Applications of Fast Fourier Transform in the Integrity Evaluation of Deep Foundations: Innovative Method for Quality Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The widespread use of drilled shafts and the large and critical nature of loads they carry make post-construction quality control a rather important aspect of inspections. For this reason, states have implemented specific ...

Experimental Validation of an Empirical Model for Computing the Diameter of Drilled Shafts during Construction Using CSL Signal Processing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Drilled shaft foundations are increasingly being used to support various types of buildings and infrastructure facilities. The load carrying capacity of these drilled shafts is largely dependent on their diameter. The large ...

Agent-Based Model for Simulating Construction Safety Climate in a Market Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A strong construction safety climate is sought after by governments, owners, and insurance providers. When making safety policy changes, legislative bodies and construction stakeholders alike try to successfully predict ...
Effect of the Number of Broken Wire Wraps on the Structural Performance of PCCP with Full Interaction at the Gasket Joint
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Broken prestressing wire wraps are the main cause of failure in prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP). The effect of the number and location of broken wire wraps on the structural performance of PCCP is investigated ...

Simulating the Thermal Behavior of Buildings Using Artificial Neural Networks-Based Coarse-Grain Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on the development of a new approach for simulating the thermal behavior of buildings that overcome the limitations of conventional heat-transfer simulation methods such as the finite difference method ...
Developments in Coarse-Grain Modeling of Transient Heat-Flow in Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The note reports on recent developments to the coarse-grain method (CGM) of modeling transient heat flow in buildings. CGM was originally developed as an alternative to conventional fine-grain modeling techniques [such as ...
Uplift Capacity and Impact Resistance of Roof Tiles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Roof coverings, particularly barrel tiles, have experienced significant damage over the last few years from storms, even weaker storms such as Category 1 Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Efforts have been made to ban mortar-set ...
