Neural Net for Determining DEM-Based Model Drainage Pattern
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Manually determining drainage patterns from topographical maps for a grid-based model is time consuming and occasionally subjective. Eight methods including neural network are developed in this study to automatically ...
Closure to “Multiobjective Zone TP Reduction Analyses for an Off‐Stream Reservoir” by Jehng-Jung Kao and Cheng-Hsien Tsai
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
GA-QP Model to Optimize Sewer System Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sanitary sewer systems are fundamental and expensive facilities for controlling water pollution. Optimizing sewer design is a difficult task due to its associated hydraulic and mathematical complexities. Therefore, a genetic ...
Computer‐Aided System for Ground‐Water Resources Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the use of a computer‐based environment to facilitate engineering decision‐making tasks. A prototype system is developed as an exploration tool and as a demonstration of the techniques and principles ...
IAC Network for Composition of Waste-Incineration Facility
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research explores a prototypical interactive activation and competition (IAC) network to facilitate the selection of an appropriate facility combination for municipal solid waste incineration on the basis of characteristics ...
Grid-Based Heuristic Method for Multifactor Landfill Siting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Siting a landfill requires the processing of a large amount of spatial data. However, the manual processing of spatial data is tedious. A geographical information system (GIS), although capable of handling spatial data in ...
Multifactor Spatial Analysis for Landfill Siting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Siting a landfill typically requires processing a significant amount of spatial data with respect to various siting rules, regulations, factors, and constraints. Manually performing such a spatial analysis with drawing ...
Enhanced Spatial Model for Landfill Siting Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A landfill siting analysis typically requires evaluating various rules, factors, constraints, and numerous spatial data. A modern geographical information system, although capable of rapidly processing a massive amount of ...
Multiobjective Zone TP Reduction Analyses for an Off-Stream Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) models are developed to evaluate total phosphorus (TP) load reduction strategies for an off-stream reservoir. Cost, water quality, and equity are the three major objectives considered. ...
Spatial Service Location-Allocation Analysis for Siting Recycling Depots
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although recycling depots can promote recycling, their spatial distributions significantly affect efficiency. Despite the ability to locate depots throughout a region by minimizing total service distance, residents in ...
