Abstract: Vibration measurements were made on a high-rise condominium structure in Singapore to obtain its dynamic characteristics. Subsequently the response and wind characteristics were measured over a 15-month period. Based on ...

Abstract: Bridges are indispensable components of the infrastructure of modern society, and their assessment via techniques of structural dynamics is assuming greater importance. This assessment concerns performance of the as-built ...

Abstract: The structural condition assessment of highway bridges is largely based on visual observations described by subjective indices, and it is necessary to develop a methodology for an accurate and reliable condition assessment ...

Abstract: Intensive vibrations may occur in slender structures like footbridges and long-span floors due to movement of pedestrians. Problems are usually treated in the time domain as Fourier series models of the forcing function, ...

Abstract: Information on deformation is critical for bridge condition evaluation, but accurate characterization, usually via discrete displacement measurements, remains a challenging task. Vision-based systems are promising tools, ...

Abstract: Experimental and analytical modal analysis and in-operation vibration measurements were performed on the massive concrete structural floors of several structurally connected ‘units’ of a six-level, multitenant industrial ...

Abstract: Structural temperature is an important form of loading for bridges, particularly for long-span steel structures. In this study, the temperature distribution of the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom is investigated using ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of advanced labor demand forecasting models at project level. A total of 11 manpower demand forecasting models were developed for the total project labor and ten essential trades. Data ...

Abstract: Appropriate training can only be developed if training needs for specific skills are carefully identified. This paper, further to an aggregate model developed previously, aims to forecast the occupational share of the ...
