RISUpscaling Complex Project-Level Infrastructure Intervention Planning to Network Assets
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Probabilistic and nonlinear models have been used to accurately model various phenomena in asset management systems (AMS). With a commonly adopted framework using Monte Carlo simulation and heuristic algorithms, AMS proposed ...
Optimal Timing of the Seismic Vulnerability Reduction Measures Using Real Options Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The uninterrupted performance of the infrastructure systems of a community is essential to its welfare and prosperity. Infrastructure assets are continuously subject to degradation, which can compromise their performance ...
Spatial Agent-Based Model for Environmental Assessment of Passenger Transportation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents an urban transportation simulation model for lifecycle environmental performance evaluation (ALENT). ALENT integrates geographic information to quantify stations’ accessibility levels and construct ...

Expediting Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Infrastructure Assets under Multiple Uncertainties by Deep Neural Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deteriorating and at-risk infrastructure assets should be maintained at acceptable conditions by asset management systems (AMSs) to ensure the safety and welfare of communities. Project-level AMSs have been proposed to ...
Multiagent Reinforcement Learning for Project-Level Intervention Planning under Multiple Uncertainties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently been adopted by infrastructure asset management (IAM) researchers for adding flexibility regarding uncertainties in preventive actions decision-making. However, this relatively ...
Identifying Potential Superspreaders of Airborne Infectious Diseases in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The spread of airborne infectious diseases has largely been driven by superspreading events, in which a single individual directly infects several contacts. Superspreading events that occurred at several construction sites ...
Exploring the Relationship between CSR Reporting and Corporate Misconduct
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: While the literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been growing, there is still a limited understanding of the connection between CSR reporting and corporate misconduct, especially in cases where the ...
Membrane Model of Endothelial Cells and Leukocytes. A Proposal for the Origin of a Cortical Stress
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous models of the erythrocyte membrane have been based on the assumption that the resting curvature of the membrane is either flat or has a small curvature relative to the overall cell ...
Determining and Classifying Factors of Employees’ Expatriation Willingness Using Rough Set Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify and classify the factors affecting the expatriation willingness (EW) of engineering consulting company employees. A total of 13 EW impact factors are summarized from a review ...
