Blind identification of the Millikan Library from earthquake data considering soil-structure interaction
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
The Robert A. Millikan Library is a reinforced concrete building with a basement level and nine stories above the ground. Located on the campus of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena California, it is ...
Modelling the degradation of vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete beams due to flexural damage
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper presents an improved crack model incorporating non-linearity of flexural damage in concrete to reproduce changes in vibration properties of cracked reinforced concrete beams. A reinforced concrete beam model ...
Classification tree analysis of factors affecting parking choices in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Qatar has experienced a significant population growth in the past decade. The growth has been accompanied by an increase in automobile ownership rates leading to parking problems especially in the capital city of Doha. The ...
Comparison of SimTraffic and VISSIM Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools in Modeling Roundabouts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Abstract SimTraffic and VISSIM are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modeling arterial roads with signalized intersections and roundabouts. This study compares the performance of the two simulation ...
Mitigation of railway-induced vibration by using subgrade stiffening
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Railway-induced ground vibration is often associated with sites with soft ground. Stiffening of the subgrade beneath the railway track is one particular measure that has potential to reduce the vibration level at such ...
A comparative study of the treatment of ethylene plant spent caustic by neutralization and classical and advanced oxidation
(
Academic Press
, 2015 , Article)
The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...
Inexpensive strengthening technique for partially loaded reinforced concrete beams: Experimental study
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2015 , Article)
This paper constitutes a special importance for developing countries where an affordable trowel-based strengthening system is needed. This paper also provides an affordable strengthening solution when it is not possible ...
Experimental determination of carbamate formation and amine protonation constants in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system and their temperature dependency
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The equilibrium constant for the formation of carbamate in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system was evaluated at different CO2 loadings, different temperature values, and different amine protonation constant. The studied ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
