Abstract: This study focuses on the development of a fracture-mechanics-based model that predicts the debonding behavior of RC beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). In this study, the existing debonding models based ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of excavation deformation and stress affects the safety of excavation engineering and the surrounding environment. However, the traditional calculation method ignores the influence of soil shear action ...

Abstract: This research focuses on a long-standing problem at construction sites: on-site information retrieval. A wearable device, therefore, has been developed that can project the construction drawings and related information on ...

Abstract: Advanced geological prediction plays an essential role in disaster prevention and safety guarantee. In this paper, by combining multiwavelet analysis with modified evidence reasoning, a new geological prediction method for ...

Abstract: Discussion is critical in identifying, predicting, and resolving potential problems in the field of construction. This process relies heavily on oral communication with the assistance of construction drawings, schedules, ...

Abstract: Prototyping use cases for augmented reality (AR) applications can be beneficial to elicit the functional requirements of the features early-on, to drive the subsequent development in a goal-oriented manner. Doing so would ...

Abstract: In loess slopes, landslides are easily caused by rainfall and can be prevented by using retaining structures of stabilizing piles. This paper investigated the deformation and mechanical behaviors of the cantilever and fully ...
