RISDetermination of Viscoelastic Properties of Soil and Prediction of Static and Dynamic Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper employs a general and direct method to determine the time-dependent stress–strain behavior of soil using a Prony series parameter fitting. The rheological stress–strain data obtained from the relaxation test of ...
Criticality Assessment of Lifeline Infrastructure for Enhancing Disaster Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In normal and hazardous situations, critical infrastructure systems such as roads, bridges, electricity, gas, and waste treatment facilities play a very crucial role in sustaining communities and industries. It is thus ...
Seven-Layer Classification of Infrastructure to Improve Community Resilience to Disasters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Community resilience to natural disasters depends to a large extent on the adequacy of infrastructure services provided through multidimensional interdependent systems during postdisaster recovery. In the aftermath of a ...

Abstract: Community resilience to natural disasters depends to a large extent on the adequacy of infrastructure services provided through multidimensional interdependent systems during postdisaster recovery. In the aftermath of a ...
Application of ANN for Estimating Time-Variant Structural Reliability of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using Approximate Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deterioration of RC structures with the passage of time due to aggressive environment leads to reduction of strength, stiffness, and reliability of the structure. Generally, for assessing reliability or failure probability ...
Global Warming and Its Implications for Seismic Fragility and Risk Assessment of RC Bridges Affected by Chloride Ingress and Aging
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Given that modern RC structures are expected to last much longer than 50 years, understanding how climate change impacts the service life of RC structures holds utmost significance. Recent research on climate change ...
Effects of Bulk Water Chemistry on Autogenous Healing of Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Autogenous healing can occur when hairline cracks in concrete repair themselves through reactions with water and/or constituents in water. The chemistry of water contacting the cement affects whether the crack heals ...
Nucleus Implant Parameters Significantly Change the Compressive Stiffness of the Human Lumbar Intervertebral Disc
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nucleus replacement by a synthetic material is a recent trend for treatment of lower back pain. Hydrogel nucleus implants were prepared with variations in implant modulus, height, and diameter. ...
Surface- and Air-Temperature Studies in Relation to Land Use/Land Cover of Nagpur Urban Area Using Landsat 5 TM Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Continuously changing temperature trends within the urban regions are worth noticing. This paper investigates the influence of land use/ land cover (LU/LC) of an urban area on the air temperatures. Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper ...
Analysis of the Higher-Order Partial Correlation between CII Best Practices and Performance of the Design Phase in Fast-Track Industrial Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fast-track project delivery strategy is designed to leverage the ability to execute the design, procurement, and construction phases simultaneously to substantially reduce the overall project duration. The successful ...
