Although dam failures are not very common in the course of engineering history, they can be catastrophic disasters causing many life losses, so they need to be investigated. Dam failures are difficult problems to analyze ...

In this paper, wavelet transform coherence is implemented to examine the impacts of hydroclimatological variables on water level fluctuations in two large saline lakes in the Middle East with a similar geographical location, ...

Emotional artificial neural network (EANN) is a cutting-edge artificial intelligence method that has been used by researchers in the engineering and medical sciences over the recent years. First introduced in the 1999s, ...

Rainfall is considered the hardest weather variable to forecast, and its cause-effect relationships often cannot be expressed in simple or complex mathematical forms. This study introduces a novel hybrid model to month ...

The growing concern about global climate change and its adverse impacts on societies is putting severe pressure on the construction industry as one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases. Given the environmental ...

Wakes and vortices are commonly observed in fluid flows around bluff bodies, a phenomenon which is called vortex shedding. Such vortices are named as von Kármán vortices since their first investigation is performed by the ...

The main purpose of this study is to respond to an important question in the field of structural engineering: is the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed concentrically steel braced frames acceptable or not? The ...
