Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in the visual inspection of structural cracks. However, blurry images are inevitably generated during image collecting by UAVs, as they are caused by the motion of UAVs ...

Abstract: Probabilistic stability analysis is an effective way to take uncertainties into account in evaluating the stability of slopes. This paper presents an intelligent response surface method for system probabilistic stability ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring models provide important information for safety control of large dams. The main challenge in developing an accurate dam behavior prediction model lies in the modeling of extreme temperature ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the influence of pile head freedom on the thermomechanical performance of a belled pile. Field tests on the belled pile response to a cooling–heating cycle and incremental structural construction ...

Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) is a pivotal technology to realizing the digital transformation of the construction industry. Lack of BIM professionals, however, is one of the reasons the application of BIM technology ...
