Abstract: The effectiveness of vibration-based methods in damage detection of a typical highway structure is investigated. Two types of full-scale concrete structures subjected to fatigue loads are studied: (1) Portland cement ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates that it is feasible to use either the

Abstract: This study aims at differentiating construction project critical success factors based on organizational backgrounds of project participants: contractor, construction manager (owner representative), and design firms. ...

Abstract: The external fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams is a well-established technique for structural rehabilitation and upgrade. In the present work, an analytical solution ...

Abstract: The decision tree algorithm is one of the most common techniques of inductive learning. This paper investigates the use of wrapper methods for bagging, boosting, and feature selection to improve the prediction accuracy of ...

Abstract: This paper provides a historical perspective on computing research in civil engineering, as reflected in the

Abstract: Waste optimization models are vital to reduce the trim loss in the cutting process of steel reinforcement. Unfortunately, waste minimization is frequently considered as a pure mathematical problem, which is solved apart ...
