Abstract: Data of 13 stream flow gauging sites of the North Brahmaputra region of India are screened using the discordancy measure

Abstract: Knowledge of the angle of repose of snow is significant for estimation of the rheological behavior of snow avalanches. However, at present, no comprehensive database or empirical equation is available to quantify the angle ...

Abstract: The stone column encasement is a widespread ground improvement technique that effectively improves the engineering characteristics of weak and compressible soils with excessive settlement problems under vertical loadings. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study for an approach toward the regionalization of solid waste management facilities. A shared facility of engineered landfill termed divisional landfill has been proposed for the regional level ...

Abstract: A laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate the in situ performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC) compared to a conventional compacted concrete (CCC) of similar strength in reinforced concrete T-beams. As an additional ...

Abstract: Alcohols (ethanol and methanol) are being widely considered as alternative fuels for automotive applications. At the same time, homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine has attracted global attention due to ...

Abstract: Implementing bus rapid transit (BRT) raises many challenging issues of technical, operational, and institutional nature. The present study sets the groundwork for a methodology that can be used to selectively target corridor ...

Abstract: A new approach that links genetic algorithm (GA) as an optimization tool with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS)-based reliability program is presented for reliability-constrained optimal design of water treatment plant (WTP). ...

Abstract: The performance of magnetorheological (MR) brakes is dependent on the MR characteristics of the braking fluid, working parameters, and magnetic fields. Due to the size limitations, it is quite difficult to use large-sized ...
