Solution to the Multidepot Inventory Slack-Routing Problem at the Planning Stage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)To help governments improve preparedness for emergency events, this study introduces a solution framework for the multidepot inventory slack-routing problem (ISRP). By defining slack as the difference between delivery ... -
Generating Absolute-Scale Point Cloud Data of Built Infrastructure Scenes Using a Monocular Camera Setting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The global scale of point cloud data (PCD) generated through monocular photography and videogrammetry is unknown and can be calculated using at least one known dimension of the scene. Measuring one or more dimensions for ... -
Schedule Risk Analysis for TBM Tunneling Based on Adaptive CYCLONE Simulation in a Geologic Uncertainty–Aware Context
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Schedules are fundamental parameters for decision making in the design phase of tunnel construction projects. Schedule estimates of tunnel construction projects are subject to major uncertainties caused by uncertain geologic ... -
Two-Dimensional Virtual Microstructure Generation of Particle-Reinforced Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper describes the development and validation of a virtual microstructure generator that can be used to fabricate a virtual, two-dimensional (2D) microstructure of particle-reinforced composites in general, and of ... -
Modeling, Animating, and Optimizing On-Shore Wind Farm Construction Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Recently, wind energy has been greatly sought after because of the high price and diminishing quantity of fossil fuel resources. This necessitated the construction of wind farms. However, the on-shore wind farm construction ... -
Zero-One Programming Approach to Determine Optimum Resource Supply under Time-Dependent Resource Constraints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Skilled labor is critical to any construction project. The determination of optimum resource supply quantities over different project time periods compounds the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, which has ... -
3D Visualization-Based Motion Planning of Mobile Crane Operations in Heavy Industrial Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The successful completion of modular-based heavy industrial construction projects relies heavily on safe and efficient crane operations, which have a direct impact on project productivity. Corresponding to the design of ... -
Numerical Modeling for the Selection of Coir Geotextile for Erosion Control Application Based on the Universal Soil-Loss Equation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A fuzzy logic–based modeling approach using the universal soil-loss equation (USLE) along with selection and application of the appropriate coir geotextile (CG) in soil erosion control was attempted in this study. The fuzzy ... -
Towards a Mixed Reality System for Construction Trade Training
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Apprenticeship training is at the heart of government skills policy worldwide. Application of cutting-edge information and communication technologies (ICTs) can enhance the quality of construction training, and help in ... -
Classification of Rockburst in Underground Projects: Comparison of Ten Supervised Learning Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Rockburst prediction is of crucial importance to the design and construction of many underground projects. Insufficient knowledge, lack of characterizing information, and noisy data restrain rock mechanics engineers from ... -
Ontology-Based Multilabel Text Classification of Construction Regulatory Documents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In order to fully automate the environmental regulatory compliance checking process, rules should be automatically extracted from applicable environmental regulatory textual documents, such as energy conservation codes. ... -
Automated Brick Counting for Façade Construction Progress Estimation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Construction progress is predominantly measured with manual site surveys. These surveys are labor-intensive, on-site manual investigations. The generated survey reports are subjective and approximate because they are based ... -
