Spatial identification and optimization of upland wetlands in agricultural watersheds

Babbar-Sebens, Meghna; Barr, Robert C.; Tedesco, Lenore P.; Anderson, Milo (Elsevier, 2013-01-24)

Wetland ecosystems are considered as potential ecological solutions for increasing the capacity of watersheds to store runoff waters upstream, and thereby, decrease risk of downstream flooding. Especially in tile-drain ...
Successive earthquake-tsunami analysis to develop collapse fragilities

Park, Sangki; van de Lindt, John W.; Cox, Daniel; Gupta, Rakesh; Aguiniga, Francisco (Taylor & Francis, 2012-07-18)

Over the last half-century, scientists and engineers have developed methods to better understand and mitigate the damage caused by tsunamis. According to U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) P646, buildings in ...
A Systems Approach to Civil Engineering Decisions

Rodriguez-Nikl, Tonatiuh; Brown, Colin B. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012-10)

While contemporary civil engineering projects are increasingly complex, the cognitive abilities of the decision maker remain limited. There is a conflict between the complexity that is required to describe a scenario wit ...
TopCAT – Topographical Compartment Analysis Tool to analyze seacliff and beach change in GIS

Olsen, Michael J.; Young, Adam P.; Ashford, Scott A. (Elsevier, 2012-08)

This paper discusses the development of a new GIS extension named the Topographic Compartment Analysis Tool (TopCAT), which compares sequential digital elevation models (DEMs) and provides a quantitative and statistical ...
Unified Approach for LRFD Live Load Moments in Bridge Decks

Higgins, Christopher; Turan, O. Tugrul; Connor, Robert J.; Liu, Judy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-11)

Current AASHTO-LRFD specifications use many disparate design provisions to establish live load demands in bridge decks. As an example, approximately 17% of Chapter 4 addresses the analysis of decks. One of the AASHTO-LRF ...
