Abstract: In this work, a porous road base material was studied for a load-bearing water-storing road. According to the performance analysis, asphalt and ordinary portland cement did not work well on the load-bearing water-storing ...

Abstract: In recent years, there have been an increasing number of watersheds that relied on weather radars to provide accurate precipitation information for flood warning purposes. The major impetus for using a radar-based flood ...

Abstract: The fierce positive pressure problem at the bottom of a building drainage pipe system can cause building discharge backflow or indoor environmental pollution. Full-scale discharge experiments on the vent pipe bottom position ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of infiltration losses is vital for runoff estimation and thus the development of flood design/protection criteria and water management schemes, etc. In design flood practices, the initial abstraction and ...

Abstract: Flood warning systems have become increasingly important for highly urbanized areas like the Texas Medical Center (TMC) area in the Brays Bayou Watershed of southwest Houston due to the watershed’s flood characteristics ...

Abstract: A modified coarse network model has been developed to simulate the evacuation patterns in high-rise buildings. The model can account for high-density situations as well as recording the process of an individual's locomotion ...
