Effects of Using Accurate Climatic Conditions for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The implementation of the new mechanistic-empirical design guide has led to the need for more accurate inputs. One of the most important inputs that affect the performance of the pavement materials is the climatic data. ...
Potential Impact of Climate Change on Subsurface Drainage in Iowa’s Subsurface Drained Landscapes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study presents hydrologic simulations assessing the potential impact of climate change on subsurface drainage and its pattern in Iowa’s subsurface drained landscapes. The contemporary (representing the decade of 1990s) ...
Wind Energy Potential at Elevated Hub Heights in the US Midwest Region
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The US Midwest successfully generates wind power at a hub height of 80–90 m and the use of tall towers can reduce the wind energy cost. However, the lack of reliable wind data and production estimates at elevated heights ...
