Cross-Entropy as an Optimization Method for Bridge Condition Transition Probability Determination
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Much research has been carried out in recent years as to the most appropriate manner in which to obtain suitable transition probabilities for use in Markovian-based infrastructural deterioration models. Although many ...
A Statistical Measure for Wavelet Based Singularity Detection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a statistical measure for the identification of the presence, the location, and the calibration of the strength of singularity in a signal or in any of its derivatives in ...
Nondetection, False Alarm, and Calibration Insensitivity in Kurtosis- and Pseudofractal-Based Singularity Detection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work isolates cases of nondetection, false alarm, and insensitivity for a general class of problems dealing with the detection and characterization of existence, location, and extent of singularities embedded in signals ...
New Approach to Multisite Downscaling of Precipitation by Identifying Different Set of Atmospheric Predictor Variables
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Estimating reliable projections of precipitation considering climate change scenarios is important for hydrological studies. General circulation models provide future climate simulations at large scale in terms of large-scale ...
Novel Probabilistic Resilience Assessment Framework of Transportation Networks against Extreme Weather Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Construction Risk Management in Iraq during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Challenges to Implementation and Efficacy of Practices
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The main challenges and barriers facing the effective implementation of risk management (RM) practices in the construction industry have increased the ceiling of challenges associated with the implementation of construction ...
