Hydrological Modeling with HEC-HMS in Different Channel Sections in Case of Gandaki River Basin
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 15 Issue: 2 The conceptual and physically based models can be categorized as lumped, semi-distributed and distributed. Lumped model treats the catchment area as one or more homogeneous land segments where the inputs are averaged. Distributed model explicitly represents the spatial variability by dividing the catchment into grids and modeling each grid cell individually. Semi distributed model is a c...

Effect of Different Bed Configuration on Flow Resistance under Different Flow Regimes in an Open Channel
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 15 Issue: 1 This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different bed configuration/bed-forms on flow resistance for different flow conditions in an open channel. The study was limited to investigate whether the flow resistance increases or decreases. The inter-relationship of flow discharge on the friction factor (f) and their quantitative relationship was also determined. A physical model w...

Design of Semi-Flexible and Flexible Dolphins with Concrete Pile Caps
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 15 Issue: 1 n recent years, Port and marine industry design standards were shifting their focus towards performance based and elasto-plastic limit state design criteria. Whilst performance based criteria for wharves and piers were well explained and covered by POLA/POLB1, performance based design of the dolphins was never reviewed. Current PIANC WG-332 only briefly discussed design of the flexible d...

FEM Analysis of Integral Abutment Bridges with Fixed and Pinned Pile Head Connection
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 15 Issue: 1 The comparative study on the effect of pile head connection with abutment on integral abutment bridges is presented in this paper. The influence on the design parameters such as bending moment, shear force and longitudinal stresses in deck slab has been considered. The study demonstrates that the design parameters are affected by the pile head to abutment connection. In addition, the res...

Effect of pH on Shear Strength Behavior of Granular Soil
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 15 Issue: 1 In this research, the performances of pH value on shear strength behavior of granular soil have been studied. The shear strength of soil is an important term in most of the foundation engineering problems such as the bearing capacity of shallow foundation, slope stability of dam/embankment and lateral earth pressure on retaining walls. A series of direct shear test were conducted on two ...

Fascinating Improvement in Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortar Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Ferrite Nanoparticles
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 15 Issue: 1 The Mn-Ferrite nanoparticles were prepared using citrate nitrate auto combustion method. The Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized by BET to measure the surface area. XRD data of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles clarified that the sample was formed in single phase spinel structure without any extra peaks indicating any secondary phase. The High-resolutio...

Estimating Hurricane-Induced Drift Velocity: A Case Study during Ivan
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 14 Issue: 6 During a tropical cyclone such as a hurricane, meteorological and oceanographic (met-ocean) conditions are severe. Estimates of these met-ocean parameters including winds, waves, current and storm surges are needed before and after the storm. Using Hurricane Ivan in 2004 as a case study, it is found that near surface wind measurements cannot be used to estimate waves and currents. An alt...
