Abstract: As the concept and methods of maintenance of infrastructure systems are receiving increasing attention, the optimal maintenance strategy for a group of structures is a promising research topic. Among the factors affecting ...

Abstract: Given the impact of climate change on the society, climate adaptation for civil structures and infrastructure systems has become an urgent task. To determine an adaptation and maintenance strategy in a rigorous manner, the ...

Abstract: Bridges and pavements are two major infrastructure components of a transportation network providing mobility of freight and commodities for economic vitality and access to a range of users as social benefits. However, the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a recommender in multimodal transportation-as-a-service (MMTaaS) system that offers personalized travel planning in multimodal transportation network. The framework focuses on three key aspects: ...

Abstract: Construction collapse accidents are one of the most serious accidents. A variety of causal factors interact with each other, leading to the occurrence of accidents. Some causal factors may cause other causal factors to ...

Abstract: Natural hazards can inflict significant damage on communities. It may take a long time for hazard-stricken communities to recover from the losses induced by natural hazards. The concept of community resilience has received ...

Abstract: The risk-based approach is a powerful tool to assess the impact of hazards on bridge networks. The results of risk analysis of a bridge network can be integrated into an optimization process to obtain the optimal maintenance ...

Abstract: Seismic fragility is the conditional failure probability of reaching certain performance states under various intensities of seismic load, which is a significant part of the seismic risk and resilience assessment of ...

Abstract: In this work, we investigated the impact of moisture content on the dynamic mechanical properties of precast concrete members. The dynamic splitting impact test was applied to concrete specimens with different moisture ...

Abstract: An open-source program implementing a block-structured adaptive mesh refinement method was adopted for the fine structure numerical simulation of detonation initiation in supersonic combustible mixtures. Simulations were ...
