Abstract: In this study, three-dimensional finite-element models incorporating a Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic material model were validated for the evaluation of the shape effect of square and circular surface footings under vertical ...

Abstract: Loss of water caused by leakage is a common phenomenon observed in all water distribution systems (WDSs). The volume of leakage around the world is considerably high, and its control is crucial to meet the increasing water ...

Abstract: Reliability assessment of water supply systems (WSSs) is an important aspect of WSS planning and operations. Traditionally, WSS reliability involves the comparison of hydraulics (e.g., pressure or available water volume) ...
