June 29 - July 1, 1994. The goal of the conference was to establish the state of the art in mathematical modelling of flood propagation over initially dry areas. The need for reliable evaluation tools of flood risk potential is paramount both in developed and developing countries. Developed areas need...
Flood Risk Management
Responsibility for flood risk management in the United States is a shared responsibility between multiple Federal, State, and local government agencies with a complex set of programs and authorities. Nationally, both the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have programs to assist states and communities in reducing flood damages and promoting sound flood risk management. The authority to determine how land is used in floodplains and to enforce flo...
Infrastructure Computer Vision
by Ioannis Brilakis and Carl Thomas Michael Haas
Infrastructure Computer Vision delves into this field of computer science that works on enabling computers to see, identify, process images and provide appropriate output in the same way that human vision does. However, implementing these advanced information and sensing technologies is difficult for many engineers. This book provides civil engineers with the technical detail of this advanced technology and how to apply it to their individual projects.
