Abstract: AbstractA set of parameterizations is developed for spectral single-scattering properties of clean and black carbon (BC)-contaminated snow based on geometric-optics surface wave (GOS) computations, which explicitly resolves ...

Abstract: At the heart of a bridge maintenance management system (BMMS) is a set of performance prediction and maintenance decision-making models. If focused on quantitative methods alone, the ultimate validity of these models can ...

Abstract: The central challenge in developing deterioration models for infrastructure facilities based on field data, is the right selection of base models along with the specific nature of the available condition data. A parametric ...
