RISDiversion Conduit and Low‐Level Outlet for Punchiná Dam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the design, construction, and performance of a cut‐and‐cover diversion conduit, which required applying some unconventional design concepts. The reasons for selecting a cut‐and‐cover conduit instead ...
Ensemble streamflow forecasting across the U.S. middle Atlantic region with a distributed hydrological model forced by GEFS reforecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he quality of ensemble streamflow forecasts in the U.S. middle Atlantic region (MAR) is investigated for short- to medium-range forecast lead times (6-168 h). To this end, a regional hydrological ensemble prediction system ...
Scaling of the Network Instantaneous Response Function from Basin Geomorphology and Hydraulic Geometry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A challenging problem in basin-scale hydrology is the ability to represent and quantify the nonlinearity of the output hydrograph or response. An important aspect of this challenge is to clearly distinguish among different ...
Assessment of Hydrologic Controls on Applicability of Routing Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various applicability criteria have been developed to determine the appropriateness of different hydraulic routing methods (e.g., kinematic, diffusive, or dynamic) a priori (i.e., before any routing is done). However, ...
Comparison of 2‐D and 3‐D Dynamic Analyses of Earth Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Considerable judgment is required to estimate the overall three‐dimensional dynamic response of a dam in a narrow canyon from plane strain analyses of individual sections of the dam. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper ...
Review of Archaeological Preservation and Civil Engineering Professional Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Archaeological sites continue to be discovered and explored around the world. The archaeological materials buried within these sites can be of great cultural significance, but the process of exploration and preservation ...
Single Interface Richtmyer–Meshkov Turbulent Mixing at the Los Alamos Vertical Shock Tube
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mach number and initial conditions effects on Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) mixing are studied by the vertical shock tube (VST) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). At the VST, a perturbed stable lighttoheavy (air–SF6, ...
Accurate Prediction of Wall Shear Stress in a Stented Artery: Newtonian Versus Non-Newtonian Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A significant amount of evidence linking wall shear stress to neointimal hyperplasia has been reported in the literature. As a result, numerical and experimental models have been created to ...
Improved Water Quality through Water Table Management in Eastern Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two-year field study was conducted in eastern Ontario to evaluate the effects of water table management on the quality of subsurface drain flows. Drainage discharge volumes and
Strength Reduction Factor for Flexural RC Members Strengthened with Near-Surface-Mounted Bars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines for the design of flexural RC members strengthened with externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems assign an additional partial strength reduction factor ...
