Abstract: In this paper, the development and implementation of a web-based interactive computer-aided learning package on open-channel flow is delineated. The principal purpose of the tool is to support classroom teaching for a ...

Abstract: The need arises to equip engineering students with a wider horizon of concepts in terms of environmental, economic, and social attributes, for decision making of sensitive to sustainability issues. Pedagogic frameworks ...

Abstract: Resolving construction disputes using an adversarial approach is considered to be in opposition of the maintenance of a harmonious relationship between two parties. The modern arbitration process may emulate the litigation ...

Abstract: This technical note presents the development of a computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting package (DRAINAGE) for medium-sized municipal storm-water drainage systems. The numerical model, which is designed for use on IBM/PC ...

Abstract: Designing gravity‐type vertical seawalls involves repetitive design calculations in each block layer at different water levels under a variety of wave conditions. Incautious human errors that are fatal to the design may ...

Abstract: This paper delineates the development of a prototype hybrid knowledge-based system for the optimum design of liquid retaining structures by coupling the blackboard architecture, an expert system shell

Abstract: Flow and transport in a natural water body commonly interact with density stratification and in some cases the stratification may be characterized as a two-layered system. A rigorous, two-layered, two-dimensional (2D) ...

Abstract: A 3D numerical model with an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate in the horizontal direction and sigma coordinate in the vertical direction has been developed. This model is based on POM (Princeton Ocean Model). In this model ...

Abstract: In a flood-prone region, quick and accurate flood forecasting is imperative. It can extend the lead time for issuing disaster warnings and allow sufficient time for habitants in hazardous areas to take appropriate action, ...

Abstract: The no‐dig technique has been proven in Europe and Japan as a successful means of constructing underground utilities and drainage works through densely populated areas without causing unacceptable disturbances, by eliminating ...
