The Strength Law of Coconut Shell Fiber–Reinforced Soils Based on the Hardin–Drnevich Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A large diameter triaxial specimen of 61.9 mm was made by mixing coconut shell fibers with red clay soil. The shear strength of coconut shell fiber–reinforced soil was investigated using a dynamic triaxial shear test with ... -
Optimal Sensor Placement in Smart Sewer Systems Using Network Topology and Elevation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Smart sewer systems consisting of water level sensors can effectively detect overflow events that may present a threat to water quality, human health, and the environment. Designing the optimal layout of the sensor with ... -
Enhancing Resilience of Intermittent Water Supply Systems to Power Outages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)An estimated 1.3 billion people in South Asia, Latin America, and Africa receive water for domestic purposes through piped networks for limited periods, referred to as intermittent water supply (IWS). Electricity ... -
Integration of Incomplete Mixing at Junctions of Water Distribution Networks in Contamination Source Identification Tools
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The water quality models used in contamination source identification (CSI) tools assume complete mixing at the junctions of drinking water distribution networks. Two extensions of the contamination status algorithm (CSA)—a ... -
Enviro-Technical Assessment of Social Responses to Water Demand Management Policies Facing Water Scarcity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Because cities are particularly vulnerable to freshwater scarcity, optimal water usage is critical for urban resilience, addressing health concerns, and meeting basic human needs, particularly in water-scarce regions. ... -
Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Flood Risk in Massachusetts Environmental Justice Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)During the past decade, changing population dynamics in Massachusetts raised concerns about inequitable exposure to floods in historically underserved communities. To examine the interplay between socioeconomic and demographic ... -
Greedy Budget Allocation for Optimizing the Performance of Water Distribution Systems under Intermittent Supply Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Intermittent water supply is a prevalent strategy employed in water distribution systems (WDS) facing deteriorating conditions. However, this approach can have several drawbacks, including insufficient supply, pressure ... -
Improving Restoration of Water Supply Service Following Disruptions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Actions taken to restore water supply service after a disruptive event can greatly influence the ultimate duration of outages, and thus the impacts on households and businesses. It is important, therefore, to design postevent ... -
Phased Methodology for the Optimal Rehabilitation of a Network with an Intermittent Water Supply Based on Hydraulic Criteria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The intermittent supply of drinking water represents a major technical and social challenge, affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. This paper proposes a methodology with three stages to rehabilitate a ... -
Multistage Many-Objective Optimization Solution Method for Battle of Intermittent Water Supply
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper presents a comprehensive framework for applying multistage many-objective optimization methods to the Battle of Intermittent Water Supply (BIWS) problem, as part of the WDSA & CCWI 2022 conference. Given the ... -
Retention Time in the Golden Horn Estuary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper presents the results of a numerical study on the retention time in the Golden Horn, a natural estuary that connects with the Bosphorus Strait at the point where the Bosphorus meets the Sea of Marmara. The numerical ... -
Characterizing the Shape Effect and Stability Coefficient of an Embankment under an S-Shaped Gully
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The embankment of an S-shaped gully (E-SSG) has a specific topography, which results in its unique shape effect. However, how the shape effect of the E-SSG is generated, how it relates to different geometric variables, and ... -
