Reliability-based stochastic transit assignment: Formulations and capacity paradox
Abstract This study develops link-based and approach-based variational inequality (VI) formulations for the frequency-based transit assignment with supply uncertainty, where link flows and flow on each outgoing link from each node are decision...

Influence of transverse loading onto push-out tests with deep steel decking
Abstract This paper presents the results of 20 push-out tests on shear stud connectors, placed centrally in the ribs of 58mm and 80mm deep steel decking. The tests were designed to investigate the realistic load–slip behaviour of the shear...

Effect of group walking traffic on dynamic properties of pedestrian structures
Abstract The increasing number of reported vibration serviceability problems in newly built pedestrian structures, such as footbridges and floors, under walking load has attracted considerable attention in the civil engineering community over the...

Impact of the reinforcement layout on the load capacity of reinforced concrete half-joints
Abstract A reinforced concrete half-joint beam has a complex geometry that includes both a locally disturbed nib region and a full depth section. While this configuration simplifies the design and construction procedures, half joint structures rely...

Regional distribution and losses of end-of-life steel throughout multiple product life cycles—Insights from the global multiregional MaTrace model
Abstract Substantial amounts of post-consumer scrap are exported to other regions or lost during recovery and remelting, and both export and losses pose a constraint to desires for having regionally closed material cycles. To quantify the challenges ...

A simplified elastic analysis of tunnel-piled structure interaction
Abstract In urban areas, engineers often need to assess tunnelling-induced displacements of piled structures and the resulting potential for damage. This paper presents an elastic study of tunnel-pile-structure interaction through Winkler-based...

Applying the Model of Soil Hydrophysical Properties for Arrangements of Temporary Enclosing Structures
Abstract The advantages of a quantitative estimation of hydrophysical properties of the soil during pre-design research in hydraulic engineering in the urban environment are considered based on the example of cofferdam project planning. The method...

On the use of nonlocal regularisation in slope stability problems
Abstract This study examines the use of nonlocal regularisation in a coupled consolidation problem of an excavated slope in a strain softening material. The nonlocal model reduces significantly the mesh dependency of cut slope analyses for a range...

Assessing the Relationship of Mineability of Rocks and Machines for Earthwork
Abstract Classification of the mineability of rocks is an integral part of the earthworks occurring in the implementation of engineering works. The existence of degrees of excavation difficulty allows us to specify the needs of mechanisms for...

Stochastic multi-scale finite element based reliability analysis for laminated composite structures
Abstract This paper proposes a novel multi-scale approach for the reliability analysis of composite structures that accounts for both microscopic and macroscopic uncertainties, such as constituent material properties and ply angle. The stochastic...

Effects of low speed limits on freeway traffic flow
Abstract Recent years have seen a renewed interest in Variable Speed Limit (VSL) strategies. New opportunities for VSL as a freeway metering mechanism or a homogenization scheme to reduce speed differences and lane changing maneuvers are being...

CO2 uptake potential due to concrete carbonation: A case study
Abstract The cement manufacturing process accounts for about 5% CO2 (carbon dioxide) released into the atmosphere. However, during its life cycle, concrete may capture CO2 through carbonation, in order to, partially, offset the impact of its...
