Abstract: Predicting the deterioration of high mast light poles (HMLPs) can support capital planning and asset management for highway agencies, such as inspection and maintenance prioritization decisions. This paper aims to develop ...

Abstract: Accurate water quality prediction can support the early warning of water pollution in water resource management. However, it remains challenging because of hydrological uncertainties in the single scale. A multimodal water ...

Abstract: Although the ingress of chloride into concrete is normally controlled by absorption and diffusion mechanisms, external loads can affect this process by modifying the microstructure of concrete. To predict the chloride ...

Abstract: Reservoir inflow forecasting plays an essential role in reservoir operation and management. Considering the characteristics of monthly inflow (trend, seasonality, and randomness throughout the hydrologic year), an additive ...

Abstract: A reliable forecasting model for daily water consumption would provide the data basis for scheduling urban water supply facilities. In this paper, a variable-structure support vector regression (VS-SVR) model is developed ...

Abstract: This paper presents studies on the properties of fresh and hardened semilightweight self-consolidating concrete (SLWSCC) mixtures, produced with two types of manufactured coarse lightweight aggregates (LWA) and normal ...

Abstract: This paper presents a system of systems (SoS) Biofuel model considering the interdependency among the systems involved in biofuel development, including biofuel refinery location, transportation infrastructure, agricultural ...
