RISQuantifying the Relative Change in Maintenance Costs due to Delayed Maintenance Actions in Transportation Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Identifying optimal maintenance policies for transportation infrastructure such as bridges, is a challenging task that requires taking into account many aspects relating to budget availability, resource allocation and ...
A New Approach to Detect and Characterize Intermittent Atmospheric Oscillations: Application to the Intraseasonal Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a method, the local mode analysis (LMA), that makes it possible to extract the most persistent oscillations present in the time evolution of an atmospheric field. This method is particularly suitable ...
Empirical Validation of Bayesian Dynamic Linear Models in the Context of Structural Health Monitoring
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bayesian dynamic linear models (BDLMs) are traditionally used in the fields of applied statistics and machine learning. This paper performs an empirical validation of BDLMs in the context of structural health monitoring ...
Arctic Amplification of Anthropogenic Forcing: A Vector Autoregressive Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Predicting the Usefulness of Monitoring for Identifying the Behavior of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structures can be better understood when measurement data are used to improve the modeling of structural behavior. Our capacity to interpret data depends on aspects such as the choice of model class, model parameters (and ...
Performance-Driven Measurement System Design for Structural Identification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Much progress has been achieved in the research field of structural identification, which is attributable to a better understanding of uncertainties, improvement in sensor technologies, and cost reductions. However, data ...
A Global Relationship Between Trabecular Bone Morphology and Homogenized Elastic Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An alternative concept of the relationship between morphological and elastic properties of trabecular bone is presented and applied to human tissue from several anatomical locations using a digital ...
Cross-Sectional Profiles and Volume Reconstructions of Soft Tissues Using Laser Beam Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Precise geometric reconstruction is a valuable tool in the study of soft tissues biomechanics. Optical methods have been developed to determine the tissue cross section without mechanical contact ...
Wind Conditions in a Fjordlike Bay and Predictions of Wind Speed Using Neighboring Stations Employing Neural Network Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper evaluates the applicability of neural networks for estimating wind speeds at various target locations using neighboring reference locations along the south coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The stations were chosen ...
Construction and Testing of an Innovative Concrete Bridge Deck Totally Reinforced with Glass FRP Bars: Val-Alain Bridge on Highway 20 East
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Val-Alain Bridge, located in the Municipality of Val-Alain on Highway 20 East, crosses over Henri River in Québec, Canada. The bridge is a slab-on-girder type with a skew angle of 20° over a single span of
