RISSteady-State Chloride Diffusion Coefficient and Chloride Migration Coefficient of Cracks in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prediction of chloride ingress is very important for the durability of reinforced concrete structures in chloride-laden environments, especially for concrete with cracks. It is expected that the chloride diffusion coefficient ...
Macromodeling Approach and Robustness Enhancement Strategies for Steel Frame Buildings with Composite Slabs against Column Loss
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents a numerical assessment of the behavior of seismically designed steel frame buildings against ground floor column loss. In the designed prototype buildings, moment frames with beam-to-column rigid ...
Fast Blur Detection Algorithm for UAV Crack Image Sets
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in the visual inspection of structural cracks. However, blurry images are inevitably generated during image collecting by UAVs, as they are caused by the motion of UAVs ...
Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Optimized Support Vector Regression for System Reliability Analysis of Slopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Probabilistic stability analysis is an effective way to take uncertainties into account in evaluating the stability of slopes. This paper presents an intelligent response surface method for system probabilistic stability ...
Estimation of Vessel-Bridge Collision Probability for Complex Navigation Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a model is proposed to evaluate vessel-bridge collision probability. A general mathematical model for navigation channels is suggested, which may be used for straight and meandering channels. The effects of ...
Modeling the Cooperation Network Formation Process for Evacuation Systems Design in Disaster Areas with a Focus on Japanese Megadisasters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By treating human relationships as networks, disaster response planners can capture the features of cooperative behaviors between residents, providing valuable insights for effective evacuation planning. In this paper, the ...
Comparison of Rain Rates over the Ocean Derived from TRMM Microwave Imager and Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface rain rates over the ocean derived from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and precipitation radar (PR) are compared and systematic differences between TMI-derived rain rates and ...
Research on Differences between Cylindrical and E-Shaped Dampers for the Bidirectional Seismic Control
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The similarities and differences between the cylindrical and E-shaped damping devices used in bridge engineering are discussed, considering technical factors such as the configuration pattern, mechanical model, hysteresis ...
Displacement Model for Concrete Dam Safety Monitoring via Gaussian Process Regression Considering Extreme Air Temperature
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Structural health monitoring models provide important information for safety control of large dams. The main challenge in developing an accurate dam behavior prediction model lies in the modeling of extreme temperature ...
Elastoplastic Behavior of Case-Carburized 18Cr2Ni4WA Steel by Indenter Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mechanical behavior of case-carburized 18Cr2Ni4WA steel is investigated by an optimization method combined with finite-element simulation based on indentation tests. For a measured load-displacement curve, the uniqueness ...
