RISComparison of Risk Calculation Methods for a Culvert
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comparative study of eight different risk calculation methods has been performed on the occurrence probability of inadequate capacity of a culvert to pass floods. The five basic risk calculation methods used in this study ...
Impact of Human Activities to Hydrologic Alterations on the Illinois River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Illinois River is a tributary of the Mississippi River that connects Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. Starting in 1848 when the Illinois and Michigan Canal began to open, the Illinois River has experienced some ...
Improving HSPF Modeling Accuracy from FTABLES: Case Study for the Illinois River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An application of the Hydrologic Simulation Program–FORTRAN (HSPF) model was developed for the entire Illinois River basin. During the simulation period from 1985 to 1995, simulated monthly and annual flows correlated well ...
50-Year Flood in the Lower Illinois River: Sensitivity of Spillway and Levee Failure Option Parameters in the UNET Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The one-dimensional unsteady-state hydraulic model (UNET) was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and has been used for flood protection in some large rivers. In its use for the real-time management of levee and ...
