      <title>FERRY AND CRUISE SPECIAL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/402082</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Eight articles comprise this feature issue titled "Ferry & Cruise Special." "Baltic Ferries" highlights technical achievements of the past decade in ferry design. "Gracious Twins: AMORELLA and ISABELLA" describes the design process, ship characteristics and model test results for two vessels with semitunnel hull configurations. "Dutch Double-Enders: No Double Dutch" discusses tests performed to help optimize the design and operation of a Dutch ferry design. "How to Decide on the Direction of Rotation of Controllable Pitch Propellers for Twin-Screw Vessels" concludes that in almost all cases, such propellers should rotate in an outward direction to improve propulsion and vibration performance.  "Swimming Pools on Cruise Liners" discusses the effect of pools on ship stability and the avoidance of problems through proper design.  "Statistics Used for Prediction of Propulsive Power" describes a statistical method, based on random model tests and developed by Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), for the prediction of propulsive power. "Seakeeping of Cruise Liners and Ferries" explains how model tests are used to study ferry and cruise ship designs in relation to their ability to sustain sea speed, their ride quality (for passenger comfort), and their behavior in severe seaways under extreme conditions. Lastly, "Computer Simulation for Cruise Ships and Ferries" discusses the simulator training programs that are conducted at MARIN and that help to prevent losses.]]></description>

      <title>ENERGY USE IN THE CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. APPENDIX A. STUDY METHODOLOGY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30464</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report contains data describing the activity of the contract construction industry expressed in terms of the dollar value of construction. A prime requirement of the methodology employed was the development of a traceable relationship between the dollar value of construction activity and the type of construction, geographical area of construction, and the energy consumed during construction. The basic methodology used to estimate fuel and energy use for representative construction projects involved the following: postulating representative construction projects of at least three sizes for each division of the industry; identifying energy-consuming equipment required for each project and determining fuel and energy consumption rates for each equipment type; estimating hours of operation for each type of equipment; and estimating fuel and energy use for each project by combining the results of the above two steps. Portions of this document are not fully legible.]]></description>

      <title>ENERGY USE IN THE CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30466</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report is an analysis of energy use in the contract construction industry compiled to determine the amount of energy used and the potential impact that national energy shortages would have on the industry. Analysis includes building construction, heavy construction, and special trades. The overview is composed of a discussion of the industry structure, energy use, intraindustry variations, energy supply, and substitutability and conservation of fuels. Contractors in the following industries are analyzed: Single-family housing; residential building; industrial building; nonresidential construction; highway and street; bridge, tunnel, and elevated-highway; waterworks, sewer, pipeline, communication line, and power line; heavy construction, swimming pool and fence; and special trades.]]></description>
