Abstract: In this paper, a four-step safety integrity level (SIL) analysis is developed to analyze numerous components of the subsea control system based on the OREDA database. For this purpose, initially, a failure mode classification ...

Abstract: Existing research on built environment’s impact on nonmotorized travel behavior has focused on neighborhood-level factors. However, because people live and work at a regional scale—using transit and cars to access jobs and ...

Abstract: Undeniably, climate-change-induced sea-level rise has served as a powerful driving force for the occurrence of coastal storms more severe than ever before. Low-lying metropolitan coastal areas, in particular, have become ...

Abstract: In-stream grade-control hydraulic structures have been employed to reinstate riverbeds, to protect riverbanks, and to improve aquatic habitats. This paper aims to study scour phenomena and morphologies downstream of ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations showing the mean and fluctuating velocity fields of a three-dimensional round wall jet in counterflow are presented. The ratios of jet to counterflow velocity ranged from 2.5 to 25 and the jet ...

Abstract: Vortex drop structure is used to convey water through underground conduits in urban sewers and drainage systems. During the plunge, a large volume of air is entrained into the water and then is released from the drop shaft ...

Abstract: Abstract In relation to the recognition of merging structure with architectural design, there has long been ambiguity between theory and practice in architectural education. While students understand the relationship of ...

Abstract: Scour characteristics downstream of rock W-weir structures were studied in a horizontal straight channel and under clear water conditions. For each structure, different hydraulic conditions were considered, including ...

Abstract: Supercritical flow below chute piers generates an aerated flow known as rooster tail. Their behavior varies along the spillway or chute for different Froude numbers. This paper aims to analyze the effect of various parameters ...

Abstract: Stream deflectors are in-stream hydraulic structures that limit the flow channel width, thereby accelerating the flow through the constricted section. Single-wing and double-wing log deflectors are the two most commonly ...
