Genetic algorithm use for internally resonating lattice optimization: Case of a beam-like metastructure
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterial inspired structures, or metastructures, are structural members that incorporate periodic or nonperiodic inserts. Recently, a new class of metastructures has been introduced which feature chiral lattice inserts. ...
Improving signalised intersections performance for better built environment
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Traffic delays are still a significant part of the daily commutes in most urban areas despite significant investments in infrastructure. Policy, design and operational measures are usually taken to reduce emissions from ...
Sewer Inspection Prioritization Using a Defect-Based Bayesian Belief Network Model
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In order to successfully implement an asset management program, an accurate and reliable deterioration model for assets should be available. Deterioration models are considered as the basis for predicting and prioritizing ...
The effect of end bearings on the dynamic behavior of Floating-Slab tracks with discrete Slab Units
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Floating-slab tracks are known as one of the most effective means for reducing ground-borne vibration from railways. For such tracks, the rails are sitting on the top of a slab which is supported via resilient elements ...
Fatigue Behaviour of Lightly Stabilised Granular Materials from Flexural and Indirect Diametral Tensile Testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The fatigue characteristic of a lightly stabilized granular material under traffic loading is an important consideration for the design of a pavement containing such material. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue ...
Characterization of lightly stabilized granular base materials using monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterized by their tensile properties and this paper examines the use of monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing to determine the tensile characteristics ...
Causes of construction change orders in Qatar: Contractors' perspective
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
The construction industry involves complex processes which are prone to various changes and variations. However, it may be argued that the application of change orders within construction projects in the State of Qatar has ...
Recent issues on stadium monitoring and serviceability: A review
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Unlike most of civil engineering structures whose static and dynamic responses are estimated accurately through several codes and guidance, stadiums reserve a distinctive place especially when it comes to their dynamic ...
Quantification of structural damage with self-organizing maps
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
One of the main tasks in structural health monitoring process is to create reliable algorithms that are capable of translating the measured response into meaningful information reflecting the actual condition of the monitored ...
Automated detection of anomalies in sewer closed circuit television videos using proportional data modeling
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Sewer pipeline condition information is usually collected using closed circuit television (CCTV). Moreover, in order to evaluate the condition of pipeline, data should be processed by a certified operator, which is time ...
