Abstract: For low-concentration solar applications, v-reflectors are attractive choice to collect sunlight since they are simple to build with reduced manufacturing cost and technical requirements. In this paper, with the account ...

Abstract: In selecting the type of maintenance or rehabilitation (M&R) activity to apply to highway pavement sections, engineers rely on several items of information. Foremost among these is the effectiveness of the various M&R ...

Abstract: This essay analyzes the crucial role of maintenance in production and service-oriented enterprises, highlighting the necessity for integrated viewpoints in contemporary corporate management. Focusing on time-based maintenance ...

Abstract: Infrastructure management is the process through which inspection, maintenance, and rehabilitation decisions are made to minimize total life-cycle cost. Condition measurement, spatial sampling, and forecasting introduce ...

Abstract: To reproduce historical stream flows, climate and land-use change studies require watershed models with physically based parameters, rather than empirical models that are simply calibrated. With this in mind, soil moisture ...

Abstract: A generalized error analysis is discussed in this paper to investigate solution accuracy for watershed simulation results using overland flow equations. The total or compounded error for watershed simulations may increase ...

Abstract: Health prognosis is an advanced approach for anticipating the future status of systems, structures, and components. While it is accepted as an important step in boosting maintenance performance and resilience of a system, ...

Abstract: Monthly precipitation hindcasts/projections for various climate change scenarios have been available for over a decade. More recently, daily precipitation hindcasts/projections using downscaled bias-corrected constructed ...
