Abstract: The use of water main break history as a proxy for condition has become common practice because of the high costs associated with direct assessments. Statistical deterioration models predict future water main breaks on the ...

Abstract: Active noise control in a one dimensional acoustic duct, in which fluid medium inside the duct has a mean flow velocity, is studied. The acoustic duct model with general boundary conditions is solved in Laplace domain and ...

Abstract: Similarity solutions for the overland flow‐infiltration problem are obtained by use of a physically‐based mathematical model. The mathematical model is founded on the kinematic equations of overland flow and the Green‐Ampt ...

Abstract: A desk‐top method is presented to size detention ponds and the outlet facilities for multiple return periods. The method is based on the usual reservoir routing technique, which couples the hydrologic storage equation with ...

Abstract: A design aid is presented for sizing stormwater infiltration structures. The proposed procedure is based on the hydrological storage equation for an infiltration structure coupled with the Green and Ampt infiltration ...

Abstract: For a safe design of a bridge pier footing, it is important to estimate the maximum depth of scour as accurately as possible. The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effects of inclination of bridge piers ...

Abstract: Cogeneration systems offer an opportunity to satisfy a building’s electrical and thermal loads, which could result in an overall energy efficiency improvement and lower environmental impact. Hourly energy simulation and a ...
