Abstract: Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are emerging as transformative platforms for different geospatial applications. In these scenarios, multidestination path planning becomes critical due to their energy limitation. ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a fully probabilistic and analytical measurement framework for assessing the resilience of linear power-distribution systems affected by hurricane wind. The topology of rural power-distribution systems ...

Abstract: The use of images, whether in routine maintenance, or postearthquake reconnaissance, has quickly become the preferred approach to record and archive the exterior damage of existing infrastructure. Postsurvey analysis of ...

Abstract: Remotely sensed satellite imagery of an earthquake-affected region can significantly assist in estimating the severity of infrastructure damage. Modern high-resolution satellite systems have been launched to provide users ...

Abstract: The lateral impact of barges is a vital load case for river-crossing bridges. In addition, flood-induced scour has been recognized as a leading cause of bridge failure. However, current bridge performance assessment often ...

Abstract: The field data of the girder’s level and key section’s stress of Beijing Fifth-ring Road Shijingshan cable-stayed bridge are presented and analyzed in detail in this paper. The test results are in accordance with the ...

Abstract: River-crossing bridges are often subject to multiple hazards, including foundation scour, seismic attacks, and environmental degradation. When river-crossing bridges are in service, they should be restored rapidly after ...

Abstract: Optical imaging techniques have been commonly used in civil engineering practice for aiding the archival of damage scenes and more recently, for image-based damage analysis. However, an evident limitation in the current ...
