Abstract: With the increasing adoption of advanced meter infrastructure (AMI), smarter sensors, and temporary and/or permanent data loggers, it is imperative to leverage data analytics methods with hydraulic modeling to improve the ...

Abstract: Crack detection has been an active research topic for civil infrastructure inspection. Over the last few years, many research efforts have focused on applying deep learning-based techniques to automatically detect cracks ...

Abstract: With increasing concerns about infrastructure sustainability, ubiquitous sensing is an integral part of smart infrastructure in the context of smart cities. It generates large data sets containing hidden patterns and ...

Abstract: This paper presents an effective approach for calibrating an extended period simulation (EPS) model of water distribution system. By using the benchmark model calibration problem, set up for Battle of Water Calibration ...

Abstract: Cost-effective reduction of water loss is a compelling but challenging task for water utilities. This paper presents a model-based optimization method for leakage detection of water distribution systems. Leakage hotspots ...

Abstract: To understand rain microphysics at the scale of 100 km over the Yangtze River Delta in East China, the characteristics and small-scale variations of raindrop size distribution (DSD) are investigated using data from ...

Abstract: Over the last few years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been applied to detect corrosion in images. Unfortunately, the corrosion is detected in bounding boxes, without precisely segmenting the corrosion elements ...

Abstract: Seismic resilience is of great concern and vital importance for cities in earthquake zones. It is not only desirable but also mandatory for the cities to prepare an emergency response plan for possible seismic events. One ...
