RISApplicability of Zero-Inertia Approximation for Overland Flow Using a Generalized Mass-Conservative Implicit Finite Volume Framework
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The zero-inertia approximation of the shallow water equations has been observed to provide reasonably accurate results for various flood propagation problems. The commonly adopted explicit time schemes in the numerical ...
Parameter Estimation for a System of Beams Resting on Stone Column–Reinforced Soft Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper pertains to the development of a methodology for the identification of optimal design parameters for a system of beams resting on a stone column–improved soft soil. The simulation optimization–based methodology ...
Saltwater Intrusion Management of Coastal Aquifers. I: Linked Simulation-Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A set of different methodologies are developed for multiple objective management of coastal aquifers. The coastal aquifer management models are developed using a numerical simulation model, meta-model, and the multiple ...
Saltwater Intrusion Management of Coastal Aquifers. II: Operation Uncertainty and Monitoring
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: of the developed methodology are tested for an illustrative coastal aquifer study area, as presented by Dhar and Datta. Performance evaluations show potential applicability of the developed methodologies and some of the relative advantages....
Logic-Based Design of Groundwater Monitoring Network for Redundancy Reduction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology is developed based on an optimization model solution for optimal design of groundwater quality monitoring network. Redundancy in monitoring network results in economic and overall inefficiency of the network. ...
Multiobjective Design of Dynamic Monitoring Networks for Detection of Groundwater Pollution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology is developed based on the solution of optimization models for optimal design of groundwater quality monitoring networks. The optimal monitoring network is time varying as the monitoring wells are installed ...
Interactive Evaporation of Neighboring Pendant and Sessile Droplet Pair
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this article, we experimentally probe the vapormediated interaction behavior of evaporating sessile and pendant droplets in an interacting droplet (ID) system. For this purpose, a pendant droplet was introduced in the ...
Understanding the Influence of Thermal Treatment on Phase Changes and Reactivity of Smectite for Use in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe partial replacement of cement by calcined clays is seen as one of the most important
avenues for producing low-carbon cements. However, the limited availability of kaolinite
may become a major barrier for the ...
Axial Pullout Behavior of Buried Medium-Density Polyethylene Gas Distribution Pipes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation into the axial pullout behavior of buried medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) pipes under various pulling rates. Tests were conducted in a facility developed at the Memorial ...
Assessment of Axial Pullout Force for Buried Medium-Density Polyethylene Pipelines
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The maximum axial force on a pipeline subjected to axial ground movement is commonly calculated using a design equation developed without proper consideration of soil-pipe interaction. The authors’ recent work revealed ...
