Damage Detection in Structures Based on Feature‐Sensitive Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Detection of damage in structural systems is formulated as an inverse problem and solved by a new approach utilizing neural networks. Damage is modeled through reduction in the stiffness of structural elements, and manifests ... -
Framework of the Virtual Construction Simulator 3 for Construction Planning and Management Education
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Teaching construction planning and management is challenging, as construction projects are dynamic due to many varying and unforeseen factors. A growing number of construction-related simulations and games demonstrate the ... -

Optimizing Multiple-Resources Leveling in Multiple Projects Using Discrete Symbiotic Organisms Search
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Resource leveling is used in project scheduling to reduce fluctuation in resource usage over the period of project implementation. Fluctuating resource usage frequently creates the untenable requirement of regularly hiring ... -
Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Optimized Support Vector Regression for System Reliability Analysis of Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)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 ... -
Optimal Planning and Learning in Uncertain Environments for the Management of Wind Farms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Wind energy is a key renewable source, yet wind farms have relatively high cost compared with many traditional energy sources. Among the life cycle costs of wind farms, operation and maintenance (O&M) accounts for 25–30%, ... -
Scheduling Short-Term Recovery Activities to Maximize Transportation Network Resilience
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A stochastic, time-dependent integer program with recursive functions is proposed for the problem of assessing a rail-based freight transportation system’s resilience to disaster events. This work adds to this notion of ... -
Predicting Compressive Strength of High-Performance Concrete Using Metaheuristic-Optimized Least Squares Support Vector Regression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This research establishes a novel model for predicting high-performance concrete (HPC) compressive strength, which hybridizes the firefly algorithm (FA) and the least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR). The LS-SVR ... -
Simulation-Based Estimation of Fuel Consumption and Emissions of Asphalt Paving Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Although energy saving and emission reduction are crucial for sustainable construction, asphalt paving operations are seldom evaluated in terms of fuel consumption and emissions. Current methods for estimating fuel consumption ... -
Utilizing Telematics Data to Support Effective Equipment Fleet-Management Decisions: Utilization Rate and Hazard Functions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Contractors and equipment rental companies have started to acknowledge and use the telematics technology as a reliable solution for timely collection of their equipment fleet data. Telematics is the integration of wireless ... -
