Measuring construction materials price fluctuation risk
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Construction projects costs are believed to be highly susceptible to a combination of internal and external factors. One of these factors is the prices of construction materials and the risk of their fluctuation. This paper ...
Multi-Criteria Decision Making Models for Water Pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
The deterioration of water pipelines leads to impaired water quality, increased breakage rate, and reduced hydraulic capacity. The planning of maintenance programs for water pipelines is essential to minimize health and ...
Developing a framework for calculating LCA normalization factors for the State of Qatar
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for assessing the environmental impact of materials, systems and processes used in building construction. With its ability to clarify the ambiguities of the ...
Modeling of the sustainability goal and objective setting process in the predesign phase of green institutional building projects
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
The process of constructing a sustainable green building presents a number of challenges compared with regular buildings. Additional work and documentation is needed in every stage of the project life cycle for the sustainable ...
Optimizing resource utilization during the recovery of civil infrastructure systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2010 , Article)
Postdisaster recovery efforts of damaged civil infrastructure systems need to be optimized in order to alleviate the adverse impacts of natural disasters on local societies and economies. This paper presents an innovative ...
Effect of crushable blockouts on a full-scale guardrail system
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Since the performance of the guardrail system depends in part on the compatibility of vehicle-to-roadside hardware, it is important to improve the interaction of the vehicle with the guardrail system by adding more compliance ...
Real-time vibration-based structural damage detection using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) and vibration-based structural damage detection have been a continuous interest for civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers over the decades. Early and meticulous damage detection has ...
Influence of particle morphology on 3D kinematic behavior and strain localization of sheared sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The constitutive behavior of sheared sand is highly influenced by particle morphology, gradation, mineralogy, specimen density, loading condition, stress path, and boundary conditions. The current literature lacks a ...
Optimization of linear zigzag insert metastructures for low-frequency vibration attenuation using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
Vibration suppression remains a crucial issue in the design of structures and machines. Recent studies have shown that with the use of metamaterial inspired structures (or metastructures), considerable vibration attenuation ...
Simulation-Based Condition Assessment Model for Sewer Pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
Condition assessment models are considered as an evaluation tool that can be used by decision makers to accurately evaluate and assess the condition of pipes. Condition assessment of pipes helps in reaching better decisions ...
