Abstract: This study was undertaken to address the effect of the main steel corrosion on the structural performance of RC slabs strengthened with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips and exposed to a corrosive environment. ...

Abstract: This study introduces a multiobjective optimization framework for the redimensioning of the cross-sectional elements of rural horizontal curves with limited sight distance. The optimization aims at minimizing both the risk ...

Abstract: This study examined logistics planning in the modular integrated construction supply chain (MiC-SC). Existing models overlook two important characteristics of the MiC-SC—the dynamic behavior of its stakeholders, and the ...

Abstract: Posted speed limits have a critical impact on highway safety and mobility. Increasing the posted speed limit may increase the risk of collisions and reduce the overall safety level. This study utilized a reliability-based ...

Abstract: Because existing buildings occupy most of our built environment, there is an urgent need to upgrade them considering building sustainability criteria. Therefore, many optimization models were proposed to find the optimum ...

Abstract: Existing geometric design guides provide deterministic design criteria for highway elements that ignore the uncertainty associated with many design parameters. Reliability analysis has been advocated as an approach to ...

Abstract: The one major practical difficulty associated with reinforced concrete (RC) structures strengthened with externally bonded (EB) carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets is that they must be bonded to a hard uncracked ...
