Uncertainty Analysis of National Weather Service Rainfall Frequency Atlas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The rainfall‐frequency atlas published by the National Weather Service (NWS) has been extensively used in the storm drainage structures design. The users of such maps should recognize the fact that these maps are the result ...
Channel Scouring Potential Using Logistic Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water resource engineers often have to relate qualitative dependent variables to one or more independent variables, which may or may not be quantitative. In such circumstances, the use of conventional regression analysis ...
Closure to “<i>River Flood Routing by Nonlinear Muskingum Method</i>” by Yeou‐Koung Tung (December, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 12)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
River Flood Routing by Nonlinear Muskingum Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The linear form of the Muskingum model has been widely applied to river flood routing. However, a nonlinear relationship between storage and discharge exists in most actual river systems, making the use of the linear model ...
Point Rainfall Estimation for a Mountainous Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several point rainfall estimation techniques including the conventionally used arithmatic average and normal ratio methods, inverse-distance method, modified normal ratio method, and method of using linear programming model ...
Closure to “<i>Point Rainfall Estimation for a Pqpntainous Region</i>” by Yeou‐Koung Tung (October, 1983)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Mellin Transform Applied to Uncertainty Analysis in Hydrology/Hydraulics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In hydraulic and hydrologic design and analysis, engineers frequently face uncertainties involving quantities that cannot be assessed with absolute accuracy. Under such circumstances, uncertainty analysis is undertaken to ...
Discussion of “<i>Pollutant Washoff under Noise‐Corrupted Runoff Conditions</i>” by G. G. Patry and A. Kennedy (September, 1989, Vol. 115, No. 5)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effects of Uncertainties on Optimal Risk‐Based Design of Hydraulic Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydraulic structures are designed with reference to some natural events that could be imposed on the structure during its anticipated service life. Due to the existence of various uncertainties, the design of hydraulic ...
Groundwater Management by Chance‐Constrained Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A stochastic groundwater management model for a confined, homogenous, and nonuniform aquifer is developed using the concept of response function in the linear system theory. The Cooper‐Jacob equation is used to develop the ...
