Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) as a process in order to implement a damage detection strategy and assess the condition of structure plays a key role in structural reliability. In this paper, we aim to present a methodology ...

Injection in soils using traditional materials, such as cement grout, has its inherent problems and has not shown the potential for further development in industrial applications. Accordingly, application of novel materials ...

After drilling a well, the  stresses will be altered and the induced stresses present the new state of stress. These induced stresses which result in geomechanical problems. The studies indicate that the flow of hydrocarbon ...

Extremal hypotheses without bank stability constraint typically over-predict and under-predict channel width in large rivers and natural streams, respectively. In general, results obtained from unconstrained extremal ...

The charged system search algorithm is a relatively new optimization algorithm developed based on some principles from physics and mechanics. This paper presents an approach in which Pareto dominance is incorporated into ...

Considering both size and dimensions of the offshore wind turbine structures, design optimization of such structures is a fruitful yet, simultaneously, onerous task due to the tempestuous complexity of the problem, which ...

This paper proposed a practical approach for reliability analysis of vertical cut in unsaturated soil. This approach extends the application of conditional random field into the unsaturated soils. A real case study of ...

Mathematical simulation of the nonlinear tri-dimensional mechanical behavior of quasi-brittle materials like concrete is one of the biggest challenges in the engineering science. It is vital to have the knowledge of the ...

Fragility curve, based on the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), is a fundamental tool in assessing the probabilistic seismic performance of concrete gravity dams. Determination of the dam limit-states (LSs) ...

Earth Dams are one of the most important and expensive civil engineering structures to which a considerable amount of budget is allocated. Their construction costs are mainly related to the size of embankments, which in ...

The eff ect of aging on dynamic properties of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) including damping ratio and shear modulus was investigated in the current research. For this purpose, a series of cyclic Consolidated Undrained (CU) ...

The masonry walls should have su cient in-plane strength and sti ness to withstand the seismic loads during strong ground shakings. Di erent retro tting techniques have been proposed for improving in-plane behavior of the ...
