RISImproved Design of Branched Networks by Using Pressure‐Reducing Valves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Economical design of hydraulic networks has been a subject of research for some time. Piping has been the main focus of this research because it represents the greatest percentage of the investment in a network. Pipe cost ...
Closure to “Improved Design of Branched Networks by Using Pressure‐Reducing Valves” by Rafael Pérez, Fernando Martínez, and Antonio Vela

Efficient Modeling of Active Control Valves in Water Distribution Systems Using the Loop Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to model pressure- and flow-regulating devices in the context of the Newton-Raphson loop method for water distribution network simulation. The proposed approach uses a symmetric matrix ...
Bond Behavior of Recycled Concrete: Analysis and Prediction of Bond Stress–Slip Curve
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the bond stress–slip curve of recycled concretes and the influence of recycled coarse aggregate, which leads to the determination of bond behavior at serviceability. In order to perform this analysis, a ...
Random Scenarios Generation with Minimum Energy Consumption Model for Sectoring Optimization in Pressurized Irrigation Networks Using a Simulated Annealing Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A pressurized irrigation network may operate in two ways, namely, on demand and organized under operating sectors. In the first case, the user decides when to irrigate, and the pumping station has to meet the discharge and ...
Parallel Computing in Water Network Analysis and Leakage Minimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper a parallel computing based software demonstrator for the simulation and leakage minimization of water networks is presented. This demonstrator, based on the EPANET package, tackles three different types of ...
