Abstract: Critical gap is the threshold by which drivers in the minor stream judge whether to accept a gap. If the gap is larger than critical gap, drivers accept it and enter the intersection; otherwise, drivers reject the gap and ...

Abstract: This technical note presents an analytical method, accompanied by a numerical scheme, to evaluate the response of beams on nonuniform elastic foundations, namely, when the foundation modulus is

Abstract: Accurate and reliable runoff prediction is essential for the efficient operation of hydropower systems. This paper presented a runoff probability prediction model that utilizes an enhanced long short-term memory (LSTM) ...

Abstract: A full-scale field study was conducted in Kansas to investigate the installation effect on steel-reinforced high-density polyethylene (SRHDPE) pipes. Four 2.13 m-long SRHDPE pipes with a diameter of 0.61 m were connected ...
