Civil Engineering Reports
Permanent URI for this collection
From 1947 to 1996, the Colorado State University Department of Civil Engineering issued reprints of engineering papers, bulletins, and documents as the series Civil Engineering Reports. University faculty and students authored most reports, and the department assigned report numbers in order of acquisition for each year. The series grew to more than 2,000 reports, of which nearly 1,300 are available in this digital collection.
Other CERs may be found in Mountain Scholar - Archives and Special Collections and in the Groundwater Data Collection.

Libraries, 1963-01) Reiter, Elmar R., author; Colorado State University, publisherDuring September 1961 a series of balloon ascents made from Flin Flon, Canada, carrying scintillation counters sensitive to gamma radiation, revealed the existence of shallow stable atmospheric layers carrying radioactive debris, presumably from the Russian test series during the same month. The debris layers encountered on September 14 and 15 have been studied in particular. The debris detected over Flin Flon on September 14, 2221 GCT, at 650 mb had undergone strong sinking motion. One may conclude that it came out of the stratosphere shortly prior to September 13, 12 GCT, entering the troposphere through the stable layer underneath the jet core, sometimes referred to as "jet-stream front". Beginning with September 17 a distinct area of radioactive fallout begins to appear at the surface over the eastern United States. Some of this debris seems to be identical with the one detected over Flin Flon, and it apparently was transported by the same jet stream. Part of the fallout is associated with a small collapsing cold dome travelling ahead of this jet stream.Item Open Access A case study of radioactive fallout(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 1962-12) Sharp, Bruce B., author; Colorado State University, Civil Engineering Department, publisherItem Open Access A geomorphic study of Pools 24, 25, and 26 in the Upper Mississippi and Lower Illinois Rivers(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1975-06) Simons, Daryl B., author; Schumm, S. A., author; Stevens, M. A., author; Chen, Y. H., author; Lagasse, Peter F. (Peter Frederick), 1937, author; Engineering Research Center, Colorado State University, publisherThis report is a study of the past and present geomorphic features of the reach of the Upper Mississippi River which includes Pools 24, 25, and 26 and the lower reach of the Illinois River. In addition, the report presents the anticipated future geomorphic changes that will result from past, present, and planned future developments of these reaches. The study was based primarily on data collected by the Corps of Engineers, aided with a mathematical model of the river system. On the basis of this study of the past geomorphic changes in Pools 24, 25, and 26 and with the mathematical simulation of future river response, it was concluded that 50 years from now the study area will be essentially as it is today. The present day manner of operation does not have any serious detrimental effects on the geomorphology or hydraulics of the river system in the study area.Item Open Access A graphical procedure to estimate potential evapotranspiration by the Peman method(Colorado State University.
