BIM-based automated schedule generation in reinforced concrete-framed buildings
(2018)In the construction industry, project schedule has been regarded as a fundamental tool to complete a project under the targeted duration and cost. A sound schedule usually depends on schedulers’ construction management ... -
Building information modeling-enhanced visualization tool for structural health monitoring
(2018)With growing number of modern complex infrastructure, robust and autonomous condition assessment of large-scale structures under operational loads and extreme climatic events has garnered significant attention. Data-driven ... -
Durability and mechanical properties of Portland cement concrete that utilizes crumb rubber as an alternative fine aggregat
(2018)This research project investigated in an intensive experimental program the influence of using crumb rubber in the mechanical properties and durability of Portland cement concrete mixtures. Crumb rubber is produced from ... -
Embodied energy assessment of building structural systems using building information modeling
(2017)As the population of the world increases, the need to develop sustainable housing has gained worldwide attention. Although buildings contribute to socio-economic development, they are also among the biggest consumers of ... -
Entropy-based reliability analysis and design in slope engineering
(2018)Canada has a wide range of landslide types reflecting the diverse geomorphic and geologic environments in the nation’s landscape. Many civil engineering projects are located on or near sloping ground, and thus are ... -
Flexural bending behaviour of built-up glulam box-selection beams at ambient and elevated temperatures
(2018)The recent increasing trend of sustainable construction and advancement in the manufacturing of engineered wood have made products such as glued-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) preferred building ... -
Improved data compression techniques to analyze big data in structural health monitoring
(2018)With growing number of complex and slender structures worldwide, long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) has been intensively pursued to retrofit and control these structures under extreme climatic events. Modern ... -
An improved multi-variate empirical mode decomposition method towards system identification of structures
(2018)Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a key role towards condition assessment of large-scale civil structures using modern sensing technology. Once the rich vibration data is collected, important system information ... -
Quantile-based reliability analysis and design in slope stability
(2018)The study and analysis of slopes are essential for understanding their performance and, in particular, their stability, reliability, and deformations. Traditional slope stability analysis involves predicting the location ... -
Structural fire performance of bolted glulam beam-to-column concealed connections
(2018)Recent increased interest in the application of engineered-wood products, such as glued-laminated (glulam) timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT), in the Canadian building construction market has prompted amendments to ... -
Towards identification of progressive damage in structures under non-stationary excitation
(2018)Monitoring and retrofitting of large-scale infrastructure is of paramount importance specifically when they are subjected to natural hazards like strong wind, severe earthquakes or man-made excitation. Once the rich ... -
Towards system identification using single channel measurement in wireless sensing network
(2018)In the last few years, structural health monitoring has gained signifcant popularity to perform real-time condition assessment of civil structures. With the aid of mobile sensing network, movable wireless sensors have ...
