Earthquake Resistant Wooden House (Civil Project)
Wood-stud shear walls are commonly used to provide lateral stability against horizontal forces in wood houses. Therefore, accurate predictions of the deformation properties of shear walls are Continue reading
Post-EIA Monitoring and WebTAG objectives: A review of selected Road Projects in UK (Civil Project)
Roads are an important part of the infrastructure of any country, as they facilitate the transportation of goods and people. The UK has got a good road network but has a low Continue reading
Road Zipper (Civil Project)
THE NEED
Construction work zones are growing in number around the world. The natural aging of existing roadway infrastructure ensures that more and more maintenance and rehabilitation will be required. Work zones, by their very definition, create Continue reading
Self-Organizing Input Space for Control of Structures (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
We propose a novel type of neural networks for structural control, which comprises an adaptive input space. This feature is purposefully designed for sequential input selection during adaptive identification and control of nonlinear Continue reading
An Exploration of Early Work Packaging in Construction Manager/General Contractor Highway Projects (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Recently, state agencies have been successfully implementing construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC) delivery on highway projects. While early work packaging is frequently cited in the literature as a primary benefit of Continue reading
Social Return on Investment as a Metric to Prioritize use of Accelerated Bridge Construction in Rural Regions (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques have a great potential to minimize the traffic disruptions during the bridge repairs/replacements, promote traffic and worker safety, and improve the overall quality of the built Continue reading
Energy Losses Study on District Cooling Pipes: Steady-state Modeling and Simulation (Civil Project)
Distribution losses are a very important factor in district energy systems. By optimizing the losses in such a system, both economical and Continue reading
An Analysis of Success and Failure Factors for ERP Systems in Engineering and Construction Firms (Civil Project)
Even though the use of ERP systems is growing and becoming more popular, these systems are still somewhat unfamiliar in the construction industry. Many engineering and construction firms know how beneficial ERP systems are, but they Continue reading
Design of an Earthquake Proof One Family House: A house in alternative Construction Material, made for slum areas in Medellin, Colombia (Civil/Mechanical Project)
One of mankind’s most important needs is the need for shelter. All around the world people live in lack of this basic need. Colombia is a South American country heavily burdened by Continue reading
Damage Detection and Localization from Dense Network of Strain Sensors (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
Structural health monitoring of large systems is a complex engineering task due to important practical issues.When dealing with large structures, damage diagnosis, localization, and prognosis necessitate a large number of Continue reading
Novel Nanocomposite Technologies for Dynamic Monitoring of Structures (Civil Project)
ABSTRACT
The authors have recently developed two novel solutions for strain sensing using nanocomposite materials. While they both aim at providing cost-effective solutions at monitoring local information on large-scale structures, both technologies are Continue reading
