Metanetwork Framework for Integrated Performance Assessment under Uncertainty in Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Quantification of Fatigue Damage for Structural Details in Slender Coastal Bridges Using Machine Learning-Based Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Exposed to the challenging coastal environment, slender bridges could experience significant dynamic responses and complex stress states resulting from the coupled dynamic impacts of wind, wave, and vehicle loads. Cracks ...
Building Resilience in Civil Infrastructure Systems: System-Level Biomimicry to Address Complex Managerial Challenges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This technical note proposes the adoption of biomimicry at the system level as an innovative method to help solve the complex managerial challenges for civil infrastructure resilience. Although biomimicry has been adopted ...
Modeling Uncertain and Dynamic Interdependencies of Infrastructure Systems Using Stochastic Block Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Modeling the resilience of interdependent critical infrastructure (ICI) requires a careful assessment of interdependencies as these systems are becoming increasingly interconnected. The interdependent connections across ...
Entropy-Based Diversity Quantification of Multimodal Transportation Systems: Physical Infrastructure Perspective versus Travel Behavior Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Multimodal transportation serves diverse needs and enhances the efficiency and fairness in travel. Despite the increased demands in multimodal transportation development, there lacks a comprehensive framework and associated ...
Personalized Vulnerability Assessment of Customized Low-Rise Wood-Frame Residential Structures under Hurricane Wind Loads: A Flexible Scenario-Based Simulation Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hurricanes are one of the costliest and deadliest weather and climate disasters that impact the United States, largely affecting the residential sector. Residential structures are essential for the health and safety of the ...
Investigating the Impacts of Built Environment Knowledge on Hurricane Evacuation Intentions in a College Student Sample: A Test of the Power of Information
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During hurricanes, residents’ evacuation decisions are significantly influenced by their knowledge and risk perceptions. However, many residents may lack a precise understanding of the structural integrity of their homes ...
Sensitivity Analyses of Biodegration/Adsorption Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The research was directed toward additional development and refinement of mathematical models of simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation in granular activated carbon (GAC) columns used in the treatment of low concentrations ...
Optimized Restoration Planning of Infrastructure System-of-Systems Using Heterogeneous Network Flow Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Inter- and intradependencies could lead to cascading failures in infrastructures or inefficient restoration of disrupted infrastructures. To help achieve optimized restoration of inter- and intradependent critical ...
Influence of Vehicle Inertia Force on Vertical Vibration of Long-Span Suspension Bridge under Wind and Traffic Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The long-span bridges could frequently experience complex dynamic interactions with wind and traffic, which makes the dynamic response evaluation crucial for ensuring structural and vehicle driving safety. Previous studies ...
