Measuring sediment yields of storms using PSALT
Storm yields of water and sediment are being measured as part of a study of the effects of roading, logging, and burning in a second-growth redwood forest in northern California. Two primary basins, each about 500 ha, and 13 sub-basins in one of them are measured for sediment flux and the presence and magnitude of sediment-based “cumulative effects”. Study objectives require a more sophisticate...
متن کاملPiecewise SALT Sampling for Estimating Suspended Sediment Yields
A probability sampling method called SALT (Selection At List 'Time) has been developed for collecting and summarizing data on delivery of suspended sediment in rivers. It is based on sampling and estimating yield using a suspended-sediment rating curve for high discharges and simple random sampling for low flows. The method gives unbiased estimates of total yield and variance. The technique has...
متن کاملModelling monthly soil losses and sediment yields in Cyprus
The aim of this study was to map soil erosion on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The G2 model, an empirical model for month-time step erosion assessments, was used. Soil losses in Cyprus were mapped at a 100 m cell size, while sediment yields at a sub-basin scale of 0.62 km2 mean size. The results indicated a mean annual erosion rate of 11.75 t ha−1 y−1, with October and November being the ...
متن کامل3 Seismic Activity
The Tucunduba Dam is about 290 km West of Fortaleza, Ceará state. The seismic monitoring of the area, with a local network, has began on June 11, 1997, soon after the occurrence of the event with magnitude 3.2 mb on June 09, 1997. The monitoring was done with one the analogical station (used for magnitude duration measurement and statistical control activity) and seven digital stations. The dig...
متن کاملDesign Philosophy for Steel Structures in Moderate Seismic Regions
The authors propose a design philosophy for steel buildings in moderate seismic regions that draws on familiar concepts of ductility and capacity design, but also integrates the concepts of reserve capacity, elastic flexibility and strength to broaden the field of design possibilities. The paper discusses structural systems representing each of these concepts: Moderate-Ductility Concentrically-...
