ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Approach to Estimate Hydraulic Conductivity Function from Soil–Water Retention Curve for Noncohesive Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pavement materials are prone to damage due to mechanical loadings and rainfall infiltration. The rainfall initiates moisture movement within the layers and accelerates the damaging rate. A better understanding of the ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Shallow Foundation on Cohesionless Soil Based on Surrogate-Based Numerical Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper develops an approach that utilizes kriging surrogate models for the reliability-based design of geotechnical structures. Surrogate models improve the computational efficiency and reduce the complexity of ...
Reliability-Based Robust Design of Raft Foundation and Effect of Spatial Variability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Geotechnical design considers different limit states of design. Conventional deterministic design methodology uses the factor of safety approach, while reliability-based design and robust design methodology use probability ...
Probabilistic Analysis of Radionuclide Transport for Near-Surface Disposal Facilities in Spatially Varying Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The long-term safety of radioactive waste disposal facilities is ensured by developing performance assessment models. The general requirement of these models is to assess the risk caused by failure of disposal systems that ...
Remediation of Typical Municipal Solid Waste Dumpsite in Bangalore City
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an approach to retrofit an existing municipal solid waste (MSW) dumpsite by enhancing the bioremediation process. The current practice of containing the waste in dumpsites/landfills is considered ...
Role of Biokinetic Parameters in the Methane Emission Characteristics of MBT Waste
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Biokinetic parameters have been extensively used to decide on the treatment methodology of a waste. Although literature reports studies on biokinetic parameters in wastewater treatments, their significance in the anaerobic ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Flexible Pavements Using Kriging Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the design of flexible pavements, the target reliability levels can be achieved through a number of structural design alternatives by varying the design parameter (i.e., thickness and resilient moduli) combinations. ...
Probabilistic Design of Gas Collection Systems for a Prototype Bioreactor
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prototype bioreactor studies are becoming an increasingly common approach to assessing municipal solid waste degradation in landfills, owing to their greater potential for monitoring and control. Though reports of several ...
Effect of Rainfall Infiltration on the Stability of Compacted Embankments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rainfall infiltration causes the collapse of unsaturated embankments due to loss of suction. In this paper, the Barcelona Basic Model (BBM), a constitutive model developed for unsaturated soils, was implemented in Fast ...
