Cost benefit analysis for failure of sewer pipelines
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Sewer pipelines failure in sewage networks can have adverse potential impacts on socio-economic aspects in any community. Due to the fact that it's difficult to capture the relationship between the physical and economical ...
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 ...
Proposed formulas for estimating splitting tensile, shear and flexural strengths, and long term deflection assessment of self-compacting concrete elements
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This paper investigated the splitting tensile and shear strengths and the modulus of rupture of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) elements with fly ash, micro silica and polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer for various ...
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 ...
Mapping the Industrial Perception of Delay Data Through Importance Rating
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The construction industry is struggling with several recorded incidents of delay due to improper planning and/or implementation of required construction measures. The common conclusion by many researchers worldwide is that ...
Performance of FRCM-Strengthened RC Beams Subject to Fatigue
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a relatively new material system developed for the repair, retrofit, and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Structures such as bridges experience ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A semi-analytical beam model for the vibration of railway tracks
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
The high frequency dynamic behaviour of railway tracks, in both vertical and lateral directions, strongly affects the generation of rolling noise as well as other phenomena such as rail corrugation. An improved semi-analytical ...
