Centrifuge Modeling of a Constructed Reservoir Embankment: Antiliquefaction Performance Improvement Using Nanoparticles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Antiliquefaction performance improvement for developed sites beneath existing structures has drawn increasing public attention to meet stricter requirements of seismic protection. Liquefaction mitigation using nanoparticles ... -
Performance Evaluation of Internal Drains of Earthen Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Seepage is always expected in earthen dams because they are made of porous materials. However, it should be always under control and its amount and pore-water pressures should be kept below acceptable limits. This can be ... -

Video to BrIM: Automated 3D As-Built Documentation of Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Labeling and mapping existing infrastructure is one of the grand challenges for civil engineers in the 21st century. The challenge remains in finding an appropriate data collection method that rapidly collects structural ... -
Sewer Structural Condition Prediction Integrating Bayesian Model Averaging with Logistic Regression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Utility managers and other authorities often rely on sewer structural condition prediction models for the effective execution of long-term and short-term sewer management strategies; however, it is challenging to predict ... -
Performance of a Rigid Retaining Wall with Relief Shelves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Earth pressure on a retaining wall decides the sectional dimensions of the wall, and there have been several attempts in the literature to reduce the earth pressures on the retaining walls, by using techniques such as ... -
Dynamic Behavior of Masonry Arch Bridge under High-Speed Train Loading: Veresk Bridge Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper studies the dynamic behavior of one of the oldest masonry arch bridges of the Iranian railway network, the Veresk bridge, located in the Mazandaran province of Iran. To do so, the writers developed an advanced ... -
Multihazard Assessment and Retrofit of Deteriorated Timber Pile Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Compared to research studies on the behavior and performance of reinforced concrete and steel structures, there is almost no information available in the literature relating to heavy timber structures such as timber pile ... -
Effect of Queti-Inclination Angles on Structural Performance of Tibetan Timber Beam-Column Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents an experimental investigation of the structural performance of typical Tibetan timber beam-column joints (BCJs) under vertical load in order to study the effect of queti inclination on the load effects. ... -
Modeling Deformation Induced by Thermal Loading Using Long-Term Bridge Monitoring Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)An accurate correlation model between thermal loading and deformation is required for facilitating a reliable deformation-based condition evaluation in bridge service periods. In this paper, a general approach for modeling ... -
Reliability Analysis of River Bridge against Scours and Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study proposes a bridge safety evaluation process against seismic and flood hazards. Because uncertainties in the scours, seismic hazard, and structural performance for a given seismic excitation are inevitable and ... -
Influence of Panel Zone on Progressive Collapse Resistance of Steel Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper focuses on panel zone effects on the progressive collapse resistance of steel frames. A corner or middle column of the structure was immediately removed from the model according to General Services Administration ... -
Deterioration Assessment of Infrastructure Using Fuzzy Logic and Image Processing Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The safety and serviceability of civil infrastructures have to be ensured either as part of a periodic inspection program or immediately following a given hazardous event. The use of digital imaging techniques to identify ... -
Characterization and Appraisal of Technical Specifications in Brick Façade Projects in Spain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a quantitative and qualitative study of deficiencies in the design of brick façades, by identifying the most common mistakes by analyzing projects’ technical specifications. To this end, 64 brick façade ... -
