The Record-Breaking Hot Summer in 2015 over Hawaii and Its Physical Causes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHawaiian surface air temperature (HST) during the summer of 2015 (from July to October) was about 1.5°C higher than the climatological mean, which was the hottest since records began in 1948. In the context of ...
Analysis of the Roughness Coefficient of Overflow in a Drainage Pipeline with Sedimentation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flow resistance is a critical calculation parameter in hydraulic engineering. In this study, the roughness coefficient of a circular drainage pipe with sedimentation was investigated under open-channel flow conditions using ...
Velocity Distribution and Separation Zone Characteristics in the Confluence of the Pipeline Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ability of urban pipe networks to transport water over time is significantly affected by the sedimentation of the pipe network, particularly at the pipe confluence area, where pollutants are frequently deposited and ...
Adsorption Models and Kinetic Analysis of Molybdenum on the Sediment of the Yellow River in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Yellow River basin is rich in sediment that provides a transport carrier for the transport and diffusion of pollutants. Molybdate ions contained in the tributaries of the Yellow River are dispersed with the water and ...
Horizontal Deformation of a Tunnel Controlled by Capsuled Expansion Technique in Soft Clay: Field Trial and Numerical Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Controlling tunnel response induced by lateral excavation in soft clay has become a significant focus of modern research. Capsuled expansion is an innovative active control technique used to control the deformation of ...
Evaluation of Climate Change Impact on Drinking Water Treatment Plant Operation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a technique for evaluating the impact of climate change on drinking water treatment operations and for applying engineering principles to minimize those impacts. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ...
Effect of Sodium Hypochlorite-Activated Crumb Rubber on Rheological Properties of Rubber-Modified Asphalt
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Crumb rubber modifier (CRM) has been applied widely in modified asphalt production in the pavement industry and demonstrates many performance advantages. Further, its use makes it possible to recycle scrap tires and reduce ...
