Abstract: Identification of system parameters by recorded accelerographs on base-isolated bridges during earthquakes provides an opportunity to investigate the performance of such bridges. Stiffness degradation in reinforced concrete ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of insoluble starch xanthate (ISX) for removal and recovery of heavy metals [

Abstract: This paper deals with determination of actual design moment in the flexural design of ultradeep reinforced concrete rafts. Due to diagonal crack in concrete, the workpoint of the internal tension-compression couple resisting ...

Abstract: Deep generative models have shown significant promise in improving performance in design space exploration. But there is limited understanding of their interpretability, a necessity when model explanations are desired and ...

Abstract: In order to compute the constraint moments and forces, together referred here as wrenches, in closed-loop mechanical systems, it is necessary to formulate a dynamics problem in a suitable manner ...

Abstract: A formal Bayesian methodology is presented for integrated model calibration and risk-based water quality management using Bayesian Monte Carlo simulation and maximum likelihood estimation (BMCML). The primary focus is on ...

Abstract: Tibial component loosening is an important failure mode in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) which may be due to the 6–8 mm of bone resection required. To address component loosening and fixation, a new early ...

Abstract: Use of industrial by-products as raw materials in concrete is becoming necessary to address the sustainability of both the concrete and the industrial growth. The present study assesses the potential of imperial smelting ...
