Abstract: Corrosion is a major cause of deterioration in conventional steel-reinforced prestressed concrete (PC) piles installed in aggressive (marine) environments. As foundation members in bridges, deteriorated piles may result ...

Abstract: A new method of estimating flutter derivatives using artificial neural networks is proposed. Unlike other computational fluid dynamics based numerical analyses, the proposed method estimates flutter derivatives utilizing ...

Abstract: Precedent and observation of performance are an essential part of the design and construction process in geotechnical engineering. For deep urban excavations designers rely on empirical data to estimate potential deformations ...

Abstract: An extensive series of wind-tunnel experiments were conducted in the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) Experimental Facility (EF) at the University of Florida (UF) to investigate the effect of heterogenous terrain on wind ...
