A procedure for updating the Park-Ang damage index of reinforced concrete building under near-fault ground motion is proposed. Rather than developing a new damage model, a correction term is added to the existing damage ...

Delays and disruptions reduce the reliability and stability of the rail operations. Railway traffic rescheduling includes ways to manage the operations during and after the occurrences of such disturbances. In this study, ...

Accurate outlier detection is an important matter to consider prior to data applied to predict flow pattern. Identifying these outliers and reducing their impact in measurements could be effective in presenting the authentic ...

In recent years, controlled blasting has turned into an efficient method for  evaluation of soil liquefaction in real scale and evaluation of ground improvement techniques. Predicting blast-induced soil liquefaction by ...

Concrete is widely used for many practices in Civil Engineering. Therefore, an understanding of its behavior helps engineers and researchers to perform more accurate and cost-effective analyses and designs. In this order, ...

In the room and pillar mining method is of fundamental importance the dimensioning of the pillars. The area of influence method is typically used today for dimensioning of the pillars, but an overdimensioning or critical ...

Monitoring embankment dams is of crucial importance. In earth dams, the pore pressures, earth pressures, and displacements occurring during construction and function, are measured at the time of the first impounding and ...
