A Model Driven Approach to Water Resource Analysis based on Formal Methods and Model Transformation
Abstract Several frameworks have been proposed in literature in order to cope with critical infrastructure modelling issues, and almost all rely on simulation techniques. Anyway simulation is not enough for critical systems, where any problem may...

Seismic behavior of piled raft with ground improvement supporting a base-isolated building on soft ground in Tokyo
Abstract The static and seismic behavior of a piled raft foundation, supporting a 12-story base-isolated building in Tokyo, is investigated by monitoring the soil–foundation–structure system. Since the building is located on loose silty sand,...

Accurate gradually varied flow model for water surface profile in circular channels
Abstract The paper presents an accurate approximation of the Froude number (F) for circular channels which is part of the gradually varied flow (GVF) equation. The proposed approximation is developed using optimization technique to minimize the...

Uncertainty Analysis – 5 Challenges with Today's Practice
Abstract As pointed out by Venkataraman and Pinto (2010), the importance of estimating project costs arises as the estimates become the benchmarks of which future costs are compared and evaluated. Although estimates become more accurate as decisions ...

Thermal analysis of reinforced concrete beams and frames
Abstract It is known that changes in temperature may produce stresses in concrete structures of mainly the same order of magnitude as the dead and live loads in some cases. However, the stresses due to temperature are produced only when the thermal...

The moment of inertia method to calculate equivalent ranges in non-proportional tension–torsion histories
Abstract A critical issue in multiaxial damage calculation in non-proportional (NP) histories is to find the equivalent stress or strain ranges and mean components associated with each rainflow-counted cycle of the stress (or strain) path. A...
