Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to study the dynamic performance of seals and the fatigue failure probability updating of a hydraulic steel sluice gate by experiments. First, water seal modifications involving of top, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative approach for a probabilistic analysis of liquefaction hazard at a given site in a specified exposure time based on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Maps data. The ...

Abstract: The Cooper marl in Charleston, S.C., a deep layer of clayey soils approximately 5–

Abstract: Real-time modeling of water distribution systems (WDSs) has received much attention in WDS operation and management. As the model input, nodal water demand must be calibrated in a timely manner. However, for the large-scale ...

Abstract: Few studies have focused on the multivariate joint design of drought properties. Using daily streamflow data, this paper analyzes the impacts of pooling and exclusion of drought events in determining hydrological drought ...
