RISMultimodel Approach Using Neural Networks and Symbolic Regression to Combine the Estimated Discharges of Rainfall-Runoff Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Dimensions of Wastewater System Recovery Following Major Disruptions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Following a major disaster or disruption, the restoration of infrastructure function is often tracked over time. For a more detailed understanding of the recovery process, this paper separates wastewater recovery into ...
Hydrodynamic Forces Generated on a Spherical Sediment Particle during Entrainment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this research is to study the relationship between the coherent flow structures and the hydrodynamic forces leading to entrainment of a spherical bed sediment particle for a rough bed uniform turbulent ...
Investigation of Internal Functioning of the Radial-Basis-Function Neural Network River Flow Forecasting Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper deals with the challenging problem of hydrological interpretation of the internal functioning of artificial neural networks (ANNs) by extracting knowledge from their solutions. The neural network used in this ...
Delineating Flood-Flow Regions for the North Island of New Zealand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With recent acknowledgment that New Zealand requires updated guidelines in predicting rainfall and runoff, this case study compares three approaches in forming flood regions for the North Island of New Zealand. With ...
Experimental Investigation of Tsunami Bore-Induced Forces on Skewed Deck Girder Section Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tsunamis are among the most destructive natural disasters. Recent major tsunamis in Indonesia (2004), Chile (2010), and Japan (2011) resulted in significant loss of human lives and damage to coastal structures. Damages to ...
Investigation of Flow Patterns in Storm Water Retention Ponds using CFD
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as an engineering tool for the design of storm water retention ponds is a rapidly growing area of interest, but there is a large gap in the literature with regard to validating ...
Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Water Balance of Forested and Farmed Catchments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water balance modeling is commonly used to quantify the impacts of climate change on water availability over a region or a catchment. Under climate change, significant variability in precipitation and evapotranspiration ...
Use of Gene Expression Programming for Multimodel Combination of Rainfall-Runoff Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper deals with the application of an innovative method for combining estimated outputs from a number of rainfall-runoff models using gene expression programming (GEP) to perform symbolic regression. The GEP multimodel ...
Statistical Properties of Partial Duration Series and Its Implication on Regional Frequency Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of partial duration series (PDS) in hydrological application includes the difficulty in determining the exceedance threshold or the number of average peaks per year (
