Design Criteria of Urban Drainage Infrastructures under Climate Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Actual projections provided by climate models suggest that the probability of occurrence of intense rainfall will increase in a future climate due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases. Considering that the ...
Integration of Incomplete Mixing at Junctions of Water Distribution Networks in Contamination Source Identification Tools
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The water quality models used in contamination source identification (CSI) tools assume complete mixing at the junctions of drinking water distribution networks. Two extensions of the contamination status algorithm (CSA)—a ...
Global Predictive Real-Time Control of Sewers Allowing Surcharged Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A global predictive real-time control strategy minimizing overflow volumes from combined sewers during rainfalls is presented. For an optimal use of controlled sewer transport and storage capacities, the proposed strategy ...
Performance Estimation of a Remote Field Eddy Current Method for the Inspection of Water Distribution Pipes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Remote Field Eddy Current (RFEC) technology allows the in situ inspection of metallic water distribution pipes. RFEC tools provide the location and magnitude of corrosion defects on the inspected pipes. The capacity of an ...
Hydrologic Performance of Permeable Pavement as an Adaptive Measure in Urban Areas: Case Studies near Montreal, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The infiltration capacity of permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) was characterized on five sites located in the greater Montreal area (Canada). Surface infiltration rates up to more than 20,000 mm/h were ...
General Model for Water-Distribution Pipe Breaks: Development, Methodology, and Application to a Small City in Quebec, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To model water-pipe breaks a generalization is proposed of an approach where a Weibull exponential model was used for simulation. In this study, a generalization of this approach was performed by developing a general model ...
Performance Assessment of Stormwater Management Infrastructures in a Parking Lot near Montreal, Canada
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stormwater control measures, including green and gray infrastructures, are increasingly used to enhance the level of sustainability of conventional drainage networks in managing rainfall-induced runoff. This paper studies ...
