Progressive failure analysis of open-hole composite laminates using FLWT-SCB prediction model
(Elsevier, 2022)
This paper presents the original incorporation of the smeared crack band (SCB) damage model within the full layerwise theory (FLWT) framework, to contribute to the increase of the computational efficiency of the progressive ...
Wastewater-based epidemiology in countries with poor wastewater treatment — Epidemiological indicator function of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in surface waters
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) surveillance of COVID-19 and other future outbreaks is
a challenge for developing countries as most households are not connected to a sewerage system.
In December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 RNA ...
Chebyshev polynomials and r-circulant matrices
(Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2022)
This paper connects two attractive topics in applied mathematics, r-circulant matrices and the
Chebyshev polynomials. The r-circulant matrices whose entries are the Chebyshev polynomials
of the first or second kind are ...
Mechanically fastened shear connectors in prefabricated concrete slabs – experimental analysis
(Techno Press, 2020)
Nowadays, in prefabricated composite construction, composite action between steel beam and concrete slab is often achieved with positioning of shear connectors in envisaged openings of concrete slabs. Prefabricated concrete ...
Inspection of RCF rail defects – Review of NDT methods
(Academic Press, 2023)
Rail inspection research is a substantive topic for the railway industry. Management of rolling contact fatigue rail defects is crucial for transport safety worldwide because uncontrolled development of these defects could ...
Teaching computing for complex problems in civil engineering and geosciences using big data and machine learning: synergizing four different computing paradigms and four different management domains
(Springer, 2023)
This article describes a teaching strategy that synergizes computing and management, aimed at the running of complex projects in industry and academia, in the areas of civil engineering, physics, geosciences, and a number ...
The feasibility of using copper slag in asphalt mixtures for base and surface layers based on laboratory results
(Construction and Building Materials - Elsevier, 2023)
This study aims to assess the feasibility of using copper slag (CS) in asphalt mixtures in both the surface and base
layers of road pavements. For this purpose, two sets of asphalt mixtures with different CS content (15 ...
Future Drought Propagation through the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus – a Nordic Perspective
(Elsevier, 2022)
Droughts can affect a multitude of public and private sectors, with impacts developing slowly over time. While droughts are traditionally quantified in relation to the hydrological components of the water cycle that they ...
Uni- and multivariate bias adjustment of climate model simulations in Nordic catchments: Effects on hydrological signatures relevant for water resources management in a changing climate
(Elsevier, 2023)
Hydrological climate-change-impact studies depend on climatic variables simulated by climate models. Due to parametrization and numerous simplifications, however, climate-model outputs come with systematic biases compared ...
Practical ANN prediction models for the axial capacity of square CFST columns
(Springer, 2023)
In this study, two machine-learning algorithms based on the artificial neural network
(ANN) model are proposed to estimate the ultimate compressive strength of square
concrete-filled steel tubular columns. The development ...
