RISImpact of Building Dimensions and Setbacks around Buildings on the Sky-View Factor of a Regulated Residential Urban Canyon in India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The climatic conditions in urban areas are affected by man-made features, including buildings. Building geometry determines the sky-view factor (SVF) of a canyon. A higher SVF is necessary to mitigate the urban heat island ...
Scour Downstream of a Piano Key Weir with and without a Solid Apron
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Piano Key Weirs (PKWs) are often preferred over other spillways for the dam rehabilitation due to high discharging capacity. The present study investigates scour downstream of three cycles of PKWs with and without solid ...
Sediment Movement over Type A Piano Key Weirs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This investigation deals with the mechanics of movement of singular quartz gravel and coarse sand riverbed particles upstream and over the inlet key of three Type A piano key weir (PKW) models, which were recorded with a ...
A Reformed Empirical Equation for the Discharge Coefficient of Free-Flowing Type-A Piano Key Weirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The existing equations for the discharge coefficient of Piano key weirs (PKWs) use a limited range of experimental data, which means that they are inappropriate for wide parametric ranges that might lead to significant ...
Spatial Analysis of the Gender Wage Gap in Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Construction Occupations in the United States
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Over the last recent decades, the economic status of women has been changed significantly. Gender segregation levels have decreased, and women have started participating in male-dominated occupations like construction ...
