Stochastic Analysis of the Duration of Occlusion of an Overhead Sign by a Leading Heavy Vehicle: Application to Sign Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increase in multilane expressways the use of overhead signs has also increased. A driver can miss an overhead sign because of occlusion of the sign by a leading heavy vehicle. Little or no research has been carried ...
Role of Ground Motion Characteristics on Inelastic Seismic Response of Irregular Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is no general consensus among researchers for selecting appropriate set of ground motions for the evaluation of inelastic seismic response of plan-asymmetric structures. In this backdrop, the role of important ground ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is no general consensus among researchers for selecting appropriate set of ground motions for the evaluation of inelastic seismic response of plan-asymmetric structures. In this backdrop, the role of important ground ...
Seismic Behavior of Horizontally Irregular Structures: Current Wisdom and Challenges Ahead
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In view of the stronger vulnerability of horizontally irregular structures during earthquakes, numerous studies have been made since mid-1950 s. Unfortunately, research progress in this subject does not appear encouraging. ...
Simple Model for Structural Evaluation of Asphalt Concrete Pavements at the Network Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluation of the structural conditions and estimation of the remaining structural life of each pavement section are important considerations for prioritizing the maintenance needs of any highway network. Many highway ...
Microscopic Modeling of Driver Behavior in Uninterrupted Traffic Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper a comprehensive microscopic model of driver behavior in uninterrupted traffic flow is developed. The model aims to explain or predict the actions of a driver in a variety of driving scenarios ranging from ...
Determining Reliability of an Asphalt Mix Design: Case of Marshall Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt mix design involves a number of tasks culminating in a laboratory estimation of suitable asphalt binder content which is recommended for bulk manufacture of the mix. Generally, the suitable binder content is that ...
Optimal Scheduling of Urban Transit Systems Using Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scheduling of urban transit network can be formulated as an optimization problem of minimizing the overall transfer time (TT) of transferring passengers and initial waiting time (IWT) of the passengers waiting to board a ...
Modeling Automobile Drivers’ Toll-Lane Choice Behavior at a Toll Plaza
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A toll-lane selection process at a toll plaza can be looked at as an outcome of the choice processes of individual drivers. In this paper, an attempt is made to develop a random utility-based discrete multinomial choice ...
General Multifidelity Surrogate Models: Framework and Active-Learning Strategies for Efficient Rare Event Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Estimating the probability of failure for complex real-world systems using high-fidelity computational models is often prohibitively expensive, especially when the probability is small. Exploiting low-fidelity models can ...
