Analysis of Box Culvert with Different Aspect Ratio
Abstract: Box culverts are the default buried structure type, where pipe solutions are not suitable. Their larger openings are often required to provide adequate hydraulic capacity. Box culverts are also frequently used for pedestrian or cattle underpasses. The reinforcement used in concrete box culverts can be either conventional bar reinforcement or welded wire fabric. Welded wire fabric has yield strength slightly larger than conventional bar reinforcement. Standard designs for precast concrete …

Decision tree method (Flexibility in adaptation - FIA) for evaluating the flexibility of flood risk adaptation options in Lad Krabang, Thailand
Abstract: Flexibility in planning and implementation of responses to prevent and adapt to flooding can be achieved using methods such as Real in Option (RIO), Adaptation Tipping Point (ATP) and Adaptation Pathway. However these methods lack the ability to evaluate the degrees of flexibility of the adaptation measures. Hence, this paper proposes a method for evaluating and making a comparison between a numbers of different flood prevention plans in terms of …
