Abstract: In this technical note, new considerations and modifications are introduced to a recent design optimization model, developed by the first author, that is able to find the optimal active capacity for a water supply reservoir ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of tensile strain capacity (TSC) is the key to the strain-based design and assessment (SBDA) of buried pipelines. Various TSC prediction models proposed by research institutions such as the Pipeline ...

Abstract: It is challenging to obtain optimal operation rules for a system of reservoirs in parallel. This study derives generic optimal operation rules from a multistage nonlinear programming (NLP) model established for a system ...
