Numerical Simulation of Rain Scavenging on Large Release of Water-Soluble Gases
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A depth-integrated numerical model
When Natural and Technological Disasters Collide: Lessons from the Turkey Earthquake of August 17, 1999
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analysis of the effects of strong earthquakes on hazardous materials stored at industrial facilities in urban areas can provide valuable insights for future risk management practice. In this study, the experience of the ...
Design of Object-Oriented Water Quality Software System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Software models are important for the evaluation and management of environmental resources. This paper presents a framework for developing a software system for water quality analysis of river ecosystems. A major component ...
Identifying Hurricane-Induced Hazardous Material Release Scenarios in a Petroleum Refinery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hurricanes and other natural disasters can induce hazardous material (hazmat) releases. However, researchers generally treat natural and technological disasters as separate entities rather than as conjoint events. This ...
Bayesian Model for Fate and Transport of Polychlorinated Biphenyl in Upper Hudson River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modelers of contaminant fate and transport in surface waters typically rely on literature values when selecting parameter values for mechanistic models. While the expert judgment with which these selections are made is ...
Joint Seismic and Technological Disasters: Possible Impacts and Community Preparedness in an Urban Setting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seismic events can trigger releases of gaseous hazardous chemicals stored in large quantities at industrial facilities. If these releases occur near residential communities, large numbers of people are placed at risk and ...
