Rate of Change Processing of Acoustic Data from a Permanent Monitoring System for Pipe Crack Early Identification: A Case Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A permanent “leak-before-break” type acoustic monitoring system has been deployed by the South Australian Water Corporation across the Adelaide City Central Business District (CBD) since early 2017. Several analytic ...
Develop a Robot-Aided Area Sensing System for 3D Shape Inspection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dimensional inspection using a contact-based coordinate measurement machine (CMM) is time consuming because the part can only be measured point-by-point. A 3D sensor may replace the traditional ...
Basin-Wide Water Resources Management Strategies Improve Cooperation Effectiveness and Benefits
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Basin-wide cooperation is an approach to resolve water disputes and improve the resilience of transboundary river basins to extreme droughts under climate change. However, the effectiveness of cooperation among various ...
Particle Breakage Effect on Compression Behavior of Realistic Granular Assembly
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A numerical investigation of the effect of particle breakage on the one-dimensional compression behavior of a realistic granular assembly was carried out using the discrete-element method. The morphologies of sands were ...
Optimization of Water Diversion Based on Reservoir Operating Rules: Analysis of the Biliu River Reservoir, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interbasin water-transfer projects are constructed to solve regional water-shortage problems. This study attempts to develop a set of water-diversion strategies to assist in the decision-making process of effectively ...
Human-Induced Runoff Change in Northeast China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Human activities are known to increase interference with runoff. Conversely, human activities related to utilizing and managing water resources are primarily determined by annual runoff processes dominated by precipitation ...
Fatigue Strength Assessment on a Multiplanar Tubular KK Joints by Scaled Model Test
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multiplanar tubular KKjoints are one of the most popular joint types in offshore structures, which are exposed to cyclic loads and fatigue damages. In this paper, a fatigue prediction method based on scaled model test is ...
Failure Impact Analysis of Isolation Valves in a Water Distribution Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Isolation valves are crucial components of water distribution systems for separating pipe segments from the network for repair or maintenance purpose. This paper looks at the impacts of isolation valve failure on three ...
Cost-Benefit Framework for Optimal Design of Water Transfer Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water transfer systems are increasingly seen as a response to regional water stresses. The expensive capital cost of such massive projects calls for satisfying the desired requirements with a minimum investment, ...
