A Mixed-Integer Programming Model for the Container Truck Routing Problem with Net Worth Maximization
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2023 , Conference Paper)We address the container truck routing problem that arises in hinterland logistics, where trucking companies are responsible for transporting empty and loaded containers between various stakeholders in the shipping container ... -
The transportation problem with packing constraints
( Elsevier Ltd , 2023 , Article)We address a new variant of the transportation problem, where a set of different commodities, available at several supply nodes with different prices, are distributed to demand nodes using a set of heterogeneous vehicle ... -
A variable neighborhood search for parcel delivery by vehicle with drone cycles
( Elsevier Ltd , 2023 , Article)In spite of the growing literature on and relevance of vehicle-drone parcel delivery, the logistical impact of cyclic drone flights, in which a drone launches and lands at the same node (as opposed to distinct sites) while ... -
The cost of carrier consistency: Last-mile delivery by vehicle and drone for subscription-based orders
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2024 , Article)We investigate a deterministic last-mile delivery problem in which a firm delivering scheduled orders determines a subset of customers to be prioritized for drone delivery, relegating the rest to vehicle delivery. The ... -
Lower and upper bounding procedures for the bin packing problem with concave loading cost
( Elsevier B.V. , 2024 , Article)We address the one-dimensional bin packing problem with concave loading cost (BPPC), which commonly arises in less-than-truckload shipping services. Our contribution is twofold. First, we propose three lower bounds for ... -
Enhancing resilience in the liquefied natural gas supply chain: A focus on chemical supply continuity
( Elsevier Ltd , 2024 , Article)As the global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) surges, its pivotal role in the economy highlights the imperative of a continuous supply chain. This paper underscores the critical need for a resilient LNG supply chain ... -
An early cost estimation model for hydroelectric power plant projects using neural networks and multiple regression analysis
( Vilnius Gediminas Technical University , 2015 , Article)Energy is increasingly becoming more important in today's world, whereas energy sources are drastically decreasing. One of the most valuable energy sources is hydro energy. Because of limited energy sources and excessive ... -
Development of a safety performance index assessment tool by using a fuzzy structural equation model for construction sites
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)The main goal of this study is to propose a safety performance index assessment tool to improve the construction safety. Formulation of the safety performance index of construction sites is achieved upon a validated ... -
Assessment of change order impact factors on construction project performance using analytic hierarchy process (AHP)
( Vilnius Gediminas Technical University , 2020 , Article)Complexity is very high in construction project and constrained by money and time. Change orders are commonly required during the execution of construction projects. They may increase, omit or adjust tasks in the project. ... -
Construction contract administration performance assessment tool by using a fuzzy structural equation model
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2020 , Article)The contract administration process is inevitably complex, and improper performance of the associated tasks and procedures may lead to disputes between the contracting parties whilst further driving against the sustainability ... -
The Mosaic of Metaheuristic Algorithms in Structural Optimization
( Springer , 2022 , Article Review)Metaheuristic optimization algorithms (MOAs) represent powerful tools for dealing with multi-modal nonlinear optimization problems. The considerable attention that MOAs have received over the last decade and especially ... -
On the modeling of the annual corrosion rate in main cables of suspension bridges using combined soft computing model and a novel nature-inspired algorithm
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Suspension bridges are critical components of transport infrastructure around the world. Therefore, their operating conditions should be effectively monitored to ensure their safety and reliability. However, the main cables ... -
Novel hybrid informational model for predicting the creep and shrinkage deflection of reinforced concrete beams containing GGBFS

Investigation of the Static Bending Response of FGM Sandwich Plates
( Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz , 2024 , Article)In the present work, a displacement-based high-order shear deformation theory is introduced for the static response of functionally graded plates. The present theory is variationally consistent and strongly similar to the ... -
ITSO: a novel inverse transform sampling-based optimization algorithm for stochastic search
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Optimization algorithms appear in the core calculations of numerous Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning methods and Engineering and Business applications. Following recent works on AI's theoretical deficiencies, ... -
INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCE METRICS IN REGRESSION ANALYSIS AND MACHINE LEARNING-BASED PREDICTION MODELS
( Scipedia S.L. , 2022 , Conference Paper)Performance metrics (Evaluation metrics or error metrics) are crucial components of regression analysis and machine learning-based prediction models. A performance metric can be defined as a logical and mathematical construct ... -
ANN-BASED SURROGATE MODEL FOR PREDICTING THE LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF RC SHEAR WALLS
( Scipedia S.L. , 2022 , Conference Paper)Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are often used as the main lateral-resisting component in the seismic design of buildings. They provide a large percentage of the lateral stiffness of the structure, and therefore, they ... -
VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE STRUCTURES
( Scipedia S.L. , 2022 , Conference Paper)Cultural heritage (CH) assets are the legacy of a society that are inherited from the past generations and can give us lessons for contemporary construction. Not only the formally recognized CH assets but also the non-CH ...
