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.

Assessment of Probability Distribution of Dissolved Oxygen Deficit
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water quality modeling and prediction in a stream environment is complicated by the occurrence of a number of random processes. Due to the complexity of water quality model, the analytical derivation of the exact probability ...
Site Vulnerability Assessment for Wellhead Protection Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology is presented for assessing the relative risk of a given chemical inventory to produce a ground-water contamination event in accordance with wellhead protection (WHP) planning. Modeled after the U.S. Environmental ...
NOM and Trace Metal Attenuation During Storm-Water Infiltration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increasing practice of infiltration in disposal of storm-water runoff leads to concerns over the long-term quality of receiving ground waters. To ensure that best management practices are employed, understanding the ...
Ecology Ditch: A Best Management Practice for Storm Water Runoff Mitigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A full-scale physical model of a modified infiltration trench was constructed to test a new storm water best management practice called an ecology ditch. The ditch was constructed using compost, sand, and gravel, and a ...
Stochastic Fluid Travel Times in Heterogeneous Porous Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytic approach is developed for quantifying the distribution of fluid passage times in a heterogeneous porous medium. The basic methodology employed utilizes a diffusion theory description for the displacement of a ...
Simplified Approach to Particle Tracking Methods for Contaminant Transport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At issue is the common use of Gaussian distributed steps in producing the desired dispersive effects in contaminant transport modeling. Shown are alternative solutions to the governing transport equation describing mass ...
