Abstract: Ground movements induced by shallow tunnels affect the safety of nearby underground and aboveground structures. Therefore, the reliable prediction of these movements is important. A transparent soil model is used to ...

Abstract: Characteristics of mean droplet size of spray produced by spinning disk atomizers were experimentally investigated. The phase-doppler particle analyzer (PDPA) was used to measure the droplet size ...

Abstract: The evaluation of the quality of unconventional hydrocarbon resources becomes a critical stage toward characterizing these resources, and this evaluation requires the evaluation of the total organic carbon (TOC). Generally, ...

Abstract: Predicting the rate of penetration (ROP) is challenging especially during horizontal drilling. This is because there are many factors affecting ROP. Machine learning techniques are very promising in identifying the structural ...

Abstract: The massive number of infrastructure intervention activities occurring in cities leads to detrimental social, environmental, and economic impacts on the community. Thus, integrating the asset intervention activities is ...

Abstract: Municipalities are experiencing high inefficiency and financial burden imposed by their underperforming aging infrastructure. One-third of Canada’s municipal infrastructure is in fair, poor, and failing condition states, ...

Abstract: The breakup process of a low speed capillary liquid jet is computationally investigated for different Ohnesorge numbers (Z), wave numbers (K), and disturbance amplitudes (ζo ). An implicit finite ...
