Abstract: Unique challenges arise when projecting dynamic site response in a deep, steep sided, irregularly shaped, sediment-filled basin. The influence of shallow sediments on site response was investigated for a

Abstract: This paper focuses on automatic summarization of multiple engineering papers. A summarization approach based on documents’ macro- and microstructure has been proposed. The macrostructure consists ...

Abstract: This paper presents a two-level integrated optimization system for use in generating the candidate set of optimal evacuation plans that serve as the input for simulation-based evacuation systems. In the proposed system, ...

Abstract: An efficient method is presented to characterize the damage state for two-dimensional multicracked elastic solids. This method is based on the concept of a path-independent

Abstract: In recent years, green building has drawn the attention of both academics and practitioners and experienced rapid growth. In order to achieve the concept of sustainable development in the project life cycle of green building, ...

Abstract: Improving the performance of risk management has become necessary, and the concerns over the teaching of risk management are increasing. This research aims to explore the key contents of a risk management course and provide ...

Abstract: The management of design rationale (DR) in engineering design is an important task since DR is often regarded as crucial information in design decision support and design analysis. The existing ...

Abstract: In this study, a flexible Fourier stationary test is applied to evaluate the convergence of China’s urbanization. Whether regional urbanization is suitable for each region varies, but it is important for China’s harmonious ...

Abstract: Risk management is a critical part of construction project management. Most previous studies on construction project risk management (PRM) have focused on the project level rather than the enterprise level. The objective ...

Abstract: Alleviating the pressure due to increasing freight transportation traffic by using low-emission and innovative transportation methods can reduce a number of problems, such as transportation network capacity limits and ...
