Evaluation of Changing Characteristics of Temporal Rainfall Distribution within 24-Hour Duration Storms and Their Influences on Peak Discharges: Case Study of Asheville, North Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design storms are used for the sizing of urban drainage systems and for delineating floodplains. Recorded rainfall extremes are commonly used to develop design storms with the assumption of stationarity. However, the ...
Approach to Digital Elevation Model Correction by Improving Channel Conveyance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Digital elevation models (DEM) are important inputs for topography in modeling floods for remote and inaccessible regions. DEMs often lack in accuracy near water bodies and rivers. The objective of this research is to ...
Reliability Assessment of Computational River Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Application of numerical flood models in hydraulic engineering, loss and risk analysis, and urban policy making has increased significantly in recent years. While those models are widely being used, verification of underlying ...
