Abstract: The performance of moment‐resisting connections between precast columns and precast partially prestressed beams was investigated. The specimens represented exterior beam‐column joints. The only variable among the specimens ...

Abstract: A survey on the evolution of modeling and simulation (M&S) technologies related to multiphysics systems is presented. The concept of a context space for M&S is defined in terms of ...

Abstract: The changes in subgrade moisture conditions play an important role in the in-service performance of a pavement. These conditions are sensitive to environmental conditions, such as a rise in the water table, precipitation, ...

Abstract: Vortex generators (VG) are widely used in multifunctional heat exchangers/reactors for augmenting the heat transfer from fin plates to the working fluid. In this study, numerical simulations for longitudinal VGs are performed ...

Abstract: The nonparametric probabilistic method (NPM) for modeling and quantifying modelform uncertainties is a physicsbased, computationally tractable, machine learning method for performing uncertainty quantification and model ...

Abstract: In this article, we examine the influence of bolt threads on the tensile rupture strength of the net section corresponding to single-bolt double-lap connections in pultruded materials made of dicyclopentadiene-based ...

Abstract: Research on preconstruction delays has been limited, mainly focusing on identifying delays and ranking risks using traditional methods. This study introduces a new quantitative framework to evaluate risks by modeling them ...

Abstract: Designing a large-scale complex system, such as a city of the future, with a focus on sustainability requires a systematic approach toward integrated design of all subsystems. Domains such as ...

Abstract: This paper compares the performance of four finite-element modeling techniques reported in the literature used in evaluating the wheel load distribution factors of steel girder bridges. A typical one-span, simply supported, ...

Abstract: While preconstruction delays have significant ramifications on all aspects of a project, they are often overlooked. Existing research studies focused on preconstruction delay factors as isolated events without considering ...
