The prediction of water levels in rivers is important to prevent economical as well as human losses caused by flooding. Hydraulic models are commonly used to predict those water levels and take actions to mitigate flooding ...

One-dimensional hydrodynamic models (HM) are widely used in the hydraulic modeling of rivers and channels. The result obtained with this type of model depends largely on correct estimation the roughness parameter. The value ...

There is an increasing trend for ceramic components to replace metal ones due to their excellent physical, chemical and mechanical properties. However, many of the characteristics that make ceramics so attractive also make ...

One of the main tasks of the Chilean Direccion Nacional de Vialidad and its regional and provincial secretariats is to determine the maintenance requirements of its roads. In developing countries, most roads managed under ...

This paper developed a methodology for estimating Abbott-Firestone curves from the roughness parameters of the material probability curves. The surface roughness profile obtained in plateau-honing processes is the ...
