ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractExcavation-induced ground movements can have a detrimental influence on adjacent structures and services. These complex soil–structure interactions are affected by a range of factors such as ground conditions, excavation sequence,…
AbstractPopulation growth, economic development, and rapid urbanization in many areas have led to increased exposure and vulnerability of structural and infrastructure systems to hazards. Thus, developing risk-based assessment and management…
AbstractBecause existing buildings occupy most of our built environment, there is an urgent need to upgrade them considering building sustainability criteria. Therefore, many optimization models were proposed to find the…
AbstractUnderstanding the flood impact dynamics on buildings is still a major challenge, especially considering the built environment. Motivated by the problem of the flood-structure interaction, this study experimentally measured loading…
AbstractOverhead work involving the construction and maintenance of civil infrastructure (e.g., tunnels, overpasses, and buildings) is strenuous and fatigue-inducing for human workers and is particularly well-suited for co-robotization. Such work is…
AbstractOne common limitation of all automated code compliance-checking methods and tools is their inability to deal with all types of building-code requirements. More research is needed to better identify the…
AbstractExisting infrastructure has proven to be resilient and robust against car and truck bombings. The impacts of terrorist attacks are often overstated, and the tragic events of 9/11 appear to…
The approvals provide some welcome momentum for Texas Central, which earlier this year paused its plans and laid off more than two dozen employees as a result of the coronavirus…
