Safety Assessment of the Community Facilities for the Prevention of Pedestrian Fall Incidents: Concrete Footpaths and Walkways
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Concrete pavers and slabs commonly are found in a variety of community settings, such as footpaths and walkways. However, their features of slip resistance have not been investigated meticulously for the prevention of slip ... -
Network Deterioration Prediction for Reinforced Concrete Pipe and Box Culverts Using Markov Model: Case Study
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Reinforced concrete (RC) pipe and box culverts are widely used as an alternative to bridge structures in road transport networks around the world. The deterioration of the RC culverts is a complex problem caused by combined ... -
Structural Fire Modeling Strategies for Exposed Mass Timber Compartments and Experimental Gaps for Model Validation
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Exposed mass timber is being increasingly used for tall hybrid structures due to its sustainability features, rapid construction time, and the aesthetic desire to see exposed timber. However, there are currently many ... -
Bridge Performance Warning Based on Two-Stage Elimination of Environment-Induced Frequency
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Bridge modal frequency is an important parameter reflecting its overall property change and widely used for bridge condition assessment. However, the effects of multiple environmental conditions on the modal frequency will ... -
Innovative Optimization Model for Planning Upgrade and Maintenance Interventions for Buildings
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Building operation and maintenance costs are reported to be the longest and most costly phase of a building’s life cycle, where it exceeds costs of design and construction. Although buildings are regularly maintained, ... -
Maintenance Framework for Subway Network Systems Using BIM
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The subway is one of the most important public infrastructure systems able to accommodate huge numbers of passengers daily and across the world. Hence, governments are always obliged to provide and secure a large amount ... -
Multioutput Image Classification to Support Postearthquake Reconnaissance
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)After hazard events, large numbers of images are collected by reconnaissance teams to document the post-event state of structures, and to assess their performance and improve design procedures and codes. The majority of ... -
Using Snapshot Data of Deficiency and Generic Deterioration to Predict the Degradation of Building Elements
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The typical approach to modeling building degradation is based on consecutive visual inspections using generic deterioration ratings to characterize the conditions of elements. Our research used snapshot data to capture a ... -
Classification of Multistates of Internal Damage in Concrete Based on Convolutional Neural Network Analysis of Time-Frequency Images
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Computer vision based on machine learning theory has been widely used in the surface damage detection of concrete structures, but the characterization of internal damage in concrete still remains a challenge for researchers. ... -
Exploring Architectural Design Factors Affecting Building Maintainability and Strategies to Overcome Current Shortcomings
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)The design phase is when most critical decisions are made in terms of building maintainability. However, process-oriented empirical studies that identify problem factors and develop strategies remain lacking. Based on this ... -
Hydromechanical Coupled Analysis of Water Inrush in a Karst Cave-Fracture Rock System: A Case Study
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)The water diversion tunnel of the Suki-Kinari hydropower station in Pakistan passes through deep valleys with karst caves. Water and mud inrush disasters occurred during tunnel construction because of the adequate water ... -
Failure Analysis and Safety Assessment of Offshore Platform under Different Ship Collision Scenarios by Numerical Simulation
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Quantitative safety assessment of offshore platforms under ship collision is a hot topic. Numerical simulation is a powerful tool to evaluate the damage and failure mode of offshore structures under collision. This paper ... -
Investigation of Poor Ride Quality in Steel-Bridge Girders Made Composite with Concrete Decks
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)This case study focuses on excessive and undesired deformations that occurred during construction of newly rehabilitated steel bridges. The case study responds to problems with elevation control and subsequent ride quality ... -
Causes, Risk Analysis, and Countermeasures of Urban Road Collapse in China from 2019 to 2020
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Urban road collapse seriously threatens people’s lives and property. In recent years, with the accelerating pace of urbanization in China, the number of road collapse accidents (RCAs) has been increasing. Based on 334 RCAs ... -
Performance Evaluation of Soil and Water Conservation Constructed Structures in Drought Prompt Areas of Satara, India
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Along with the varied climate, topography, and uncertain rainfall, the ever-increasing population has resulted in lowering the groundwater level by 2 m to 3 m in many areas of the Satara district. The present ... -
Multiorder Detection of Bridge Modal-Frequency Anomalies Considering Multiple Environmental Factors
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Because bridge modal frequency is inevitably influenced by environmental factors, and single-order frequency is possibly insensitive to some damage conditions, frequency anomaly detection will fail. Therefore, conducting ... -
