Abstract: The laboratory testing of concrete has shown that elevated temperatures cause air permeability index (API) increase and elastic modulus

Abstract: Despite advances in computing technology and derivation of explicit approximation formulas, the experimentally verified and widely applicable Colebrook–White friction factor formula is often rejected in favor of the limited ...

Abstract: Vortex formation at intakes can cause damage, clogging, reduced flow efficiency, and even loss of life. For practical prediction of vortex risk, engineers often compare expected design parameters with published data by ...

Abstract: Retention basins are an effective and common means of flood control. Differing from detention, retention fully contains a particular storm event, using infiltration as the primary means of disposal. For a complex watershed ...

Abstract: Since the early part of the twentieth century, two-dimensional limit equilibrium (2DLE) analysis has been the scientific community’s primary means of slope stability calculation. However, it is well established that the ...

Abstract: In response to the growing need for statistical information regarding slope stability risk analysis, this work applies inferential analysis to a compiled database of 157 failed slopes and corresponding 301 safety factor ...

Abstract: A slope stability model is derived for an infinite slope subjected to unsaturated infiltration flow above a phreatic surface. Closed form steady state solutions are derived for the matric suction and degree of saturation ...
