The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) live-load distribution-factor (DF) equations were calibrated on straight bridges, while their use for horizontally curved I-girde...
Construction-stage bridge fires are seldom documented in detail, although they can change the behavior of an incomplete structural system. This paper records a 35 m span of a six-cell RC box girder at the Al-Sadreen intersection in Samawa, Iraq, dama...
In modern transportation projects, the demand for skewed bridges is increasing. Restrictive site constraints, particularly in urban infrastructure projects, yield severely skewed bridges that demand specific design and construction considerations. In...
A series of pendant–type alkoxysilane structures with various carbon numbers (C1–C8) were used to fabricate sol–gel derived organosilica membranes to evaluate the effects of the C/Si ratio and fluorine doping. Initially, this invest...
The presence of fling step and forward directivity, as distinctive features of near-fault ground motions, can lead to substantial alterations in the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridges. This study examines the seismic performance of re...
Sodium, potassium, and calcium compounds of trimethyl((2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadien-1-yl)ethynyl)silane (CpMe4(C≡CSiMe3)) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and standard analytical methods. The sodium derivative was obtained...
Current source inverters (CSIs) have exhibited significant potential in variable-speed motor drive applications, attributed to their superior dynamic response and robust anti-interference capabilities. Space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) is r...
Recent advancements in target tracking using Wi-Fi signals and channel state information (CSI) have significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of tracking mobile targets. However, there remains a gap in developing a comprehensive approach tha...
Human–computer interaction (HCI) drives innovation by bridging humans and technology, with human activity recognition (HAR) playing a key role. Traditional HAR systems require user cooperation and infrastructure, raising privacy concerns. In re...
In the context of energy conversion from renewable sources to distribution grids (insulated or not), a converter is often required to transfer energy from a low voltage source towards three-phase grids. This paper presents the HW design, the simulati...
Copper plays an important role in alkyne coordination chemistry and transformations. This report describes the isolation and full characterization of a thermally stable, copper(I) acetylene complex using a highly fluorinated bis(pyrazolyl)borate liga...
This scientific research presents the most significant aspects of the structural analysis and verification of the main steel railway bridges in Peru in accordance with the American standard. To this end, linear and finite element analyses (FEMs) were...
This review evaluates the role of advanced materials in optimizing the efficiency, sustainability, and market integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Our work bridges insights from both mature (crystalline silicon (c-Si)) and novel perov...
As Industry 4.0 advances, emerging use cases demand 5G NR networks capable of delivering high uplink throughput and ultra-low downlink latency. This study evaluates a 5G link between a LiDAR-equipped unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and its control unit...
Gesture recognition acts as a key enabler for user-friendly human-computer interfaces (HCI). To bridge the human-computer barrier, numerous efforts have been devoted to designing accurate fine-grained gesture recognition systems. Recent advances in w...
