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.

Operational Optimization: Water Losses versus Energy Costs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Management efficiency of water distribution networks (WDNs) is of relevant interest for the water industry, and operational optimization plays an important role. The energy to pump water is a significant element of operational ...
Modeling Local Water Storages Delivering Customer Demands in WDN Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water distribution network (WDN) models account for customer-demands as water withdrawals concentrated in nodes. Customer-demands can be assumed to be constant or varying with nodal head/pressure entailing demand-driven ...
Considering Actual Pipe Connections in Water Distribution Network Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The classical assumption of representing total demand along a pipe as two lumped withdrawals at its terminal nodes is hitherto common. It is a simplification of the network topology which is useful in order to drastically ...
New Modularity-Based Approach to Segmentation of Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Complex and/or large size water distribution networks (WDNs) require the division of the hydraulic system into modules to simplify the analysis and the management tasks. In the modern science of networks, the modularity ...
Operational and Tactical Management of Water and Energy Resources in Pressurized Systems: Competition at WDSA 2014
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimal management of water and energy resources worldwide is a basis for environmental and socioeconomic sustainability in urban areas, which has become even more relevant with the advent of the smart and water sensitive ...
Operational and Tactical Management of Water and Energy Resources in Pressurized Systems: Competition at WDSA 2014
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimal management of water and energy resources worldwide is a basis for environmental and socioeconomic sustainability in urban areas, which has become even more relevant with the advent of the
Optimal Water Distribution Network Design Accounting for Valve Shutdowns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hydraulic system functioning is determined by the boundary conditions (e.g., network topology, pipe resistances/diameters, tank levels, status of control devices, and status of pumps). Shutdown of isolation valves to ...
Demand Components in Water Distribution Network Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Solving water distribution network hydraulics depends to a great extent on demand representation in the related simulation models. The classical approach of simulation models for water distribution networks (WDNs) is ...
