ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractOccupational accidents are frequent in the construction industry, containing significant risks in the working environment. Therefore, early designation, taking preventive actions, and developing a proactive safety risk management plan are…
AbstractThe shear behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) beams is a complex problem because there are many influential parameters involved. Currently, the code-based shear strength of PC beams is primarily based…
AbstractEstimating the shear strength of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–reinforced-concrete (RC) beam is a complex task that depends on multiple design variables. The use of FRP bars has emerged as a…
AbstractThe current paper implements a methodology for automatically detecting vehicle maneuvers from vehicle telemetry data under naturalistic driving settings. Previous approaches have treated vehicle maneuver detection as a classification problem,…
AbstractThe Ogallala Aquifer, located in the Central Plains of the United States, is essential for agricultural irrigation and public water supply. Indiscriminate pumping from the aquifer has caused several negative…
AbstractIn industrial modular construction, components fabricated in the shop are assembled into modules before being transported to construction sites. This approach offers improved construction efficiency, higher quality products, and the…
AbstractBuilding equipment failures can have a significant impact on facility operations and performance. Accurately estimating this risk of failure is a crucial aspect of maintenance decision-making for facility managers. However,…
AbstractThe ability to hear auditory safety cues of mobile equipment while wearing hearing protection equipment (HPE) is critical to preventing injuries and deaths in construction. Existing collision hazard detection models…
AbstractThermal comfort significantly affects occupants’ satisfaction, well-being, and productivity in built environments. To improve thermal comfort, existing literature has investigated human-in-the-loop HVAC control and personal comfort systems (PCS) to adjust…
AbstractEfficient operations at intersections are associated with smooth, safe, and sustainable travel at the network level. It is often challenging to prevent congestion at these locations, especially during rush hours,…
