RISInnovative Computational Intelligence-Based Model for Vulnerability Assessment of RC Frames Subject to Seismic Sequence
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Previous earthquakes have shown that for structures that experience a significant ground motion with only minor damage, there is a likelihood of severe damage or complete collapse during the aftershocks. Due to the importance ...
Damage Severity Quantification Using Wavelet Packet Transform and Peak Picking Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This article aims to present the results of an investigation on detection and quantification of damage location and severity for steel structures using wavelet packet transform for denoising the initial signals, in combination ...
Shear Failure Capacity Prediction of Concrete Beam–Column Joints in Terms of ANFIS and GMDH
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Vulnerability assessment of structures in an earthquake is one of the most important topics in structural engineering. HAZUS instruction is the code widely used for assessment of structures for satisfied damage based on ...
Innovative Approach for Moment Capacity Estimation of Spirally Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Swarm Intelligence–Based Algorithms and Neural Network
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative equation to predict the moment capacity of spirally reinforced concrete columns with high accuracy using a combination of neural network and metaheuristic optimization ...
Innovative Models for Capacity Estimation of Reinforced Concrete Elements in Terms of Soft Computing Techniques
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames, the performance of the whole structure to provide a suitable strength against lateral loads depends on the behavior of each structural element. Therefore, the capacity of such ...
Mechanical Property Prediction in Silica Fume and Crumb Rubber–Modified Concrete: Soft Computing and Experimental Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To address the environmental impact of greenhouse gases in cement production, incorporating cement substitute materials is crucial. However, the slow degradation of discarded tires poses environmental challenges, making ...
Risk Evaluation and Prioritization in Bridge Construction Projects Using System Dynamics Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bridges are the indispensable arterial transport of a country. Iran, as a vast country, needs to develop a variety of road transportation inside and outside cities. Accelerating construction procedures and controlling costs ...
Influence of Steel Fiber Characteristics on Mechanical Behavior of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Samples of roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) were crafted using hooked-end steel fibers to explore the impact of the fiber aspect ratio (AR) and fiber volume fraction on the Vebe time (VBT), mechanical properties, ...
Critical Factors Influencing the Labor Productivity of Mass Housing Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction productivity has declined in most countries because construction projects are complex systems, and their performance levels are constantly changing under the influence of multiple interacting factors. During ...
Enhancing Pounding Hazard Assessment: Investigating Rubber Bumper Behavior in Base Isolation Systems during Earthquakes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Seismic vibrations naturally induce significant horizontal displacements, resulting in collisions between neighboring buildings when there is insufficient spacing. Pounding, which occurs primarily in tall buildings, leads ...
