Wrapper Methods for Inductive Learning: Example Application to Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The decision tree algorithm is one of the most common techniques of inductive learning. This paper investigates the use of wrapper methods for bagging, boosting, and feature selection to improve the prediction accuracy of ... -
A Study of Two Stochastic Search Methods for Structural Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Many engineering tasks involve the search for good solutions among many possibilities. In most cases, tasks are too complex to be modeled completely and their solution spaces often contain local minima. Therefore, classical ... -
Discussion of “Algorithm for Determining Controlling Path Considering Resource Continuity” by Mohammed A. Ammar and Emad Elbeltagi

Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) for Suppression of Structural Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Applicability of the cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) to structural control is explored, and a training algorithm for the suppression of structural vibration is proposed. The training epochs and controlled ... -
Application of Multiresolution Pattern Classification to Steel Bridge Coating Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Digital image recognition has been broadly utilized in different engineering disciplines; in civil engineering, it has been used experimentally in the inspection of steel bridge coatings and underground sewer systems. The ... -
Digital Image Analysis to Determine Pore Opening Size Distribution of Nonwoven Geotextiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The filtration performance of a geotextile is controlled by its pore opening size distribution (PSD). Current methods for determining PSD are mostly indirect and contain inherent disadvantages. Recent technological ... -

Agent-Based Compensatory Negotiation Methodology to Facilitate Distributed Coordination of Project Schedule Changes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Change is ubiquitous in construction project schedules and there are many interrelationships and interdependencies in project schedule changes. Therefore, a schedule change in the work of a subcontractor might affect ... -
Vibration-based Damage Detection of Structures by Genetic Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Vibration-based methods are being rapidly applied to detect structural damage. The usual approaches incorporate sensitivity analysis and the optimization algorithm to minimize the discrepancies between the measured vibration ... -
Automated Classification of Construction Project Documents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The number of documents generated in a construction project and stored in interorganizational information systems is significant. Since a large percentage of these project documents are generated in text format, methods ... -
Prediction of Remaining Service Life of Bridge Decks Using Machine Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This paper demonstrates that it is feasible to use either the -
Integrated Computing Environments for Watershed Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)This paper describes a new computing paradigm known as a problem solving environment (PSE), explores the role this new paradigm might play in watershed management and land use change analysis, and compares PSEs to similar ... -
Building Project Model Support for Automated Labor Monitoring
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)In current project control practice, deviations from planned performance can only be reported after significant time has elapsed. Manual monitoring on construction sites is costly and error prone. Consequently, an automated ... -
Determination of Physical Parameters of Stiffened Plates using Genetic Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)An investigation on stiffened isotropic and composite plates has been conducted to determine the geometric and material parameters for the plate, as well as the stiffener from experimental modal data and finite element ... -
Statistical-Fuzzy Approach to Quantify Cumulative Impact of Change Orders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)This paper presents a hybrid approach to quantify the impact of change orders on construction projects using statistical regression and fuzzy logic. There are many qualitative variables affecting the impact of change orders ... -
Testing and Evaluating Alternative Algorithms for Location Referencing System Route Generation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Modeling the transportation network of roads and highways for data and information system implementations presents unique challenges. The foremost challenge is selecting a modeling methodology that is compatible with the ... -
Dimensional Ratios for Stone Aggregates from Three-Dimensional Laser Scans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The “laser-based aggregate scanning system” (LASS) was developed to rapidly and accurately characterize the three-dimensional shape properties of unbound stone aggregates. A linear motion slide, a laser line scanner, and ... -
Linking Time-Lapse Digital Photography and Dynamic Scheduling of Construction Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A dynamic scheduling system that links digital movies of construction activities, a CPM schedule, and progress control of construction has been developed. A time-lapse technique has been used in such a way that months of ... -
