The paper is part of a case study concerning the structural assessment of a historical infrastructure in the local territory, a road three-span reinforced concrete arch bridge over a river, built by the end of World War I (1917). The purpose of the p...
As more and more container terminals are becoming intelligent, different kinds of sensors are widely installed at different locations of the cranes and collect a large amount of data. In order to effectively utilize and manage these huge amounts of a...
This research investigates the possibility of using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic waste to improve the properties of asphalt concrete pavement. HDPE plastic waste contents of 1, 3, 5, and 7% by aggregate weight were used. HDPE plastic wast...
Value of time (VOT) is a crucial aspect of travel demand modeling. VOT impacts most mobility projects and the evaluations therein. It has been noted to be influenced by multiple factors, mainly related to individuals’ demographics and trips&rsq...
Progressing digitalization and networking of systems and organizations representing Critical Infrastructures opens promising new potentials and opportunities, which on the downside, are accompanied by rising complexity and increasingly opaque interde...
The electric tricycle, often known as an e-trike, is a three-wheeled electric vehicle designed to transport a small group of people over short distances on side streets. This study aims to develop a service quality model of sustainable e-trike operat...
Scour action is one of the main factors that add significant stress to the growing infrastructure crisis as it is considered one of the most destructive flood-related hazards occurring around underwater foundation elements. Recent cases of bridge fai...
Critical infrastructures such as transportation, power, telecommunication, water supply, and hospitals play a vital role in effectively managing post-disaster responses. The resilience of critical infrastructures should be incorporated in the plannin...
From the perspective of sustainable waste management and its environmental impact, waste biomass bottom ash (BA) remains problematic and challenging to use as a recycling material for civil engineering infrastructures. This study evaluated the perfor...
This study investigated the potential influence of operating water levels and loading conditions on the slope stability of an embankment dam. Four different operating reservoir levels (normal, reduced, embankment height, and overflow) were considered...
Optimizing the serviceability of highway bridges is a fundamental prerequisite to provide proper infrastructure safety and emergency responses after natural hazards such as an earthquake. In this regard, fragility and resilience assessment have emerg...
The consensus in the Norwegian construction industry is that the projects are characterized by conflicts. Because unresolved disputes that reach courts take time and resources to be solved, this leads to lost productivity and high costs for all stake...
Despite advancing Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, road projects often rely on inaccurate supplier data, making it difficult to determine the cost, quantity, quality, and transportation duration of the needed materials. The wrong choice of mate...
Modern roadways provide road users with a comfortable and safe ride to their destinations. Due to increasing traffic demands and maximum allowable loads, road authorities should also pay attention to the structural soundness of road pavements while s...
Nano-technology has played a vital role in upgrading the durability and sustainability of asphalt pavements during the last decade. Conventional bitumen does not provide adequate performance against permanent deformation in severe weather conditions....
