Combined Numerical Simulation and Groundwater Depletion Sensitivity Analysis for Dynamic Pumping Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The economy continues to grow in Taiwan, and water demand from both households and industry has also continued to increase, which has led to water scarcity problems rising throughout the island. Thus, groundwater plays an ...
A Method Combining Seepage Theory and Model Simulation for the Identification of Potential Groundwater Resources
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent years, climate change has caused extreme weather all over the world, including in Taiwan. Rainfall in Taiwan is distributed unevenly in both time and space, leading to a shortage of water resources which has ...
Effects of Public Investment on Sustainable Urban Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the past, for urban governance issues, local governments tended to only focus on the economic development of cities, but in recent years, in the context of the global pursuit of sustainable goals, how to propose public ...
Evolution of the Overlying-Strata-Bearing Structure and the Permeability Distribution of the Broken Interlayer in Shallow Multiseam Mining
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the particularity of the occurrence characteristics of shallow multiseam mining, underground mining space is vulnerable to obvious roof behaviors and serious gas anomalies, which are closely related to the destruction ...
Arterial Signal Coordination Optimization Model Based on All-Direction Pairs at Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current arterial signal coordination models only target through traffic or critical traffic, resulting in fairness issues for traffic in other directions. Moreover, these models fail to achieve system optimality between ...
Data-Driven Analytics on Traffic Volume Calibration and Estimation for Town-Maintained Highways: A Case Study from Connecticut
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Annual average daily traffic (AADT) is one of the most inevitable elements for both transportation planning and traffic safety analysis. For state Departments of Transportations (DOTs), collecting AADT data is a critical ...
Analytical Solutions for the Deflection and Internal Force of a Hard Roof Subjected to a Piecewise Linear Supercharged Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coal mining generally induces stress concentration around the goaf range, and the hard roof undergoes fracture and instability when the stress exceeds the tensile strength. It is crucial to investigate the mechanical ...
Critical Instability and Dynamic Loading Laws of the Artificial Dam in the Coal Mine Underground Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Establishing underground reservoirs in coal mines to protect water resources has become a new option. Ensuring the stability of an artificial dam is crucial for the safe operation of underground water reservoirs. Therefore, ...
Mechanical Failure Characteristics and Energy Dissipation Laws of the Coal–Concrete Combination under Impact Rates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mining shallow coal seams and deep coal seams is obviously different. In the deep environment of a coal mine, the stress concentration degree is high, and the dynamic load with impact tendency is prominent. In the practice ...
Improved TDR Method for Quality Control of Soil-Nailing Works
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has become an effective nondestructive testing method for soil-nailing inspection. Previous studies utilized a preinstalled, single-core, electric wire alongside the rebar within the soil ...
