RISChaotic Advection and Enhanced Groundwater Remediation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The field of groundwater remediation needs cost effective and time efficient technologies. Recent developments in the field of chaotic advection in low Reynolds number flows have led to the belief that a system of wells ...
Fuzzy Rule-Based Hydrologic Models for Performance Assessment of Nuclear Waste Disposal Sites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper we describe an approach that is based on fuzzy logic (FL) to solve the groundwater flow equation in the presence of uncertain parameters. An appropriate set of fuzzy rules was developed to represent groundwater ...
A Fragility-Weighted Topological Network for Resilient Assessment of Overhead Power Distribution System Subjected to Hurricane Winds
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Extreme weather events with an increased frequency have caused widespread damages to overhead power distribution systems (OPDS), an essential lifeline infrastructure, resulting in enormous societal and economic losses for ...
Bayesian Decision Network–Based Optimal Selection of Hardening Strategies for Power Distribution Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Power distribution systems, composed of wood poles and wires, are susceptible to damage caused by strong winds during hurricanes or winter storms. Power outages induced by failed poles result in millions of revenue and ...
Physics-Based Reliability Assessment of Community-Based Power Distribution System Using Synthetic Hurricanes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Power distribution systems are very vulnerable during hurricane events. Failure of power distribution systems could bring significant disruptions to the community’s daily activities. Sparse historical hurricane data are ...
