Local scouring around the piers of bridges has been identified as one of the main problems
contributing to bridge failure globally. As such, the accurate prediction of safe scouring …

Scour at bridge piers is a common problem in infrastructure engineering, as local scour
around bridge piers is one of the most common causes of bridge failure. Prediction of the …

This paper proposes an iterative mathematical optimization framework to solve the layout
and hydraulic design problems of sewer networks. The layout selection model determines …

To optimize the layout of a sewer network, first, the feasible layouts of the network are
generated and then the best layout design is identified from among the numerous possible …

The control of the urban flooding is one of the major challenges currently facing decision
makers and municipalities. Flooding rates increase positively with increases in urbanisation …

Stormwater drainage networks are designed to reduce the risk of rainwater damage to the
served area. The purpose of optimizing a stormwater drainage system is to reduce overall …

Shortage in resources of water in semi-arid region as in Iraq have become an increasing
extent dangerous problem. This research objective to improve a new management …

This paper proposes a methodology for the layout selection of an urban drainage system as
an extension to the methodology for an optimal sewer network design proposed by Duque …

A Genetic Algorithm model, coupled with Finite Element Programming (GA-FEP), has been
developed to create an optimal design for hydraulic structures to address seepage …

Capacity of urban drainage systems (UDSs) can substantially influence flooding properties
of urban catchments. This motivates many studies to optimally design UDSs often using …
