Abstract: This article compares three multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) with application to the urban drainage system (UDS) adaptation of a capital city in North China. Particularly, we consider the well-known NSGA-II, ...

Abstract: A new structural system, called steel frame with cold-formed steel shear infill walls (SFIW), is developed by using cold-formed steel shear walls with steel sheathing plates on both sides as infill walls in steel frame. ...

Abstract: Foamed cement-based materials possess outstanding flame resistance, fire thermal, and sound insulation, but it is difficult to obtain the desired porosity and pore size due to the complicated equilibrium relations between ...

Abstract: This paper develops a horizontal displacement estimation framework for wind-excited high-rise buildings based on limited measurements of accelerations and strains and applies it to reconstruct the displacement responses ...

Abstract: The influence of the minute elastic deformation of tool surface, named the “microwedge,” on the asperity crushing in liquid lubrication is investigated experimentally. The microwedge plays a role ...

Abstract: Thirty-four individual thermohaline sheets are identified at depths of 170–400 m in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean by using the hydrographical data measured with the Ice-Tethered Profilers (ITPs) between August 2005 ...
