How Much Do Plumbers Make?
If you are wondering, how much do plumbers make? The normal price range for plumbers is $178-$482. However, this usually depends on the job size and location. When you have…
Optimal Matching between Vehicle Speed and Lighting at Intersection Based on Traffic Risk Analysis | ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part A: Civil Engineering | Vol 9, No 2
AbstractSmart streetlamps, which can automatically adjust luminance by sensing information about passing vehicles, are gradually becoming an integral part of smart cities. However, when choosing a matching scheme between intersection…
Green Infrastructure in Series Reduces Thermal Impacts of Stormwater Runoff | Journal of Sustainable Water in the Built Environment | Vol 9, No 2
AbstractStream temperatures across the world are increasing due to changes in land use and climate, especially in urban areas. This leads to hydrologic urban heat islands, where higher water body…
Minimum Energy Requirements of Pipeline Pumping | Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management | Vol 149, No 4
AbstractThis paper establishes the minimum amount of energy required by a simple system, a benchmark established on the basis of current technology and the requirements by energy regulators, weighting costs,…
Dynamic Properties of Expansive Soil-Rubber under Freeze–Thaw Cycles | Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering | Vol 35, No 4
AbstractSoils mixed with recycled waste rubbers have been widely used in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. However, the research on rubber-soil mixtures in deep seasonally frozen regions is relatively lacking, so…
The Role of Reservoir Reoperation to Mitigate Climate Change Impacts on Hydropower and Environmental Water Demands | Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management | Vol 149, No 4
AbstractAdapting reservoir operation to a changing climate is important to improve water system performance toward benefits including water security, and energy production. However, managers still need to know if and…
Ember Alerts: Assessing Wireless Emergency Alert Messages in Wildfires Using the Warning Response Model | Natural Hazards Review | Vol 24, No 2
AbstractWhen evacuation is necessary in a wildfire event, affected communities must be alerted and warned of the imminent danger and instructed on what to do to protect themselves. One channel…
Validating Commonly Used Indicators for Community Resilience Measurement | Natural Hazards Review | Vol 24, No 2
IntroductionThe concept of resilience has gained an incredible amount of attention over the past two decades and has been increasingly applied in fields of study focused on climate change, natural…
Shear Behavior of Low-aspect-ratio Precast Bridge Columns with Grouted Sleeve Connection Considering the Effect of Axial Load Ratios | Journal of Bridge Engineering | Vol 28, No 4
AbstractTo promote accelerated bridge construction (ABC), precast bridge columns are now being more widely used in engineering applications. Researchers have often studied the seismic performance of precast bridge columns, but…
Design-Oriented Machine-Learning Models for Predicting the Shear Strength of Prestressed Concrete Beams | Journal of Bridge Engineering | Vol 28, No 4
AbstractThe shear behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) beams is a complex problem because there are many influential parameters involved. Currently, the code-based shear strength of PC beams is primarily based…
