RISEvaluation and Prediction of 17th Street Canal I-Wall Stability Using Numerical Limit Analyses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical limit analyses have been used to evaluate the stability of the 17th Street Canal I-wall levee during Hurricane Katrina. The potential formation of a water-filled gap along the canal-side soil-wall interface at ...
Model for Water Distribution System Reliability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hydraulic reliability of a water distribution system can be defined as the probability that the system can provide the demanded flowrate at the required pressure head. Due to the random nature of future water demands, ...
Optimization of Freshwater Inflows to Lavaca‐Tres Palacios, Texas, Estuary
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The companion paper by the writers developed a model for the determination of optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries for the purpose of balancing freshwater demands with the various types of fish harvests. This ...
New Methodology for Optimization of Freshwater Inflows to Estuaries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a general methodology for determination of the optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries to balance freshwater demands with the harvest of various types of estuarine ...
A Study on Jumping-Over-Teeth Phenomenon in Roller Chain Drive
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces the experimental device used in the research of the jumping-over-teeth in the roller chain drive, describes the differences and the similarities between the jumping-over-teeth ...
COBRA TF Simulation of DNB Response During Reactivity Initiated Accidents Using the NSRR Pulse Irradiation Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: COBRATF (Coolant Boiling in Rod Arrays–Two Fluid), or CTF, is a transient subchannel code selected to be the reactor core thermalhydraulic simulation tool in the multiphysics codedevelopment project of the Consortium for ...
Optimization of Freshwater Inflow to Estuaries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology that can be used for determining the optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries for the purpose of balancing freshwater demands with the harvest of various types of estuarine ...
Study on the Performance of Nonionic Waterborne Polyurethane and SBS Composite–Modified Emulsified Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractTo address the problem of insufficient performance of styrene butadiene styrene (SBS)–modified
emulsified asphalt in road maintenance, this study discusses the potential possibility
of further modification of ...
Numerical Analysis of Imperceptible Mechanical Behavior in Soil Arch Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The trapdoor test has been widely used to study engineering scenarios where pressure calculation methods need to be re-evaluated due to relative soil displacements. To propose a more reasonable calculation theory, over the ...
