RISPhysical Model-Based Landslide Susceptibility Mapping of Himalayan Highways Considering the Coupled Effect of Rainfall and Earthquake
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The impact of earthquake-induced landslides is a global concern, particularly in the Himalayas and its nearby region, leading to substantial socioeconomic losses. High seismicity along with intense rainfall and steep slopes ...
Urban Water Demand: Statistical Optimization Approach to Modeling Daily Demand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reliable forecasts of water demand that account for factors that drive demand are imperative to understanding future urban water needs. The effects of meteorological dynamics and sociocultural settings are expressed weakly ...
Unsteady Wake Characteristics of a Flapping Wing through 3D TR-PIV
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The unsteady wake characteristics of a butterfly-shaped wing undergoing flapping and feathering motions are studied. A 4-bar quick return mechanism is used to generate the flapping motion. To achieve considerable feathering ...
Margin of Safety in TMDLs: Natural Language Processing-Aided Review of the State of Practice
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The margin of safety (MOS) accounts for uncertainties in the total maximum daily load (TMDL) development process and the variabilities involved in simulating systems, providing a complete description of the degree of ...
Overview of Remote Sensing and GIS Uses in Watershed and TMDL Analyses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
Numerical Investigation on Heat Flux Variation in Fuel Bundle Over Fully Voided Concentric Channel of IPHWR Under Severe Accidental Scenario
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A steady-state thermal analysis is performed on a fully voided channel of an Indian pressurized heavy water reactor (IPHWR) by providing variable heat flux inputs of 800 W/m2, 1500 W/m2, 2500 W/m2, 3500 W/m2, and 4500 W/m2 ...
Tuning Proportional-Integral-Derivative Gains of a Three-Dimensional RRRP Pick and Place Robot for Asymptotic Trajectory Tracking
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper uses the Floquet theory for tuning the feedback gains to stabilize the tracking errors of a revolute-revolute-revolute-prismatic (RRRP) robot moving in a three-dimensional (3D) workspace. This robot is driven ...
Utilizing Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag during Carbon Sequestration in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon-sequestered concrete (CSC) and green binders such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have emerged as promising solutions for reducing the environmental impact of concrete. With the aim of optimizing its ...
Selecting Reliable Models for Total Maximum Daily Load Development: Holistic Protocol
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Computer models and simpler methods must be used to reliably determine total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters of the US. Models are also useful to develop implementation plans that allocate load reductions ...
Tool for Searching USEPA’s TMDL Reports Repository to Analyze TMDL Modeling State of the Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Total maximum daily load (TMDL) reports archived in the USEPA database can provide useful guidance for the development of new TMDLs and watershed management plans by aiding the selection process for the most appropriate ...
