In recent years determining bearing capacity of piles from in-situ testing data as a complement of static and dynamic analysis has been used by geotechnical engineers. In this paper, different approaches for estimating the ...

This paper proposes a new ant colony based optimizer to improve the traffic flow in a city. For this reason, a new structure of urban traffic control system has been introduced, which uses an ant colony optimizer as its ...

The probable maximum precipitation (PMP) for many stations in Iran and other places using the Hershfield formula is routinely estimated as the mean plus 15 standard deviations processed from one-day yearly maximum rainfall ...

In this paper, the bending behavior of unbraced CSB is investigated and some empirical equations are proposed to predict the bending coefficient of Cb. The acquired results are compared with some published papers in the ...

A modified predictive optimal linear control (MPOLC) algorithm is proposed for controlling the seismic response of elastic structures. This algorithm compensates for the time delay that occurs in real control applications ...

Composite Reinforced Concrete (RC) wall system refers to a cantilever composite wall, where steel or Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) components are embedded in or attached to an RC wall. The results of an analytical and ...

Two dimensional finite element (FEM) and boundary integral equation methods (BIEM) are used to determine the uplift forces on a half-buried submarine pipeline in a sandy seabed. The main assumptions are potential flow ...
