Abstract: Recent technological advancements are transforming the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, focusing on digitalization and automation opportunities as drivers for improvement. In a realm as complex ...

Abstract: A five‐parameter constitutive equation for Ottawa sand at one void ratio is proposed. After an expression for the strain energy function in terms of the stretch ratios is obtained, the various constants in the constitutive ...

Abstract: Two precast prestressed high-strength concrete and high-strength self-consolidating concrete pedestrian bridges were designed and erected in Rolla, Missouri, for an in situ investigative study to monitor time-dependent ...

Abstract: Missing, incomplete, implicit, and/or incorrect information are major obstacles to automated code compliance checking in the construction industry. All existing platforms for automated code checking require users to ...

Abstract: This paper describes a real-time control method for non-linear systems based on model predictive control. The model used for the prediction is a neural network because of its ability to represent ...

Abstract: Loss models used in compression system performance prediction codes are often developed from the study of two-dimensional cascades. In this paper, compressible fluid mechanics has been applied ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of laboratory tests conducted to assess the performance of a novel fluorescence-based in situ sensor for environmental contaminants. The sensor, which can be deployed downhole in a monitoring ...

Abstract: AbstractNear-real-time satellite-derived temperature and moisture soundings provide information about the changing atmospheric vertical thermodynamic structure occurring between successive routine National Weather Service ...
