Detecting Pavement Joints and Grooves with Improved 3D Shadow Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper proposes a modification of the original three-dimensional (3D) shadow modeling for improvements in suppressing noises. Compared with the original 3D shadow modeling (3D Shadow Modeling I), this improved 3D shadow ... -
Topology and Size Optimization of Trusses with Static and Dynamic Bounds by Modified Symbiotic Organisms Search
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, a modified version of the symbiotic organisms search (SOS) is proposed for topology and sizing of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) trusses with static and dynamic criteria. Symbiotic organisms ... -
Automatic and Exact Symmetry Recognition of Structures Exhibiting High-Order Symmetries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Symmetry analysis is common and important, and the involved symmetry is in general self evident or manually recognized. However, for a structure with high-order symmetry or complex geometry, it becomes very difficult to ... -
Bringing Information to the Field: Automated Photo Registration and 4D BIM
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Effective data and information management is one of the key factors to successful construction project management. However, in current practice, the data and information are hard to search, retrieve, and reuse by the project ... -
Stability Condition Identification of Rock and Soil Cutting Slopes Based on Soft Computing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)For transportation infrastructure, one of the greatest challenges today is to keep large-scale transportation networks, such as railway networks, operational under all conditions. This task becomes even more difficult to ... -
Unified Approach to Pavement Crack and Sealed Crack Detection Using Preclassification Based on Transfer Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This work focuses on solving two challenging problems in pavement crack detection: (1) noises caused by complicated pavement textures and intensity inhomogeneity cannot be removed effectively, which makes crack ... -
Data-Driven Prediction of Runway Incursions with Uncertainty Quantification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In 215 only, more than 1,5 runway incursions (RIs) occurred at US airports, which could result in serious runway collisions. Nonlinear interactions among many factors and complex data structures pose challenges to RI ... -
MPI Parallel Monte Carlo Framework for the Reliability Analysis of Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Current emphasis on evaluating the resilience of civil communities to various natural and man-made hazards has required expanding the scale of structural analysis problems from performing deterministic analysis of isolated ... -
Spatiotemporal Network-Based Model for Dynamic Risk Analysis on Struck-by-Equipment Hazard
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Having an approach that can analyze and identify safety risks in the dynamic and hazardous construction environment is one of the key steps to the success of health and safety plans. Struck-by-equipment hazard is one of ... -
Cycle-Length Prediction in Actuated Traffic-Signal Control Using ARIMA Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In urban transportation systems, the traffic signal is the main component in controlling traffic congestion. Using actuated traffic control as one of the traffic-controlling systems can cause fewer delays for transportation ... -
Detecting Construction Equipment Using a Region-Based Fully Convolutional Network and Transfer Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)For proper construction site management and plan revisions during construction, it is necessary to understand a construction site’s status in real time. Many vision-based construction site-monitoring methods exist, but ... -
Multistakeholder Conflict Minimization–Based Layout Planning of Construction Temporary Facilities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The layout planning of construction temporary facilities (CTFs) is a specific construction site layout problem. Despite considerable research undertaken to determine satisfactory layouts of CTFs for their significance on ... -
Automated Pavement Patch Detection and Quantification Using Support Vector Machines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pavement condition evaluation provides transportation authorities with decision support tools for the selection of appropriate repair or replace actions, thus preventing the possibility of transportation networks disruption. ... -
DEA-Based Performance Evaluation System for Construction Enterprises Based on BIM Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)After decades of rapid development by the Chinese construction industry, the management of the construction industry has increasingly relied on good models. Building information modeling (BIM) technology has been used more ... -
Leak Detection of Water Supply Networks Using Error-Domain Model Falsification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pressurized freshwater fluid distribution networks are key strategic infrastructure elements. On average, 20% of water is lost by way of leaks around the world. This illustrates the need for more efficient management of ... -
Computer Vision–Based Model for Moisture Marks Detection and Recognition in Subway Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Moisture marks (wet areas) are significant defects that may develop on the surfaces of subway structures as a result of water leakage through soil. The detection and assessment of moisture marks are predominantly conducted ... -

Pothole Detection and Classification Using 3D Technology and Watershed Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Potholes are one of the roadway distresses that negatively impact roadway safety. With emerging sensing technology, three-dimensional (3D) pavement data, derived using 3D laser technology, have become available for detecting ... -
IFC-Based Development of As-Built and As-Is BIMs Using Construction and Facility Inspection Data: Site-to-BIM Data Transfer Automation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Accurate and proactive inspection of constructed objects and identification of their defects and design conformity is vital to both facility management and construction projects. A project’s building information model (BIM) ... -
BIM Log Mining: Measuring Design Productivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)There has been a long debate on how to measure design productivity. Compared to construction productivity, design productivity is much more difficult to measure because design is an iterative and innovative process. Today, ...
