Intelligent systems, the Internet of Things, smart factory, and artificial intelligence are just some of the pillars for the 4th industrial revolution. Engineering is the driving force behind this new industrial renaissance and transportation plays a...
Implementing building information modeling (BIM) in construction projects can provide team members with an effective collaboration process. Therefore, organizations are implementing BIM to acquire the benefits. However, project members still use trad...
Pile design is an essential component of geotechnical engineering practice, and pipe piles, in particular, are increasingly being used for the support of a variety of infrastructure projects. These piles are being used with dimensions that exceed tho...
Speeding in residential areas is a rampant high-risk driving behavior that occurs worldwide. This study investigated the intention and behavior of speeding in residential streets (with a speed limit of 30 km/h) in Iran based on the Theory of extended...
Digital twins (DTs) represent an emerging technology that allows interaction between assets and their virtual replicas and enclose geometry from modeling procedures and dynamism from AI. DTs serve different purposes, e.g., testing how devices behave...
The current coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is impacting countries across the world, resulting in governments undertaking a number of precautionary measures for their populations. This raises the issue of the effectiveness of urban design of dwellings...
Hot recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) into new hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is a complex process that must be precisely calibrated in the asphalt plants. In particular, temperature is a key parameter that, if inadequately set, can affect the fin...
Repair materials have been developed in this research by adding micro-synthetic fibers in cement-based mortar. In addition, accelerator is incorporated in the mortar to obtain high early strength of the repair materials. Their shrinkage behavior is o...
Large-scale lifelines in seismic-prone regions very frequently cross areas that are characterized by active tectonic faulting, as complete avoidance might be techno-economically unfeasible. The resulting Permanent Ground Displacements (PGDs) constitu...
Urban drainage systems play an important role in the complex ecosystem of cities and are often subject to challenges that hinder their functioning. Although identifying these challenges is essential for developing policies and actions to improve drai...
The maintenance of the ballast substructure is an important cost-driver for railway systems. The problem is that today’s condition monitoring methods are insufficient to collect detailed data on the compaction and stress allocation inside the b...
The presence of underground voids within a failure zone usually results in a reduction in the bearing capacity of footings. This paper presents results for the ultimate bearing capacity ratio, qu/γB, of a strip footing on top of a sand layer ov...
Reinforced concrete deep beams are a vital member of infrastructures such as bridges, shear walls, and foundation pile caps. Thousands of dollars and human lives are seriously threatened due to shear failure, which have developed in deep beams contai...
To succeed with projects, we need to understand and manage uncertainty. Uncertainties impact a project’s cost, time, and quality performance. The project’s front end is challenging for decision makers due to the high level of uncertainty....
