Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline Ensembles for Management of Multilayered Coastal Aquifers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Application of multivariate adaptive regression spline ensembles (En-MARS) in a coupled simulation-optimization methodology to derive multiple-objective optimal groundwater extraction strategies for a multilayered coastal ...
Adaptive Management of Coastal Aquifers Using Entropy-Set Pair Analysis–Based Three-Dimensional Sequential Monitoring Network Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional compliance monitoring network design methodology is presented to develop an adaptive and sequentially modified management policy that intends to improve optimal and justifiable use of groundwater resources ...
Influence of Sea Level Rise on Multiobjective Management of Saltwater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study demonstrates the influence of climate change-induced sea level rise on multiobjective saltwater intrusion management strategies in coastal aquifers. Three metamodels were developed from the solutions of a numerical ...
Reliability Coupled Sensitivity-Based Seismic Analysis of Gravity Retaining Wall Using Pseudostatic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The stability of geotechnical earth structures is often affected by associated uncertainties present in geotechnical parameters, if they are not properly accounted for. The present paper aims at quantifying these uncertainties ...
Reliability Coupled Sensitivity-Based Seismic Analysis of Gravity Retaining Wall Using Pseudostatic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The stability of geotechnical earth structures is often affected by associated uncertainties present in geotechnical parameters, if they are not properly accounted for. The present paper aims at quantifying these uncertainties ...
Reliability-Based Analysis of Cantilever Sheet Pile Walls Backfilled with Different Soil Types Using the Finite-Element Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents an analytical study of a cantilever sheet pile wall considering the effects of uncertainty of soil properties. The failure probability (
Effect of Spatial Variability of Soil Properties on Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing under Fuzzy Uncertainty
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present study investigates the effect of spatial variability of soil parameters on the probability of failure of strip footings against bearing pressure resting on a homogeneous and two-layered soil system. The uncertain ...
Dynamic Analysis of Pile Foundation Embedded in Homogeneous Soil Using Cone Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dynamic analysis of single and group piles under vertical vibration is carried out in this paper using the cone model to investigate the effect of different parameters on the response of single and group piles. Using a ...
Design and Analysis of a Novel Lightweight, Energy Economic Powered Knee Orthotic Device
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The task of a powered knee orthotic device (PKOD) is to assist the knee joint so that its natural behavior can be restored. The key features of a PKOD that may help to regain such characteristics are low power consumption, ...
