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 ... -
Effect of Riser Height on Application Rate and Uniformity of a Spiral Fluidic Sprinkler
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study evaluates the effect of riser heights on the coefficient of uniformity (CU), distribution uniformity (DU), and application rate of spiral fluidic sprinkler (SFS) irrigation systems. The aim is to accommodate ... -
Optimizing Venturi Flume Design for Sustainable Water Management: Bridging Flow Accuracy and Aeration Efficiency through Experimental and Machine-Learning Approaches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study introduces a machine learning (ML) framework to optimize Venturi flume design for improved aeration efficiency (E20) and discharge coefficient (Cd) for sustainable water management. Six flume geometries: ... -
Analytical Solution and Model Test Validation of the Phreatic Line in a Wet Tailings Pond
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The phreatic line is the lifeline of a wet tailings pond and a crucial factor affecting its stability. This paper aims to propose a new analytical solution for the phreatic line of a wet tailings pond to predict ... -
Effect of Different Sinusoidal Dynamic Water Pressures on the Anticlogging Performance of Labyrinth Emitters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractTo investigate the effect of sinusoidal pressure parameters on the anticlogging performance of labyrinth emitters, this study employs the computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method to numerically simulate ... -
Free-Surface Properties Downstream of Labyrinth Weirs Monitored with a Depth Camera
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe colliding nappes in the outlet cycles of a labyrinth weir produce complex, three-dimensional aerated flows that enter the downstream channel. In this study, these flows were measured for three different ... -
Experimental Study on Piano Key Weirs of an Ogee Outlet Key for Enhancement in Discharge Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe Piano Key Weir (PKW) has emerged as an effective solution for enhancing the discharge capacity of spillways, particularly in low-head dams. This study presents an experimental investigation comparing two Type ... -
Comparison of Machine Learning and Empirical Methods for Data-Efficient Estimation of Reference Evapotranspiration in a Semiarid Region
