Two-Level Quality Decision Support System for Building Structural Damage Prediction and Maintenance Solution Recommendation in the Operation and Maintenance Phase
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traditional building quality management in the operation and maintenance (O&M) phase of the building life cycle has concentrated on inspection of quality defects by using new equipment or methods. However, there has ...
Unveiling the Impact of Task Conflict on Construction Project Performance: Mediating Role of Knowledge Integration
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Task conflict is prevalent in construction projects, and previous findings about the impact of task conflict on project performance are inconsistent, thereby creating challenges for effective conflict management. Using ...
Study of Flow in a Blanket Clarifier Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work simulated the flow pattern of the sludge blanket clarifier at the Bansin Water Treatment Plant, Taiwan by multiphase flow, three-dimensional analysis. The following three models were developed individually: ...
A Dynamic Optimization Model for Adjacent Signalized Intersection Control Systems Based on the Stratified Sequencing Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Machine Learning Approach to Decomposing Arterial Travel Time Using a Hidden Markov Model with Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bluetooth-based traffic detection is an emerging travel time collection technique; however, its use on arterials has been limited due to several challenges. In particular, data missing not at random (MNAR) is a common data ...
Damage Identification of Tie-Down Cables in Cable-Stayed Bridges Using Vehicle-Induced Displacement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tie-down cables are critical components of uplift-restraint bearings in bridges. Damage of a tie-down cable substantially affects the safety of a bridge and driving conditions. In this study, a damage identification method ...
Design of Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Region Controller Based on Rule Reduction, Robust Control, and Switching Concept
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new structure of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy controllers, which is called T-S fuzzy region controller or TSFRC for short. The fuzzy region concept is used to partition the ...
Damage Detection of Tension Pendulums in Cable-Stayed Bridges Using Structural Frequency Variance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Structural health monitoring represents an efficient way to diagnose the condition of cable-stayed bridges. Most studies assessing the condition of cable-stayed bridges and detecting damage to them have been developed to ...
Examining the Impact of Social Media Use on Project Management Performance: Evidence from Construction Projects in China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Team members in construction projects often fail to communicate effectively, share knowledge, and coordinate as a whole. Although many construction organizations have adopted social media technologies to improve project ...
Strengthening a 20-Year-Old Post-Tensioned Concrete Box Beam with Double-Layer Prestressed Steel Wire Ropes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Overloading, corrosion, and material aging deteriorate the structural performance of prestressed concrete (PC) bridges. Strengthening techniques are needed to improve the serviceability and extend the life of these ...
