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. ...
Some observations on soil-pipe interface shear strength in direct shear under low effective normal stresses and large displacements
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Experimental work is undertaken at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to study the soil-pipe interface shear strength at levels of shear displacements and effective normal stresses typically encountered in offshore ...
A new indirect tensile testing setup to determine stiffness properties of lightly stabilised granular materials
(
Australian Geomechanics Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new indirect diametral tensile (IDT) testing setup for determining the stiffness modulus and Poisson's ratio for the characterisation of lightly stabilized granular base materials required for pavement ...
Dynamic Testing of a Laboratory Stadium Structure
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Studies with large physical models are a vital link between the theoretical work and field applications provided that these models are designed to represent real structures where various types and levels of uncertainties ...
Demonstrating the Worth of Recycled Aggregates - A Case Study from Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recycled aggregates are widely used in unbound applications in many countries. However, in some areas the materials available may not meet all the requirements of the local specifications. This is the case in Qatar, where ...
Performance of corrosion-aged Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams rehabilitated with Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
(
International Committee of the SCMT conferences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports on the feasibility of using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems to rehabilitate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Seven large-scale RC beams were constructed and tested ...
Genetic algorithm use for internally resonating lattice optimization: Case of a beam-like metastructure
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterial inspired structures, or metastructures, are structural members that incorporate periodic or nonperiodic inserts. Recently, a new class of metastructures has been introduced which feature chiral lattice inserts. ...
Improving signalised intersections performance for better built environment
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Traffic delays are still a significant part of the daily commutes in most urban areas despite significant investments in infrastructure. Policy, design and operational measures are usually taken to reduce emissions from ...
Sewer Inspection Prioritization Using a Defect-Based Bayesian Belief Network Model
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In order to successfully implement an asset management program, an accurate and reliable deterioration model for assets should be available. Deterioration models are considered as the basis for predicting and prioritizing ...
The effect of end bearings on the dynamic behavior of Floating-Slab tracks with discrete Slab Units
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Floating-slab tracks are known as one of the most effective means for reducing ground-borne vibration from railways. For such tracks, the rails are sitting on the top of a slab which is supported via resilient elements ...
