A Novel Approach for Advancing Asphalt Pavement Temperature and Flow Number Predictions Using Optical Microscope Algorithm–Least Square Moment Balanced Machine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt pavement performance is crucial for the sustainable management of road infrastructure. However, achieving accurate predictions remains challenging due to the complex interactions among materials, environmental ...
Novel Optical-Inspired Rain Forest for the Explainable Prediction of Geopolymer Concrete Compressive Strength
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an extraordinary material for promoting sustainable development in the construction industry and reducing environmental risk. However, material properties, such as compressive strength, are ...
Slope Collapse Prediction Using Bayesian Framework with K-Nearest Neighbor Density Estimation: Case Study in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slope failures across mountain roads can damage man-made structures, interrupt traffic, and give rise to fatal accidents. Disastrous consequences of these hazards necessitate the approach for predicting their occurrences. ...
Integrating Chaotic Initialized Opposition Multiple-Objective Differential Evolution and Stochastic Simulation to Optimize Ready-Mixed Concrete Truck Dispatch Schedule
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Delivering ready-mixed concrete (RMC) efficiently to construction sites is a practical concern and one of the most challenging tasks for RMC batch managers. Batch plant managers must consider both time and order factors ...
Opposition-Based Multiple-Objective Differential Evolution to Solve the Time–Cost–Environment Impact Trade-Off Problem in Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current competitive conditions in the construction market require that construction companies satisfy customer needs using increasingly tight project budgets. The key indicators of success currently used on most construction ...
Slope Collapse Prediction Using Bayesian Framework with K-Nearest Neighbor Density Estimation: Case Study in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slope failures across mountain roads can damage man-made structures, interrupt traffic, and give rise to fatal accidents. Disastrous consequences of these hazards necessitate the approach for predicting their occurrences. ...
GIS-Based Cost Estimates Integrating with Material Layout Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study is focused on developing an automated site layout system for construction materials. The system, MaterialPlan, including a geographic information system (GIS) based cost estimates system integrated with material ...
Hybrid Artificial Intelligence–Based PBA for Benchmark Functions and Facility Layout Design Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Facility layout design (FLD) presents a particularly interesting area of study because of its relatively high level of attention to aesthetics and usability qualities, in addition to common engineering objectives such as ...
Reengineering of Construction Management Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Applying the business process engineering philosophy, this study focuses on developing a construction management process reengineering (CMPR) method to improve the efficiency of construction management. The CMPR method ...
Risk Score Inference for Bridge Maintenance Project Using Evolutionary Fuzzy Least Squares Support Vector Machine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridges are essential infrastructure of the transportation network. Therefore, maintenance tasks are mandatory to prevent these structures from degradation over time. In practice, funding availability for maintenance ...
