RISModeling of Chloride Spatial Variability in a Reinforced Concrete Wharf from Onsite Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Chloride ingress by diffusion is the major deterioration process of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to the marine environment. These structures have significant lengths or surfaces exposed to the outside ...
A Novel Air Curtain Mitigation System for a Toxic Gas Storage Tank
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A mitigation system is significant in that it blocks the flow of toxic gas and prevents the growth of hazardous areas, thereby securing sufficient evacuation time. A new air curtain mitigation system was developed to prevent ...
Design Optimization with Variable Screening by Interval-Based Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design optimization problems are very common in engineering practice. Determining their solution may be challenging when many design variables are involved. A means to cope with such large number of design variables consists ...
Navigation Decision-Making Method of Complex Multitype Ships’ Routing Waters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The navigation decision-making method has attracted increasing attention in recent years. However, most of the research is concentrated on open waters. This study proposes a navigation decision-making method suitable for ...
Operational Influence Line Identification of High-Speed Railway Bridge Considering Uncertainty of Train Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The bridge influence line (BIL) contains static information for each section of a bridge, which is an important tool for bridge design and condition evaluation. The current influence line identification procedure relies ...
Track Geometry Estimation and Hanging Sleeper Detection Using Vehicle Dynamic Responses with Unknown System Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents an efficient, but effective, approach to infer railroad track geometries and locate hanging sleepers from the car body responses. A half-car model is employed to represent the bounce and pitch motions ...
Data-Driven Telecommunication Outage Prediction during Hurricane Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Telecommunication infrastructure (TI) has become an indispensable part in modern society, and its functionality is especially vital to emergency response during hurricanes. This study bridges the gap of lack of quantitative ...
Risk Identification, Prioritization, and Mapping for Early Construction Cost Contingency in Transportation Infrastructure Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) require reliable early construction cost estimates for project budgeting. Typically, project budgets are established early in the development process before finalizing a project’s ...
A Quasi-Binomial Regression Model for Hurricane-Induced Power Outages during Early Warning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hurricanes can cause devastating damage to overhead distribution lines leading to large power outages in electric grids. Power outage prediction models can help utilities to plan for an expedited power recovery by identifying ...
System Identification via Unscented Kalman Filtering and Model Class Selection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Identifying the mechanical properties of civil structures is required for life-cycle assessment. Kalman filters are exploited for this goal, enabling the online update of a numerical model, acting as the digital twin of ...
