RISComprehensive Fall-Risk Assessment of Construction Workers Using Inertial Measurement Units: Validation of the Gait-Stability Metric to Assess the Fall Risk of Iron Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In construction worksites, slips, trips, and falls are major causes of fatal injuries. This fact demonstrates the need for a safety assessment method that provides a comprehensive fall-risk analysis inclusive of the effects ...
Innovative Linear Formulation for Transportation Reconstruction Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Following disasters, the pace of restoring transportation networks can have a significant impact on economic and societal recovery. However, reconstruction and repair efforts are typically faced by budget constraints that ...
Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine for Vibration-Based Damage Assessment Using Transmissibility Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traditional vibration-based damage assessment approaches include the use of feed-forward neural networks. However, the slow learning speed of these networks and the large number of parameters that need to be tuned have ...
Fracture Mechanics-Based and Continuum Damage Modeling Approach for Prediction of Crack Initiation and Propagation in Integral Abutment Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Piles in integral abutment bridges (IABs) are prone to fatigue damage crack attributable to cyclic load caused by daily and seasonal temperature variations. Previous research has shown that the fatigue life of these piles ...
TDVRP and BIM Integrated Approach for In-Building Emergency Rescue Routing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Routing decisions for rescue and evacuation are critical for emergency-response missions. For infrastructures with large and complex geometric spaces, routing decisions could be facilitated with automated approaches for ...
BIM Log Mining: Measuring Design Productivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There has been a long debate on how to measure design productivity. Compared to construction productivity, design productivity is much more difficult to measure because design is an iterative and innovative process. Today, ...
Evaluation of Vision-Based Measurements for Shake-Table Testing of Nonstructural Components
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During an earthquake, freestanding equipment and contents in a building may experience large complex 3D motion. Depending on the geometry, mass distribution, and support mechanism (e.g., wheels, casters, legs) of the object, ...
Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Macrotexture and Microtexture Morphology of Pavement Surface Using Six Light Sources–Based Photometric Stereo with Low-Rank Approximation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Inadequate skid resistance of pavement surface is a substantial reason for traffic accidents. There is a close relationship between sliding resistance and characteristics of texture morphology, demanding high precision and ...
Comparison of Five Evolutionary Algorithms for Optimization of Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, five models based on evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are introduced and compared for the optimization of the design and rehabilitation of water distribution networks. These EAs include the genetic algorithm ...
Interpreted Information Exchange: Systematic Approach for BIM to Engineering Analysis Information Transformations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transforming a building information model to an engineering analytical model is tedious and time consuming. With the current state of interoperability, after importing the building information model, the designer makes ...
