RISPerceptions of Process Quality in Building Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Delphi process and a questionnaire survey are conducted to investigate the differences in the perceptions of entry-level professionals and long-time practitioners with regard to process quality in building projects. The ...
Factors That Affect Process Quality in the Life Cycle of Building Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The factors that affect process quality in the three phases (design, construction, and operation) of the life cycle of a building project are identified and ranked by degree of importance. The perceptions of long-time ...
Determining Attribute Weights in a CBR Model for Early Cost Prediction of Structural Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compares the performance of three optimization techniques, namely feature counting, gradient descent, and genetic algorithms (GA) in generating attribute weights that were used in a spreadsheet-based case based ...
Using Decision Trees for Determining Attribute Weights in a Case-Based Model of Early Cost Prediction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compares the performance of three different decision-tree-based methods of assigning attribute weights to be used in a case-based reasoning (CBR) prediction model. The generation of the attribute weights is ...
Nondestructive Experimental Measurement, Model Updating, and Fatigue Life Assessment of Çarşamba Suspension Bridge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper includes the structural condition assessment of a 164-m suspension bridge in accordance with numerical and experimental methods. A finite-element model was developed using SAP2000 software so that the assessment ...
Retrofitting Effect on the Dynamic Properties of Model-Arch Dam with and without Reservoir Water Using Ambient-Vibration Test Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Continuous health monitoring and regular condition assessment is of vital importance for engineering structures in general and especially for arch dams. These structures can be exposed to many different loads such as ...
Automated Model Updating of Historical Masonry Structures Based on Ambient Vibration Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finite-element (FE) model updating is a very effective procedure for determining the uncertainty parameters in a structural model and minimize differences between experimentally and analytically identified dynamic ...
Dynamic Characteristics of an Arch Dam Model before and after Strengthening with Consideration of Reservoir Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This technical note presents an investigation about the changing of dynamic characteristics of an arch dam model before and after strengthening considering reservoir water. To this end, an arch dam-reservoir-foundation ...
