Abstract: The construction industry involves a variety of construction works, all of which differ in terms of the frequency and probability of fatal incidents and types of accidents. Accordingly, the risk level of various construction ...

Abstract: Multicriteria analysis is widely used to prove the excellence of prefabricated construction compared with conventional construction. However, because previous studies have not presented the results of an integrated analysis, ...

Abstract: Due to small footprint and high efficiency, a Supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) power cycle is considered to be one of the promising next-generation power cycles. Although S-CO2 is reported as a powerful cleaning agent, the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new discretize-then-optimize (DTO) method for dynamic force inversion in a two-dimensional (2D) linear elastic, damped solid based on Runge–Kutta (RK) explicit time integration. Previous literature ...

Abstract: n the frequency analyses of extreme hydrometeorological events, the restriction of statistical independence and identical distribution (iid) from year to year ensures that all observations are from the same population. In ...

Abstract: Weld related fatigue failure is one of the most common concerns in welded structures. From the fatigue design point of view, weld toe failure is preferable to weld root failure. Base plate thickness is a controlling parameter ...

Abstract: Various reliability measures have been developed to evaluate design and operational aspects of water distribution system (WDS) performance. Conventional reliability indicators mainly focus on nodal supply conditions, such ...
