RISOpportunities and Challenges of Public Participation in Post-Disaster Recovery Planning: Lessons from Galveston, TX
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: While public participation can improve recovery planning, post-disaster environments pose unique challenges and opportunities that can enhance or undermine participation depending on the recovery policies and features of ...
Inelastic Analysis of Structures Based on Stress Redistribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An important characteristic of structures that exhibit material nonlinearity is that the internal stresses are redistributed when the stiffness properties of the members change. Based on this physical characteristic of ...
Hydrologic and Environmental Impacts of Imperviousness in an Industrial Catchment of Northern Italy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increase of imperviousness due to urbanization creates adverse effects on the hydrological and environmental processes in a catchment. The increase in impervious areas leads to a higher runoff peak flow and stormwater ...
Sensitivity of the Traffic Flows in Transportation Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Obtaining the equilibrium flows in transportation networks based on optimizing users’ cost is one of the important problems in urban transportation planning. Therefore, finding accurate equilibrium flows in a short time ...
Modeling Boundaries of Concern among Conflicting Stakeholders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When public and private stakeholders gather to address a shared concern, they implicitly or explicitly bound the problem in geographic space. Implicit bounding involves identifying the problem and then considering the ...
Second Nature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Animals are the key to discovering new, physical ways of dealing with the world—to learning how to accomplish difficult tasks that many life forms undertake very efficiently like moving around, eating, drinking, storing ...
Response Surface Models to Detect and Localize Distributed Cracks in a Complex Continuum
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear response surface (RS) models are used to represent the relationship between samples of response time histories measured by sensors placed across a structure. Different structural states of a general time-variant ...
Coincidence Errors in a Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP) and a Cloud and Aerosol Spectrometer (CAS), and the Improved Performance of a Modified CDP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: entral to the aerosol indirect effect on climate is the relationship between cloud droplet concentrations Nd and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations. There are valid reasons to expect a sublinear relationship ...

Life-Cycle Assessment of Tertiary Treatment Technologies to Treat Secondary Municipal Wastewater for Reuse in Agricultural Irrigation, Artificial Recharge of Groundwater, and Industrial Usages
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Life-cycle assessment (LCA) was applied to assess the environmental impacts of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), along with 20 tertiary treatment options for reuse in agricultural irrigation, artificial recharge of ...
