Network-Level Infrastructure Asset Management with Multiagent Actor–Critic Reinforcement Learning: A Case of Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe network-level infrastructure asset management (NL-IAM) problem is excessively large and complex due to a large number of decision parameters, possible strategies, and underlying uncertainties. Although it often ... -
Green Project Finance for Infrastructure and Building Construction: Instruments and Benchmarks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractIt is counterintuitive that both the practice and research on green project finance for infrastructure and building construction are ascendant and still have limited precedents, considering that individually, the ... -
Sustainable Infrastructure Standard of Practice: Toward a Golden Age of Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Multihazard Vulnerability and Risk Assessment of a System of Lattice Steel Transmission Towers Prone to Wind and Ice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractMultihazard wind and ice accretion pose risks to lattice steel transmission tower systems, which are the most common supporting structures for high-voltage overhead lines. This study investigated these risks within ... -
Ex-Post Evaluation of the Effects of Simple Proactive Repairs with a Deterioration Prediction Model on Steel and Concrete Bridges Considering Sample Dropping Bias
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractDuring periodic inspections of bridges, the inspector’s first-aid works are sometimes implemented to improve safety and enhance preventative maintenance. It is important to evaluate the effectiveness of the inspector’s ... -
Impact of Conventional and Electric Delivery Vehicles on Road Wear in Residential Areas: A Case Study in Evanston, Illinois
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractCommunications technologies and e-commerce have profound effects on travel behavior, including shopping trips. Such changes are, in turn, transforming operations associated with the delivery of goods and services, ... -
Why a Framework to Engineer Infrastructure System Resilience Is Necessary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Identifying Critical Locations for Traffic Monitoring Devices during Hurricane Evacuations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Large-scale evacuations from natural disasters such as hurricanes pose major logistical and operational challenges. There is often insufficient roadway capacity for entire populations to evacuate immediately, causing costly ... -
Application of a Hybrid Approach in Developing Urban Road Livability-Related Indicators for the Sustainable Urban Road Rating System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In light of recent sustainable development goals, there is a growing demand for developing a systematic and quantifiable sustainable roadway assessment, also known as a sustainability rating system, on a global scale. ... -
Efficient Decision Tree-Based Classification Models to Predict Safety Rating for Bridge Maintenance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)To address insufficient costs and manpower available for maintenance of aging bridges, recent research has been examining advanced maintenance technologies that can theoretically predict the condition and performance of ... -
Feasibility Study on Use of Drone-Based Infrared Thermography for Soil Moisture Detection in Highway Embankment and Dam Inspections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This research explored the capabilities of drone-based infrared thermography technology for soil moisture detection on embankment/dam soils. FLIR Vue Pro R, a radiometric thermal camera, was evaluated in both laboratory ... -
Simulation-Based Evaluation of Resilience-Enhancing Measures for Transportation Systems Subject to Hydrometeorological Hazard Events

Multisource Data-Driven Approach for Predicting the Deterioration of High Mast Light Poles along Highways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Predicting the deterioration of high mast light poles (HMLPs) can support capital planning and asset management for highway agencies, such as inspection and maintenance prioritization decisions. This paper aims to develop ... -
Advanced Deep Learning–Based Hybrid Rail Extraction Algorithm Leveraging LiDAR Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In the United States, around 1/3 of the rail network is operated by short lines. These railroads play an important role in the nation’s transportation system by serving as the feeder and distributor for the rail network, ... -
Resilience Assessment of Urban Water Distribution Networks under Disturbance Influence of Aftershocks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Water distribution networks (WDNs) are essential for urban water supply and postearthquake recovery. Conducting a seismic resilience assessment of a WDN and taking corresponding improvement measures can improve the disaster ... -
Control Rights Incentive Mechanism for PPP Projects Considering Financial Institutions’ Early Intervention
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The unreasonable distribution of control rights delaying project operating income and the extension of debt repayment periods incur the highest economic losses to financial institutions as the primary fund providers of ... -
Pavement Condition Prediction for Communities: A Low-Cost, Ubiquitous, and Network-Wide Approach
