Analysis of Dominant Factors Associated with Hurricane Damages to Residential Structures Using the Rough Set Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hurricanes are extreme storm events often causing combined wind and surge damage to residential structures. During these events, the extent of damages for individual residential structures is related to a multitude of ...
A Novel Leakage-Detection Method Based on Sensitivity Matrix of Pipe Flow: Case Study of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban water supply networks are important infrastructure to ensure the daily water consumption of urban residents and factories. However, the scope of leakage detection is large and inaccurate using the traditional ...
Component-Based Vulnerability Analysis for Residential Structures Subjected to Storm Surge Impact from Hurricane Sandy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, manual and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveys of physical damage to structures in Ortley Beach, New Jersey, following Hurricane Sandy are used to assess the vulnerability of residential structures ...
