Structure Mixture Response Of Buildings Due To Simulated Earthquake Loading
(
Qatar University
, 2002 , Article)
This paper presents two case studies to evaluate the performance of the structure mixture theory in the earthquake response analysis of buildings. In the first case study, the actual earthquake responses of the two-story ...
Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
Preliminary Design Of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Neural Networks
(
Qatar University
, 2000 , Article)
This paper presents a backpropagation neural network model for the preliminary design of rectangular concrete beams. The model, which is developed based on the strength design procedure of the American Concrete Institute ...
Genetic algorithm-based multi-objective model for scheduling of linear construction projects
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2007 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based multi-objective optimization model for the scheduling of linear construction projects. The model allows construction planners to generate and evaluate optimal/near-optimal ...
Teaching Structural Steel Design Using Mathcad Program
(
Qatar University
, 2000 , Article)
This paper demonstrates the integration of Mathcad programming in a steel design course at the University of Qatar. It discusses the advantages of Mathcad programming over other programming formats and provides guidelines ...
Optimizing postdisaster reconstruction planning for damaged transportation networks
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2009 , Article)
The limited availability of reconstruction resources is one of the main challenges that often confront postdisaster recovery of damaged transportation networks. This requires an effective and efficient deployment and ...
