ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank those individuals who helped make this study successful. Specifically, I would like to thank Professor Chang, whose previous work and insight into this field lent significant guidance that proved invaluable, the U.S. Navy and Civil Engineer Corps for giving me the opportunity to attend Purdue University, and LT Dude Underwood for his insight, friendship, and camaraderie that made the experience memorable. Finally, I would like to extend the most sincere thanks to my wife, Jessica, whose patience, love, and support throughout my career has been unfailing, and to my two year old daughter Sophia, whose hugs and words of "Daddy, you're going to school. Ok, I love you, goodbye." brought a smile to my face every time.
