The results of an experimental investigation on the characteristics of the combined flow over contracted sharp-crested rectangular weirs and below contracted sharp-crested rectangular gates are presented. The experiments are carried out in a laboratory flume using various geometrical dimensions under different flow conditions. The basic principles are employed to correlate the discharge to the relevant geometrical and hydraulic parameters in nondimensional form. The experimental data are then used to develop a general nondimensional equation for predicting the discharge through the combined system knowing its geometry and the head of water over the weir. It was found that only one equation describes both horizontal and sloping channels with either mild or steep slopes. Also, the modular limit for combined flow is discussed and an equation for its calculation is presented as well. The effects of viscosity and surface tension are addressed in terms of Reynolds number and Weber number.

STOCHASTIC-ANALYSIS OF FIELD MEASURED UNSATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY
Ünlü, Kahraman; NIELSEN, DR (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1989-12-01)
Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity K values as a function of soil‐water pressure head h were measured in the soil at 75 cm depth at 70 different sites separated from one another by a distance of l m along a horizontal transect. K field was viewed as a random function of spatial location x. Field data were analyzed (1) to examine the isotropy and stationarity of K, (2) to check the ergodicity of K in the mean and covariance functions, and (3) to characterize the distribution properties of K by estimating the...
Reliability-based risk assessment in coastal projects: Case study in Turkey
Balas, CE; Ergin, A (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-03-01)
The risk of damage during the construction phase of a coastal structure was investigated by utilizing Level II and III reliability methods. Structural risks were incorporated in the planning phase of coastal projects by utilizing a practical risk management approach implemented in the Mezitli (Icel) Yacht Harbor project in Turkey. By specifying the exceedance probability of damage level at the design stage, the delay times of construction activities due to damage were obtained at the project-planning phase,...
DEMOLITION VERSUS DECONSTRUCTION: IMPACTS OF FENESTRATION DISPOSAL IN BUILDING RENOVATION PROJECTS
Elias-Ozkan, Soofia Tahira (2014-03-01)
This paper presents findings of a comparative study on the removal and disposal of fenestration units in two separate buildings, belonging to the same period and built with similar construction materials. Demolition techniques were used for removing the fenestration units from a building that was undergoing refurbishment; while, deconstruction techniques were used for dismantling similar units from another building that was being selectively demolished.
Groundwater mound due to constant recharge from a strip basin
Onder, Halil; Korkmaz, Serdar (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-05-01)
Numerical and experimental solutions to steady infiltration from a strip basin to a groundwater table of infinite horizontal extent are presented. Because of the unknown location of the phreatic surface, the flow domain is transformed into the complex potential plane using the inverse formulation method where the phreatic surfaces with and without recharge become straight lines. The method of finite differences was used to solve the boundary value problem in the transformed plane. The problem was also inves...
Closure to "Broad-Crested weirs with rectangular compound cross sections" by M. Gogus, Z. Defne, and V. Ozkandemir
Goegues, Mustafa; Defne, Zafer; Oezkandemir, Volkan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-11-01)
A series of laboratory experiments was performed in order to investigate the effects of width of the lower weir crest and step height of broad-crested weirs of rectangular compound cross section on the values of the discharge coefficient, the approach velocity coefficient, and the modular limit. For this purpose, nine different broad-crested weir models with rectangular compound cross sections and a model with a rectangular cross section were tested in a horizontal laboratory flume of 11.0 m length, 0.29 m ...
