Abstract: This research investigated seepage flow through leaky dams using the well known finite-element method. Different areas, locations, and hydraulic conductivities of leaks were examined. An area of leak, equal to 4.4% of the ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis has been developed to predict the critical height and the location of the onset of gas entrainment during discharge from a stratified two-phase region through two ...

Abstract: A technique is developed for the three‐dimensional alignment of a straight line from stations independent of the line itself. If a line is given by two points, no instruments are required to occupy the line. Alignment is ...

Abstract: An approach is developed to determine the area bounded by irregular curves. Points of maximum and minimum deviations from the datum together with points of curvature inflections are determined in the field and offsets to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of current management techniques that are aimed at improving the efficiency and productivity of urban freeways. The major topics that are addressed include capacity management techniques ...

Abstract: An inexpensive and simple technique was developed for the survey of inaccessible objects, in which the image of the target is formed at an accessible location by means of an optical beam splitter. The three dimensions of ...

Abstract: A parametric study of the interaction between dynamic stall and a zero-net mass flux synthetic jet installed on a wing was investigated by identifying the dominant frequencies in the resulting ...

Abstract: Parking garages are among the concrete structures that suffer from corrosion and deterioration due to exposure to deicing salts. The 40-year-old La Chancelière parking garage in Québec (Canada) showed severe corrosion-related ...
