Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 bLOSiL ZZLL d ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the external and internal influences on the process of state formation in Oman since 1920 and places this process in comparative perspective with the other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It considers the extent to which the concepts of informal empire and collaboration are useful in analysing the relationship between Oman, Britain and the United States. The theoretical framework is the historical materialist paradigm of International Relations. State formation in Oman since 1920 is examined in a historical narrative structured by three themes: (1) the international context of Western involvement, (2) the development of Western strategic interests in Oman and (3) their economic, social and political impact on Oman.

  • Chapter 11 Preliminary Design and Cost Estimate
    CHAPTER 11 PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND COST ESTIMATE CHAPTER 11 PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND COST ESTIMATE 11.1 DESIGN FLOOD PEAKS, STANDARDS, AND WADI CHARACTERISTICS Problem of flash floods in wadis is the one of the major problems in planning road network in the Sultanate. This section discusses this problem from hydrological viewpoint. 11.1.1 General Floods in Oman are hazardous, and difficult to predict: Mean velocities, sometimes in excess of 5 m/s, and high sediment flowage rates are a feature of torrential wadis. Estimates of flood flow with probable various risks of exceedance are indispensable for a wide range of engineering applications including: • Highway bridge, culvert and dam spillway design. • Assessment of flood risk, including flood zoning/flood risk mapping. • Establishment of flood-resistant design and development of flood alleviation, and protection works. Ministry of Regional Municipalities, Environment & Water Resources (MRMEWR) is responsible for collecting flood data in the Sultanate of Oman, in addition to defining flood features, and providing instructions in specifying national engineering design standards. The Hydromteorological Monitoring Network embraces 138 wadi gauges 325 rainfall stations; including 216 Autographic recorders is presented in Figure 11.1-1. Channel cross section can be utilized and assessed with the historical information such as flood debris marks from major historic floods, and with the slope, to estimate flood peaks. The return period of the flood event which the structure is designed to withstand with full factors of safety is commonly taken as the design standard. In some cases (e.g. large dams) there may be two standards, one which the structure should last without any deterioration, and an advanced standard at which repairable damage is allowed, providing the structure remains basically intact.
