Abstract: The need for skimming of fresh groundwater above a saline water body without producing an unacceptable contamination in the pumped water calls for the investigations carried out in this research work. Two axisymmetric ...

Abstract: On a curved section of highway, the cross slope of the road is often designed to be superelevated to balance the centrifugal force and gravity applied on vehicles. The accumulation of storm-water runoff (sheet flow) near ...

Abstract: This paper describes a three-parameter model used for determining the hydraulic performance of bridge rails during extreme flood events as well as two submergence models. Typically the geometry of the bridge rails is not ...

Abstract: A comparison is conducted between Monte Carlo simulation and first‐order uncertainty analysis within the framework of an exposure assessment procedure. The modeled scenario consists of contaminated soil located directly ...

Abstract: Treatment of storm-water runoff may be necessary before discharge to surface waters. In urban areas, space constraints limit selection of conventional treatment systems, and alternative systems are needed. This research ...

Abstract: An analytic approach is developed for quantifying the distribution of fluid passage times in a heterogeneous porous medium. The basic methodology employed utilizes a diffusion theory description for the displacement of a ...

Abstract: To evaluate sediment removal in dry detention basins, one of the most frequently used Best Management Practices (BMPs), a particle pathline model using plug flow assumption was proposed in a previous study. The model ...

Abstract: This paper presents a versatile two-parameter model describing the hydraulic performance of highway culverts operating under inlet control for both unsubmerged and submerged conditions. Applications show that the model can ...

Abstract: Permeable friction course (PFC) is a porous asphalt pavement placed on top of a regular impermeable roadway. Under small rainfall intensities, drainage is contained within the PFC layer; but under higher rainfall intensities, ...
