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.

Reliability‐Constrained Pipe Network Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new methodology for incorporating reliability considerations directly into least‐cost optimization design models for looped water distribution networks is presented. The essence of the methodology is the measurement of ...
Water Allocation Conflicts on the Canadian Prairies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The conflicts between water demands for energy production and irrigation development on the Canadian prairies and the available supply are reviewed. The water requirements for energy production in the western provinces of ...
Battle of the Network Models: Epilogue
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several models that can be used to optimally size water distribution pipes were applied to a hypothetical system. The results are summarized in this paper. The models produced solutions with costs that were within 10% of ...
Discussion of “<i>Obtaining the Layout of Water Distribution Systems</i>” by William F. Rowell and J. Wesley Barnes (January, 1982)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Reliability-Based Optimal Design of Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new approach for reliability-based optimization of water distribution networks is presented. The approach is capable of recognizing the uncertainty in nodal demands and pipe capacity as well as the effects of mechanical ...
Probabilistic Model for Water Distribution Reliability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two-stage methodology for assessment of reliability of water distribution networks recognizing uncertainties in nodal demands, pipe capacity, reservoir/tank levels, and availability of system components is proposed. In ...
Is Rational Decision Making Appropriate for Management of Irrigation Reservoirs?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing rational metrics of performance used to identify optimal reservoir management policies are examined to determine if they adequately measure the desirability of a water release strategy. It is shown that such ...
