Abstract: This paper describes construction management teaching for the Master of Engineering in civil engineering course at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. This course is a 5-yr undergraduate degree accredited by ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first detailed examination of the dependence of graded bed stability on antecedent flow conditions (stress history). Thirty-three experiments, including repetitions, were undertaken where a bimodal ...

Abstract: Results are presented of a computational study of turbulent free surface flow over an abrupt drop in bed elevation. The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved using an operator splitting technique. Different ...

Abstract: The Shields diagram remains the most widely used criterion for incipient motion of sediment. However its implicit nature makes applications rather inconvenient. By deploying Guo’s logarithmic matching method twice, this ...

Abstract: Fluvial bed load transport is often considered to assume a capacity regime exclusively determined by local flow conditions, but its applicability in naturally occurring unsteady flows remains to be theoretically justified. ...

Abstract: In recent years, sand-filled geotextile bags (geobags) have become a popular means of long-term riverbank protection. However, the associated failure mechanisms of geobag revetments are still not well understood. Three ...

Abstract: New formulations are presented for flow resistance and momentum flux in compound open channels. As implemented in the St. Venant equations, these formulations facilitate a physically enhanced approach to evaluating conveyance, ...

Abstract: Turbidity current is formed as subaerial open-channel sediment-laden flow plunges into a reservoir. The whole process of reservoir turbidity current, i.e., formation, propagation, and recession, is generally controlled by ...
