Abstract: A new method of parameter estimation for any probability distribution used in flood frequency analysis is proposed as a modification to the conventional probability-weighted moments (PWMs) method. The PWMs can be estimated ...

Abstract: Although structural light-weight concrete has enjoyed frequent application in Europe and the United States since the 1950s, it has not been used at all in Turkey despite abundant and economical sources of natural light-weight ...

Abstract: Ten-stage operation policies for routing of flood hydrographs from very small magnitudes up to the probable maximum flood (PMF) for any dam having a gated spillway are suggested. The gate opening rules are determined based ...

Abstract: Data of 14 standard duration annual maximum rainfall series with durations of 5 min to 24 h and lengths between 30 and 73 years up to 2010 that were recorded in Turkey are used. Mann-Kendall and linear regression trend, ...

Abstract: Outflow hydrographs for three dams with long lakes in narrow valleys were computed by both hydrologic routing (level-pool routing) and hydraulic routing. They were compared with three inflow hydrographs of different peaks ...

Abstract: In this study, one‐dimensional consolidation of fine‐grained soils is considered. By taking into account the results of the infiltration theory, a new approach, which is applicable to soils in either saturated or unsaturated ...

Abstract: Mix proportions of

Abstract: In this technical note, a new and efficient control method based on fuzzy logic is proposed for the real-time operation of spillway gates of a reservoir during any flood of any magnitude up to the probable maximum flood. ...

Abstract: The probability distributions of Gumbel, three-parameter lognormal (LN3), general extreme values (GEV), three-parameter gamma (G3), and three-parameter log-gamma (LG3), whose parameters are computed by the methods of moments ...
