Water Quality Analysis and Corrosion Potential of the Distribution Network of Patna, Bihar, India
Authors Saurabh Kumar, MTech Reena Singh, PhD Nityanand Singh Maurya, PhD Abstract Drinking water distribution system water quality can be affected by chemical and microbial processes. A change in the chemical concentration of water is a result of pipe scaling...
Compression Waves in Semi-circular Channel
Authors Emelia Dara Soechiarto, BEng Davide Wűthrich, PhD Hubert Chanson, PhD, DEng Abstract Partially filled pipe flows are commonly observed in urban hydraulics, sewers and road crossings.The occurrence of a compression wave in the confined space may result...
Water Surface Profile Prediction in Compound Channels with Vegetated Floodplains
Authors Marzieh Mohseni, PhD Amineh Naseri, MSc Abstract Floods have become one of the most dangerous and frequent natural disasters. Most rivers are characterised by compound cross-sections that are usually contain vegetation. The ability to simulate water...
Tensile Performance of Headed Anchors in Steel Fiber Reinforced and Conventional Concrete in Uncracked and Cracked State
Author(s) Panagiotis Spyridis and Nikolaos Mellios Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is currently the material of choice for a broad range of structural components. Through the use of SFRC, the entire, or a large portion of, conventional rebar...
