Abstract: The traditional approach to hydraulic engineering problems, such as the designing of dams or embankments or, specifically in the case of consideration, the designing of a settling basin for debris flows, is deterministic ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the silting and subsequent aggradation of the irrigation canals in Žitný Ostrov (Rye Island). The irrigation canal network, located in Southern Slovakia, was built ...

Abstract: The performance of a lab-scale biotrickling filter treating

Abstract: The influence of the opposite phases of ENSO on the frequency of extreme rainfall events over South America is analyzed for each month of the ENSO cycle on the basis of a large set of daily station rainfall data and compared ...

Abstract: Many studies performed on reinforced concrete (RC) members strengthened in flexure with externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have indicated quite low strengthening efficiency caused by debonding of the ...

Abstract: A comparison is provided between parametric and nonparametric approaches for the calculation of two drought indices: the

Abstract: This paper presents the performance of the real-time kinematic (RTK) technique in very severe conditions. The measurements were conducted in forest conditions during two different experiments. Two Global Positioning System ...

Abstract: Experimental procedures for the determination of physical properties of viscoelastic materials are discussed in this paper. Two well-known methods—a standard ASTM method and the other based on indirect measures—are compared ...

Abstract: A model to estimate volume loss of armor stones caused by abrasion under wave conditions occurring during a structure’s lifetime is proposed. It accounts only for abrasion caused by stone movements, neglecting the effects ...
