RISMultiobjective Water Quality Model Calibration Using a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm and Neural Network–Based Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aims at coupling a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) and a neural network (NN) model for the multiobjective calibration of surface water quality models. The HGA is formed as a robust optimization algorithm through ...
Estimating the Ocean Interior from Satellite Observations in the Kerguelen Area (Southern Ocean): A Combined Investigation Using High-Resolution CTD Data from Animal-Borne Instruments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observational surface data are utilized to reconstruct the subsurface density and geostrophic velocity fields via the “interior + surface quasigeostrophic” (isQG) method in a subdomain of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current ...
Developing Professional Integrity Indicators for Chief Supervision Engineers in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Chief supervision engineers (CSEs) are often employed by owners to address issues related to health, safety, and quality at jobsites in China. Like other professional practitioners, professional ethics, especially individual ...
Multisensory and BIM-Integrated Digital Twin to Improve Urban Excavation Safety
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Urban excavation is an indispensable process for many construction activities such as road paving, house building, and pipe rehabilitation. However, the everincreasing complexity of underground utilities (e.g., water ...
Studies on the Thermal-Physical Treatment of Waste Concrete for Use in Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Demolition of buildings can generate large amounts of waste concrete, which if used effectively, can help reduce both the extraction of raw materials and carbon emissions. However, the presence of old cement mortar affects ...
REILP Approach for Uncertainty-Based Decision Making in Civil Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The civil and environmental decision-making processes are plagued with uncertain, vague, and incomplete information. Interval linear programming (ILP) is a widely applied mathematical programming method in assisting civil ...
Long-Term Use of Diatomite Slope Embankments in Warm Permafrost Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Diatomite is a highly porous media with significant water absorption and retention capacity. In order to investigate the long-term cooling effect of diatomite on a roadbed in a warm permafrost region, a diatomite embankment ...
Multiscale Method for Geometrical Nonlinear Analysis of Fluid Actuated Cellular Structures with Arbitrary Polygonal Microstructures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fluid actuated cellular structures are morphing structures inspired by the nastic movement of plants. These materials have a wide array of applications from morphing aircraft wings to soft robotics. The nonlinear shape-morphing ...
