Therefore, we studied the proposed methodology on the existing water and wastewater system infrastructure in California. Conclusions The growth in variable renewable electricity has led to an increasing need for grid flexibility services. Energy storage is one way of addressing this need. In this ...
Adjustments to lower the new weir elevations planned for the flow distribution structure, commonly referred to as the pentagon struc- ture, to allow for higher flow rates. Replacement of the existing filter flow con- trol orifices with slightly larger orifices. (All of the filters in the ...
Although we study the case of the thin-skinned JFTB in the first place, our model results may be applied to other fold-and-thrust belts worldwide that deformed above pre-existing basement structures. Some examples among others, where inherited structures are proposed to have exerted an ...
Subsequently, the proposed strategies and methods will be presented to replace the existing conditions with sustainable alternatives. 1.1 Aims and Objectives The main aim of this paper is to create an overall environmentally friendly, economic, and socially positive spaces for occupants to enhance their...
The root cause of problem had been identified through new geotechnical investigations and engineering solution was proposed to stabilize dam section. The rectification measures involved revival of old rock toe, strengthening of dam by constructing gabion wall at toe of starter dam with geotextiles and ...
A novel retrofitting technique for precast concrete industrial frame buildings, based on tension-only monolateral dissipative devices mounted on steel braces, was proposed by Bruno Dal Lago [18]. These braces act as energy fuses and can provide additional stiffness and relevant hysteretic damping to ...

They proposed a three-stage energy improvement plan including changes in eight different parameters. The first, second, and third energy improvement levels decreased the annual energy consumption of villa-type residences by 13.79%, 19.27%, and 56.9%, respectively. As for apartment-type residences, ...
Ground elevations in this region range from approximately 1053.5 to 1054.96 m, resulting in a relative height difference of approximately 1 m. The area where tunneling is planned beneath the underground passage primarily consists of gravel and silt. The geological profile is depicted in Figure 2. ...
The proposed methodology consists of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of alternative solutions of upgrades, considering the reduction in the wave overtopping discharge (q) and the wave forces (F) by limiting costs and environmental impact. The definition of the KPIs was developed on the basis of...
