Mapping flood-prone areas is a key activity in flood disaster management. In this paper, we propose new susceptibility mapping technique. We employ ensemble models based on bagging as meta-classifier and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) coarse, cosine, cubic, weighted base classifiers to spatially forecast flooding the Haraz watershed northern Iran. identified using data from Sentinel-1 sensor. then selected 10 conditioning factors predict floods assess their predictive power Relief Attribute...
Flash floods are one of the most devastating natural hazards; they occur within a catchment (region) where response time drainage basin is short. Identification probable flash flood locations and development accurate susceptibility maps important for proper management region. With this objective, we proposed compared several novel hybrid computational approaches machine learning methods mapping, namely AdaBoostM1 based Credal Decision Tree (ABM-CDT); Bagging (Bag-CDT); Dagging (Dag-CDT);...
Abstract Ensuring accurate prediction of scour depth in culverts is essential for public safety, as uncertainties traditional empirical/deterministic equations make it a challenging task. The objective this study to investigate the performance numerical models predicting culvert scour’s downstream profile, its maximum depth, and location, was carried out by using Flow-3D software with Renormalized Group (RNG) turbulence model comparing these metrics actual observed data. Two hydrographs were...
The results of an experimental study on clear-water scour at pile groups under steady flows threshold velocity are presented. A wide range group arrangements, spacing, and submergence ratios studied. Uniform bed material in a 46-m long, 1.52-m wide, 1.9-m deep flume was used to obtain comprehensive data. Empirical relations demonstrate the effects studied variables On basis findings this study, new method predict effect ratio local depth is proposed. data obtained available from literature...
Risk of flash floods is currently an important problem in many parts Vietnam. In this study, we used four machine-learning methods, namely Kernel Logistic Regression (KLR), Radial Basis Function Classifier (RBFC), Multinomial Naïve Bayes (NBM), and Model Tree (LMT) to generate flood susceptibility maps at the minor part Nghe An province Center region (Vietnam) where recurrent problems are being experienced. Performance these methods was evaluated select best method for mapping. model...
Local scour depth at complex piers (LSCP) cause expensive costs when constructing bridges. In this study, a hybrid artificial intelligence approach of random subspace (RS) meta classifier, based on the reduced error pruning tree (REPTree) base namely RS-REPTree, was proposed to predict LSCP. A total 122 laboratory datasets were used and portioned into training (70%: 85 cases) validation (30%: 37 for modeling processes, respectively. The statistical metrics such as mean absolute (MAE), root...
We proposed an innovative hybrid intelligent approach, namely, the multiboost based naïve bayes trees (MBNBT) method for spatial prediction of landslides in Mu Cang Chai District Yen Bai Province, Vietnam. The MBNBT, which is ensemble (MB) and (NBT) base classifier, has rarely been applied landslide susceptibility mapping around world. For modeling, we selected 248 locations hilly terrain study area. Fifteen conditioning factors were construction database on one-R attribute evaluation (ORAE)...
The widespread use of culverts has prompted researchers to focus on developing precise designs prevent their failure caused by scouring at the culvert outlet. This study employed physical modelling investigate alternation in outlets under different conditions, including variations shape, blockage, and flow discharge during steady unsteady conditions. Box circular were examined with 0%, 15%, 30% blockage rates inlet. For two hydrographs generated, each nine distinct discharges, while for up...
