RISDiscussion of “<i>Optimal Sequencing of Development for Hydropower Stations in Cascade</i>” by Yonghua Wan, Shiyun Huang, and Miguel A. Mariño (May, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 3)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Remote Sensing and Fully Distributed Modeling for Flood Forecasting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The advantage of introducing Landsat‐derived land‐cover information into a flood‐flow forecasting model is examined. Two modeling alternatives, with and without Landsat data, were applied to 10 km by 10 km grid sizes. The ...
Pavement Condition Prediction for Communities: A Low-Cost, Ubiquitous, and Network-Wide Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective prediction of pavement deterioration is critical to forecast infrastructure performance and make infrastructure investment decisions under escalating environmental and traffic change. However, most communities ...
Reservoir Operations by Successive Linear Programming
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The dynamics of a reservoir system are usually described by the repeated applications of continuity equations. Since the number of variables involved is usually double the number of equations, the feasible solutions of the ...
Experiments on Fault-Tolerant Active Vibration Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to experimentally demonstrate a fault-tolerant active vibration control system. Active vibration control is achieved using piezoceramic sensors and actuators (transducers) ...
Periodic Numerical Rough Surface Filtered Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical surface filtered generation is one of the main methods for generating numerical rough surfaces, but when faced with rough surfaces with waviness or large periodicity, traditional filtering methods cannot be ...
Multivariate-Parameter Optimization for Photodegradation of Tetracycline by Fe(III)-Citrate Complexes at Near-Neutral pH
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tetracycline antibiotics have been extensively used in pharmaceutical and veterinary therapies, and they are widely present in natural waters. Although Fe(III)-citrate complexes are known to be highly photoreactive, the ...
Risk Assessment of Lake Flooding Considering Propagation of Uncertainty from Rainfall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk assessment of lake flooding is studied through uncertainty propagation of the rainstorm control model. The failure risks of insufficient drainage capacity are assessed using the classic reliability approach and ...
Burst Detection Using an Artificial Immune Network in Water-Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new method using artificial immune network is presented to identify pipe burst in water-distribution systems. Burst detection is considered as the problem of pattern recognition in the proposed method. An artificial ...
Performance of Strong Ionic Hydrogels Based on 2-Acrylamido-2-Methylpropane Sulfonate as Draw Agents for Forward Osmosis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: While forward osmosis (FO) has great potential to be the next generation water treatment technology, it is constrained by the development of ideal draw agents and membranes. Herein, a series of copolymerized hydrogels based ...
