Hybrid Support Vector Machine Optimization Model for Prediction of Energy Consumption of Cutter Head Drives in Shield Tunneling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The energy consumption of cutter head drives accounts for over half of their total power capacity, and it can reach several thousand kilowatts in shield machines. The analysis of the energy consumption of cutter head drives ... -
IFC-Based Partial Data Model Retrieval for Distributed Collaborative Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)To deal with the growing complexity of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) models, a partial model has always been proposed as an effective way to satisfy users’ specific requirements by tailoring the central model. The ... -
Patch-Based Crack Detection in Black Box Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Cracks cause deterioration of road performance and functional or structural failure if not managed in a timely manner. This paper proposes an automated crack detection method using a car black box camera to address this ... -
Development of a BIM-Based Data Management System for Structural Health Monitoring with Application to Modular Buildings: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Modular buildings or off-site construction of building units are increasingly gaining momentum. Although such construction practices have advantages in terms of cost competitiveness and delivery time, they have many issues ... -
DUET: Data-Driven Approach Based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation Topic Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Social networking platforms have been widely employed to detect and track physical events in population-dense urban areas. They can be effective tools to understand what happens and when and where it happens, either ... -
From Semantic Segmentation to Semantic Registration: Derivative-Free Optimization–Based Approach for Automatic Generation of Semantically Rich As-Built Building Information Models from 3D Point Clouds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Development of semantically rich as-built building information models (BIMs) presents an ongoing challenge for the global BIM and computing engineering communities. A plethora of approaches have been developed that, however, ... -
Estimating Compressive Strength of Concrete Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Digital Microscope Images
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Compressive strength is a critical indicator of concrete quality for ensuring the safety of existing concrete structures. As an alternative to existing nondestructive testing methods, image-based concrete compressive ... -
Mixed-Integer Linear Programming–Based Sensitivity Analysis in Optimization of Temporary Haul Road Layout Design for Earthmoving Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)To promote mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) in engineering applications, it is vitally important to address the question: To what extent is the optimum solution of MILP able to tolerate variations and changes in ... -
Vision- and Entropy-Based Detection of Distressed Areas for Integrated Pavement Condition Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Pavement management systems aim to secure roadways functionality and vehicle passengers’ safety by proposing strategies for pavement assessment and maintenance. However, transportation departments lack accurate, low-cost, ... -
