Contribution of climatic variability and human activities to stream flow changes in the Haraz River basin, Northern Iran
(Journal of Hydro-environment Research, 2019-06)
In northern Iran’s Haraz River basin between 1975 and 2010, hydrological sensitivity, double mass curve, and Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) methods were applied to monitoring and analysing changes in stream flow ...
A computational methodology for simulating quasi-brittle fracture problems
(Elsevier: Computers & Structures, 2019-04-15)
The paper focuses on an efficient and simple methodologies for simulating the three dimensional (3D) quasi-brittle fracture problems. Strain-softening is performed on the elements by a developed anisotropic continuum damage ...
Dynamically dimensioned search embedded with piecewise opposition-based learning for global optimization
(2019-05-26)
Dynamically dimensioned search (DDS) is a well-known optimization algorithm in the field of single solution-based heuristic global search algorithms. Its successful application in the calibration of watershed environmental ...
Hydrological model supported by a step-wise calibration against sub-flows and validation of extreme flow events
(MDPI, 2019-01-31)
Most hydrological models have fixed structures and their calibrations are typified by a conventional approach in which the overall water balance closure is considered (without a step-wise focus on sub-flows’ variation). ...
Osmotic consolidation of expansive soil
(Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication, 2019)
The mechanical behavior of expansive soils is influenced by the concentration of salts in their pore water. Research
has shown that volume change of soil can occur due to a difference in salt concentration in the pore ...
