Abstract: This study aims at deriving intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves from bivariate rainfall frequency analysis using the copula method, which does not assume the rainfall variables to be independent or normal or have the ...

Abstract: A nonlinear relationship between peak discharge and runoff volume (or depth = volume per unit area or rainfall amount), reported in the literature, was derived based on the standardized peak discharge distribution (SPDD) ...

Abstract: A common approach to multivariate flood frequency analysis is to apply discharge time series records with the same length (i.e., one upstream and one downstream discharge gauge in the same river for bivariate flood frequency ...

Abstract: The structural integrity of buried pipe is always threatened by explosive loads. To investigate the mechanical response of a buried steel pipe under multiple explosions, pipe–soil interaction models in soil and rock layers ...

Abstract: Bioretention has significant potential for reduction of bacterial levels in urban storm-water discharge. The long-term performance of bacteria removal was evaluated using column studies over an 18-month period, during which ...

Abstract: Aeration is an effective in situ remediation technique to accelerate the stabilization process and reduce the odor’s concentration of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The distribution of oxygen in a landfill is crucial ...
