Ground-borne vibrations due to railway traffic in urbanized areas: A numerical study about traffic in trench cross-sections
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Modern cities require efficient mass transportation systems like subway and railway networks. Due to the lack of available space and also due to environmental concerns, it is usually preferable to use the underground space ...
Behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete using steel slag coarse aggregate produced in Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The state of Qatar suffers from the shortage of natural resources needed for concrete production. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of using by-product recycled materials as aggregates to maintain ...
Modeling travel behavior based on household characteristics
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the relationship between travel behaviour based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of households in the City of Jericho, within the context of trips generation. The significance of this ...
Development of a mobile application for manual traffic counts
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The use of technology in performing traffic counts has become widely used by many transportation agencies and private sectors. Different technologies have been employed to perform such counts, such as inductive loops, image ...
The PiP model and progress in ground vibration from railways
(
Australian Acoustical Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration in the ground causes problems. At large amplitude vibration causes damage, the most obvious example being earthquake damage. But the ground motion in a damaging earthquake is typically low-frequency (below 1Hz) ...
Stadium vibration assessment for serviceability considering the vibration duration
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration problems in grandstand structures have been getting more attention due to increasing slenderness of architectural components and the complexity of crowd loading for structural designers. The vibration serviceability ...
Study on the use of low field nuclear magnetic resonance for detecting asphalt aging
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Authors of this paper recently introduced the application of Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LF-NMR) to evaluate the aging state of asphalt mix samples. This method was able to determine the aging trends of asphalt ...
Effect of surface roughening on concrete/trm bond
(
ISEC Press
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is applied on the concrete surface with the aim of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The performance of the strengthened structural system is directly related to the bond between ...
Vibration suppression in metastructures using zigzag inserts optimized by genetic algorithms
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Metastructures are known to provide considerable vibration attenuation for mechanical systems. With the optimization of the internal geometry of metastructures, the suppression performance of the host structure increases. ...
Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ...
