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 ...
The effect of track load correlation on ground-borne vibration from railways
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
In predictions of ground-borne vibration from railways, it is generally assumed that the unevenness profile of the wheel and rail is fully correlated between the two rails and the two wheels of an axle. This leads to ...
Sensing and monitoring for stadium structures: A review of recent advances and a forward look
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2017 , Article Review)
Stadiums like those used for sporting or concert events are distinct from other civil engineering structures due to several different characteristics. Some challenges mainly originate from the interaction with the human ...
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 ...
Assessment of abnormally low tenders: a multinomial logistic regression approach
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
This study was performed in order to reveal factors affecting abnormally low tenders (ALTs) and to minimize negative effects of them. A thorough literature review was carried out to observe past research about the reasons ...
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) ...
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 ...
Effect of using Cement Kiln Dust as a nano-material on the strength of cement mortars
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
In this experimental study, the effects of using nano-sized Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) as a partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) on the strength of cement mortars is investigated. The CKD was milled up to 4 ...
