Optimal Sizing of Width- and Depth-Constrained Trapezoidal Channels
Open-channels are often designed based on the assumption of uniform flow and normal depth. If a channel is to be lined with a nonerodible material, the dimensions of the channel can be...
Design of a Floodplain Road Crossing Using Two Dimensional Modeling
A two dimensional hydraulic model (FESWMS) is prepared to evaluate flood conditions for the Canal Parkway Project, located in western Maryland. The parkway includes a 32 meter bridge replacement...
Large River Diversion Optimization Considering the Uncertainties Involved
Temporary river diversion during major construction (i.e., large dams) is a challenging job. Selection of diversion system capacity and the dimension of the system components are subject...
