Abstract: On a curved section of highway, the cross slope of the road is often designed to be superelevated to balance the centrifugal force and gravity applied on vehicles. The accumulation of storm-water runoff (sheet flow) near ...

Abstract: A representative curve number (CN) of a catchment is often calculated from the area-weighted average of CN values of unique land use and soil combinations. While convenient for implementation, this method is known to ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from an extensive experimental study of sheet flow on rough impervious surfaces that are used to represent highway pavement. Experiments were performed on three surfaces under no-rainfall and ...

Abstract: Sedimentation-filtration (SedFil) basins are one of the storm-water best management practices (BMPs) that are intended to mitigate water quality problems in urban creeks and rivers. A new physically based model of variably ...

Abstract: Urbanized watersheds produce instantaneous response to rainfall, resulting in storm-water runoff exceeding the carrying capacity of drainage systems—the management of which is important to prevent flooding and erosion of ...
