Integrated Subsurface Modeling and Risk Assessment of Petroleum-Contaminated Sites in Western Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil and groundwater contamination can pose a variety of impacts and risks to communities. Identification of management schemes with sound environmental and socio-economic efficiencies is desired. Before any decisions ...
Hybrid Fuzzy-Stochastic Modeling Approach for Assessing Environmental Risks at Contaminated Groundwater Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The risk associated with a contaminated groundwater system often refers to the chance of damaging a human’s health through various exposure pathways. In this study, a hybrid fuzzy-stochastic risk assessment (FUSRA) approach ...
Integrated Modeling for Optimal Municipal Solid Waste Management Strategies under Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, an inexact fuzzy-probabilistic programming (IFPP) method is advanced for developing optimal municipal solid waste (MSW) management strategy with uncertain information. The IFPP can support the assessment of ...
Dual-Interval Fuzzy Stochastic Programming Method for Long-Term Planning of Municipal Solid Waste Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In many real-world problems, quality of the available information is generally poor and uncertainties presented as multiple formats may exist in various system components. In this study, a dual-interval fuzzy stochastic ...
Discussion: Optimal Regional Scheduling of Solid Waste Systems. I: Model Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “Multiobjective Zone TP Reduction Analyses for an Off-Stream Reservoir” by Jehng-Jung Kao and Cheng-Hsien Tsai
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Inexact Probabilistic Optimization Model and Its Application to Flood Diversion Planning in a Dynamic and Uncertain Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flood management systems involve a variety of complexities, such as multiple uncertainties and their interdependences, as well as multiregion and dynamic features. This paper thus presents an inexact two-stage mixed-integer ...
Inexact Chance-Constrained Waste-Load Allocation Model for Water Quality Management of Xiangxihe River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, an inexact chance-constrained waste-load allocation (ICWA) model is proposed for supporting river quality management under uncertainty that is capable of addressing uncertainties expressed as intervals and ...
A Factorial Dual-Interval Programming Approach for Planning Municipal Waste Management Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a factorial dual-interval programming (FDIP) approach is proposed through integrating factorial analysis and dual-interval linear programming into a general framework. The developed FDIP approach can handle ...
High-Order Compact Difference Scheme for Convection–Diffusion Problems on Nonuniform Grids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a high-order compact (HOC) scheme for solving the convection–diffusion equation (CDE) under a nonuniform grid setting is developed. To eliminate the difficulty in dealing with convection terms through ...
