Observational Analysis of Fire-Induced Spalling of Concrete through Ensemble Machine Learning and Surrogate Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite ongoing research efforts, we continue to fall short of arriving at a consistent representation of fire-induced spalling of concrete. This is often attributed to the complexity and randomness of spalling as well as ...
CLEMSON: An Automated Machine-Learning Virtual Assistant for Accelerated, Simulation-Free, Transparent, Reduced-Order, and Inference-Based Reconstruction of Fire Response of Structural Members
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper introduces CLEMSON, an automated machine-learning (AutoML) virtual assistant (VA) that enables engineers to carry acCeLErated, siMulation-free, tranSparent, reduced-Order, and infereNce-based fire resistance ...
Integrating Machine Learning Models into Building Codes and Standards: Establishing Equivalence through Engineering Intuition and Causal Logic
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The traditional approach to formulating building codes often is slow and labor-intensive, and may struggle to keep pace with the rapid evolution of technology and domain findings. Overcoming such challenges necessitates a ...
Autonomous Fire Resistance Evaluation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The structural fire engineering community has been slowly evolving over the past few decades. While we continue to favor a classical stand toward evaluating fire resistance of structures through fire experimentations, a ...
Architectural and Structural Engineering of Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Mental Health Institutions and Psychiatric Hospitals with Respect to Fire Causes and Mitigation Strategies
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper sheds light on civil facilities that are home to the underrepresented and overlooked population with mental illnesses. More specifically, this paper examines the primary architectural engineering features of ...
Experimental Investigation and Modeling of the Thermal Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Polyethylene-Terephthalate FRP Laminates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recent advancements in material sciences have led to the development of new fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems that, unlike traditional FRPs, are specifically tailored to have large fracture strains that are advantageous ...
