RISStochastic Optimization of Reservoir Operation by Applying Hedging Rules
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The high percentage of reliability of water resources systems has always been considered as a positive advantage by users. However, in arid and semiarid areas in which the flow rate of the reservoir is highly variable, it ...
Classification of Nondestructive Evaluation Tasks for Reinforced Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods have received growing acceptance in many testing tasks in the assessment of concrete infrastructures. Substantial progress in NDE methods for concrete structures can be achieved by ...
Sensitivity of Two Stress Wave-Based Methods for Nondestructive Evaluation of Concrete Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Integration Evaluation Framework for Integrated Design Teams of Green Buildings: Development and Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Integrated design (ID) process encourages integration of team members in the design phase of green building projects through intense collaborative processes and free exchange of information. Although integration in general ...
Validation of Strengths and Limitations of Seismic Methods in Quality Management and Assessment of Shotcrete Liners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shotcrete liners are being utilized more frequently in transportation infrastructure as retaining structures and tunnel covers. Despite their economic advantages to concrete, the initial quality of construction and long-term ...
Effect of Radial Inhomogeneity on Shear Properties of Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Radial inhomogeneity is often observed in superpave gyratory compacted specimens because of the rotational movement of the gyratory and the boundary condition imposed by the gyratory mold. The effect of the inhomogeneity ...
Assessment of Asphalt Specimen Homogeneity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The inhomogeneity of aggregates in an asphalt concrete pavement can be a primary factor in its deterioration. Statistical tests are useful for judging the extent of inhomogeneity. However, their use requires knowledge of ...
Assessment of the Elastic-Viscoplastic Behavior of Soft Soils Improved with Vertical Drains Capturing Reduced Shear Strength of a Disturbed Zone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil disturbance induced by the installation of vertical drains reduces the horizontal soil permeability and shear strength in the disturbed zone. Thus, the soil disturbance contributes to the reduced overconsolidation ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil disturbance induced by the installation of vertical drains reduces the horizontal soil permeability and shear strength in the disturbed zone. Thus, the soil disturbance contributes to the reduced overconsolidation ...
Multiobjective Optimization for Water Resource Management in Low-Flow Areas Based on a Coupled Surface Water–Groundwater Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Optimal operation of water resource systems requires understanding the interaction between the surface water and groundwater in the region of interest. Furthermore, model parameters as well as effective surface and underground ...
