Impact of Sea-Level Rise on Roadway Flooding in the Hampton Roads Region, Virginia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study determines the most critically vulnerable major roadways in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Sea-level rise predictions are combined with the mean higher high water and 99% tidal datums and storm surge ... -
Modeling Electric Power and Natural Gas System Interdependencies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)To promote the resilience and protection of infrastructure assets from an all-hazards perspective, this paper describes the progress of interdependencies modeling and integration efforts to anticipate cascading failures ... -
Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Locating Leaks in Water Mains Using Noise Loggers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Because of their potential danger to public health, economic loss, environmental damage, and energy waste, underground water pipelines leaks have received more attention globally. Researchers have proposed active leakage ... -
Comparison of Power and Telecommunications Dependencies and Interdependencies in the 2011 Tohoku and 2010 Maule Earthquakes

Modeling of Risks Threatening Critical Infrastructures: System Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The objective of this paper is to model interconnectivities among systems and subsystems of transport and critical infrastructures vulnerable to climatic events that impose the highest impacts on people and regional economies ... -
Portfolio of Infrastructure Investments: Analysis of European Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Infrastructure has received much attention in recent years. Investment in infrastructure is particularly effective and has been recommended to institutional investors for investments such as pension funds because of the ... -
LFRD Calibration of Pullout Resistance Factors Using Survival Analysis for Soil Nails in North Texas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Reliability-based analysis of the calibration of pullout resistance factors ( -
Semi-Markov Models for the Deterioration of Bridge Elements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Many bridge management systems (BMSs) use a Markov chain model to forecast the deterioration process. The Markov property may be considered to be restrictive when modeling the deterioration of transportation assets, primarily ... -
Interpretation of Flexural Vibration Modes from Impact-Echo Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The main goals of this study are to provide an improved interpretation of flexural vibration modes of delaminations in concrete bridge decks detected using impact-echo testing, and to develop a simple two-dimensional (2D) ... -
Estimating Annual Maintenance Expenditures for Infrastructure: Artificial Neural Network Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)For the purposes of long-term planning and budgeting, infrastructure user cost allocation, and financial need forecasts, infrastructure agencies seek knowledge of the annual expenditure levels for maintaining their assets. ... -
Rapid Assessment of Hurricane Damage and Disruption to Interdependent Civil Infrastructure Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Civil infrastructure systems such as power, water, and communications are critical for the well-being and functioning of citizens, industries, and organizations both under normal and disaster conditions. Infrastructure ... -
Prioritizing Interrelated Road Projects Using Metaheuristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Projects are considered interrelated when their benefits or costs depend on which other projects are implemented. The timing of such projects may also complicate their analysis. Selection and scheduling of interrelated ... -
Cost–Benefit Analysis and Microclimate-Based Optimization of a RWIS Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The Road Weather Information System (RWIS) has been applied as an effective tool to collect weather and road surface temperature information and to assist operational decisions for snow and ice control activities. Current ... -
Dynamic Adaptive Approach to Transportation-Infrastructure Planning for Climate Change: San-Francisco-Bay-Area Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Adaptation of existing infrastructure is a response to climate change that can ensure a viable, safe, and robust transportation network. However, deep uncertainties associated with climate change pose significant challenges ... -
Environmental and Economic Consequences of Permanent Roadway Infrastructure Commitment: City Road Network Lifecycle Assessment and Los Angeles County
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The environmental impacts and economic costs associated with passenger transportation are the result of complex interactions between people, infrastructure, urban form, and underlying activities. When it comes to roadway ... -
An Integrated Productivity-Practices Implementation Index for Planning the Execution of Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Productivity and project performance can be improved through implementing best practices. This paper describes the development of a best productivity practices implementation index (BPPII) for infrastructure projects. The ... -
Risk-Cost Optimization of Buried Pipelines Using Subset Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)On the basis of time-dependent reliability analysis, a computational framework called subset simulation (SS) has been applied for risk-cost optimization of flexible underground pipeline networks. SS can provide better ... -
