Dynamic Forces Induced by a Single Pedestrian: A Literature Review
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2017 , Article)
With the use of lighter construction materials, more slender architectural designs, and open floor plans resulting in low damping, vibration serviceability has become a dominant design criterion for structural engineers ...
Cost based Value Stream Mapping as a sustainable construction tool for undergraound pipeline construction projects
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
This paper deals with application of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as a sustainable construction tool on a real construction project of installation of underground pipelines. VSM was adapted to reduce the high percentage of ...
Modeling and Parametric Study of the Reanchorage of Ruptured Tendons in Bonded Posttensioned Concrete
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The contribution of ruptured tendons to the residual strength of bonded posttensioned concrete structures is currently assessed based on pretensioned concrete bond models. However, this approach is inaccurate due to the ...
Effect of ageing on asphalt binders in the State of Qatar: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Ageing of asphalt binders has a significant impact on the rheological properties of asphalt binders and thus affects the performance of asphalt pavements. The rate of binder ageing is accelerated at high temperatures. This ...
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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt hydroxide carbonate nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Battery-type electrodes of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical cobalt hydroxide carbonate arrays on Ni foam were fabricated using a hydrothermal method for use in supercapacitors. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning ...
Structural damage detection in real time: Implementation of 1D convolutional neural networks for SHM applications
(
Springer
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Most of the classical structural damage detection systems involve two processes, feature extraction and feature classification. Usually, the feature extraction process requires large computational effort which prevent the ...
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. ...
Effects of amphiphilic pluronic F127 on the performance of PS/SPEEK blend ultrafiltration membrane: Characterization and antifouling study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of amphiphilic Pluronic F127 additive on the ultrafiltration performance of polysulfone (PSf)/sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) blend flat sheet membranes was investigated in the present work. Fixed ...
Temporal variation in walking behavior: An empirical study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study provides a baseline for understanding the variation in walking behavior with respect to seasonal conditions in a hot weather country in the Arabian Gulf region. A busy neighborhood with different land-use patterns ...
