RISHigher-Order Moments of Velocity Fluctuations in an Open-Channel Flow with Large Bottom Roughness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of surface roughness on the higher-order velocity moments in a turbulent open-channel flow. The wall roughness is large and the ratio of the roughness size to the depth ...
Consolidation Behavior of a Uranium Tailings Storage Facility in Saskatchewan

Collocation Finite-Element Simulation of Dam-Break Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The one-dimensional hydrodynamic equations based on shallow-water theory are used to compute the flood wave resulting from the total instantaneous collapse of a dam. The collocation method is used in conjunction with quintic ...
Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Unconfined Bolted Connections in Cold-Formed Steel Members
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The commentary to the North American cold-formed steel specification recommends physical testing to determine the performance of a bolted connection where the plies are not in contact with each other. This paper presents ...
Light-Gauge Shear Panel with Slotted Cold-Reduced Sheet Steel Brace
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In low seismic regions where wind loading governs structural design, the use of high-strength cold-reduced sheet steels for tension strap braces is attractive, but is hindered by a lack of material ductility that causes ...
Strength of Shear Nailed Connections in Thin Steel Sheets
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigated the potential applicability of the specification equation for the shear pull-out strength of a power-actuated fastener (PAF) connection to nail connections between steel sheets thinner than 2.9 mm. ...
Determination of Temperature Dependence of Electrical Conductivity and Its Relationship with Ionic Strength of Anaerobic Digester Supernatant, for Struvite Formation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Electrical conductivity (EC) is used for monitoring different types of aqueous systems. The measured EC value at any temperature needs to be corrected for a standard temperature, for reporting or comparison, since EC is ...
Hydraulic Evaluation of W-Weir for River Restoration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various structural measures have been advocated for river restoration and habitat improvement schemes. The W-weir is one such structure that can be used in mobile bed alluvial rivers to diversify habitat and provide grade ...
Effects of Vanes and W-Weir on Sediment Transport in Meandering Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sediment transport patterns in a meandering channel with instream restoration structures (vane and W-weir) have been studied. Laboratory experiments were conducted in a large-scale mobile-bed channel with graded materials ...
Reattached Turbulent Submerged Offset Jets on Rough Beds with Shallow Tailwater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the characteristics of reattached plane turbulent offset jets in channels with rough beds and shallow tailwater depths. The flow consists of a deflecting free jet caused by the Coanda effect and the ...
