Abstract: The reliability of water distribution network (WDN) designs for satisfying water demands under normal and abnormal operating conditions, including during pipe bursts and as systems age, is typically evaluated with surrogate ...

Abstract: Communities developing plans for response to tsunami require site-specific estimates of the hazard, elements at risk, and potential losses, and an assessment of the effectiveness of mitigations and protective actions. ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a fuzzy multiobjective programming model for meeting competing objectives in the optimal design of water distribution systems (WDSs). Fuzzy membership functions for minimizing the pipe network cost and ...
