Predicting Buildability Using the Surface Texture of 3D Printed Concrete Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The buildability of three-dimensional (3D) printable concrete is commonly measured by the number of layers that can be printed before a collapse or excessive deformations. Buildability depends on rheological properties and ...
Optimal Sensor Placement for Time-Dependent Systems: Application to Wind Studies around Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Warm climates pose challenges to building energy consumption and pedestrian comfort. Knowledge of the wind flow around buildings can help address these issues through improving natural ventilation, energy use, and outdoor ...

A Study of Two Stochastic Search Methods for Structural Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many engineering tasks involve the search for good solutions among many possibilities. In most cases, tasks are too complex to be modeled completely and their solution spaces often contain local minima. Therefore, classical ...
Improving System Identification Using Clustering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: System identification involves identification of a behavioral model that best explains the measured behavior of a structure. This research uses a strategy of generation and iterative filtering of multiple candidate models ...
Feature Selection Using Stochastic Search: An Application to System Identification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: System identification using multiple-model strategies may involve thousands of models with several parameters. However, only a few models are close to the correct model. A key task involves finding which parameters are ...
Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Organizational Flexibility in the Construction Business
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flexibility has been touted as an important requirement for firms to survive and prosper in turbulent and volatile economic environments. The aim of this research is to investigate the relevance of organizational flexibility ...
Mathematical Models for Predicting Organizational Flexibility of Construction Firms in Singapore
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ability to predict and develop organizational flexibility is important for firms to survive and prosper in volatile business environments. The aim of this study is to investigate the constituents of and the constructs ...
