An inclusive framework for automatic safety evaluation of roundabouts
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This article presents an approach for studying different aspects of traffic safety at roundabouts. An automated safety analysis framework is used to detect different types of traffic conflicts, as well as the inappropriate ...
Investigating the reasons for choosing a major among the engineering students in Qatar
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The selection of an engineering major is a decision that can influence the career of young students, and possibly their entire fife. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors affecting the selection of an ...
Determination of stiffness modulus and poisson's ratio of lightly stabilized granular materials from indirect diametral tensile testing
(
ASTM International
, 2016 , Article)
Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterised by their tensile properties that are required for the analysis and design of a pavement structure involving these materials. Tensile properties ...
Progressive image stitching algorithm for vision based automated inspection
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The increasing number of skyscrapers along with the large number of tall bridges throughout the world also increases the demand of a robust, automated and remotely controlled health monitoring system for civil architectures. ...
Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
(
Thomas Telford Services Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and the ...
State-of-the-Art Review on Sustainable Design and Construction of Quieter Pavements-Part 2: Factors Affecting Tire-Pavement Noise and Prediction Models
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article Review)
Traffic noise is a combination of noises produced from a number of sources. Of all the traffic noise sources, tire-pavement noise, which is emitted as a result of the interaction of rolling,slipping, or dragging tires and ...
Nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm for ambient vibration response: Utilizing artificial neural networks and self-organizing maps
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
This study presentes a new nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm that integrates self-organizing maps with a pattern-recognition neural network to quantify and locate structural damage. In this algorithm, ...
The link between high performance work practices and organizational performance: Empirically validating the conceptualization of HPWP according to the AMO model
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
Purpose � The purpose of this paper is to better understand the relationship between high-performance work practices (HPWP) and organizational performance through a multi-dimensional model of the relationship between HPWP ...
Self-organizing maps for structural damage detection: A novel unsupervised vibration-based algorithm
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
The study presented in this paper is arguably the first study to use a self-organizing map (SOM) for global structural damage detection. A novel unsupervised vibration-based damage detection algorithm is introduced using ...
Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
