Predicting Equilibrium Scour Depth at Bridge Piers Using Evolutionary Radial Basis Function Neural Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Scouring of bridge piers is a major cause of bridge failure worldwide. Thus, designing safe depths for new bridge foundations and assessing/monitoring the safety of existing bridge foundations are critical to reducing the ... -
Inexact Optimization Model for Supporting Waste-Load Allocation in the Xiangxi River Basin of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In this study, a large-scale inexact two-stage waste-load allocation (ITS-WLA) model is developed to identify desired decision alternatives for supporting economic development and water quality management. In this model, ... -
Localization and Quantification of Concrete Spalling Defects Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)During construction and maintenance of concrete structures, it is important to achieve and preserve good surface quality of their components. The current quality assessment for concrete surfaces, however, heavily relies ... -
Departure Time Optimization of Last Trains in Subway Networks: Mean-Variance Model and GSA Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Last-train timetable coordination is extremely complex because a number of transfer directions involve in the subway network. In this paper, transfer redundant time (TRT) and transfer binary variables (TBV) that affect ... -
Strip-Based Approach for the Simulation of Mixed Traffic Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Vehicles in homogeneous traffic follow lane-based movement and can be conveniently modeled using car-following and lane-changing models. The former deals with longitudinal movement behavior, while the latter deals with ... -
