Management of bridges with shallow foundations exposed to local scour
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018)
The Serbian road network includes a large portion of bridges with shallow foundations vulnerable to local scour as tragically demonstrated during the extreme flooding in May 2014. Currently, the bridge management procedures ...
Landslide assessment of the Starca basin (Croatia) using machine learning algorithms
(Acta Geotechnica Slovenica, 2011)
In this research, machine learning algorithms were compared in a landslide-susceptibility assessment. Given the input set of GIS layers for the Starca Basin, which included geological, hydrogeological, morphometric, and ...
Vulnerability Assessment of Bridges Exposed to Scour
(Transportation Research Record, 2013)
To improve the allocation of funds for the maintenance and risk mitigation of transportation infrastructure, there is a dire need for a simplified, yet sufficiently accurate, methodology to estimate bridge vulnerability ...
Estimation of thermal impulse response of a multi-layer building wall through in-situ experimental measurements in a dynamic regime with applications
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
The dynamic thermal characteristics of the components of a building have a primary influence on the energy performance of the building's envelope under real environmental conditions. In this study, a novel approach for ...
Providing answers to questions from automatically collected web pages for intelligent decision making in the construction sector
(Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2008)
The construction sector is notorious for the dichotomy between (a) its intensive use of information in its decision-making processes and (b) its limited access to, and insufficient use of, the pertinent information that ...
Detecting Concepts in Construction Project Documents using Statistical Measures for Semantic Similarity
(Civil-Comp Press, 2015)
This paper addresses the problem of automatic concept detection in a construction project documentation with the aim of increasing the efficiency of information retrieval for all stakeholders in real-time in cases when ...
Analisys of sources of information on technology for project managers in civil engineering
(Faculty of Civil Engineering University of Zagreb, 2013)
In everyday work, civil engineers are forced to search for technological information. Out of the many available sources of information, there is no one perfect source. The speed of finding the required information has often ...
A novel Quality Control Framework for the management of existing bridges
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), 2017)
The paper presents a framework to evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs) in qualitative manner. This framework is the basis for establishment of Quality Control plans for existing bridges. It addresses the dynamics of ...
A computational method for laminated composite plates based on layerwise theory
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
This paper presents a new computational method for stress-strain analysis of simply supported rectangular cross-ply laminated composite plates subjected to transverse loads which was applied in the authors FORTRAN program ...
Building a Construction Project Key-Phrase Network from Unstructured Text Documents
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017)
During a construction project lifecycle, an extensive corpus of unstructured or semistructured text documents is generated. The nature of unstructured sources impedes users' acquisition, analysis, and reuse of relevant ...
