Reliable Transportation of Humanitarian Supplies in Disaster Response: Model and Heuristic
Abstract When a region is hit by a severe disaster, humanitarian supplies must be provided to victims/evacuees efficiently throughout the entire disaster and post-disaster periods. The emergency packages include but not limited to food, water,...

A Nation-wide Macroscopic Freight Traffic Model
Abstract It has long since been recognised that it is insufficient to estimate freight flows as a part of passenger transport models. However, there is still no established standard for dedicated commercial traffic models, like there is in private...

Combining Static and Dynamic Models for Traffic Signal Optimization Inherent Load-dependent Travel Times in a Cyclically Time-expanded Network Model
Abstract Travel times in traffic models are of great interest for developing realistic solutions for traffic assignment and traffic signal coordination in urban traffic networks. In this paper, we present a cyclically time-expanded network for this...

Review on the Use of Instrumented Pavement Test Data in Validating Flexible Pavement Mechanistic Load Response Models
Abstract For designing pavement structures effectively and efficiently designers are moving from the old empirical design approach to the new Mechanistic Empirical (M-E) pavement design procedure. In M-E design, the pavement responses in terms of...

Effect of Load Height on Buckling Resistance of Steel Beams
Abstract This paper presents a detailed investigation of effect of load height on buckling resistance of steel beams. Shapes that are intended to be used primarily as a beam are generally proportioned so that moment of inertia about the principal...

Strength of Normal Concrete Using Metallic and Synthetic Fibers
Abstract Based on the laboratory experiment, cube and cylindrical specimens have been designed with metallic and non-metallic groups of fibers. In metallic fibers, steel fibers of hook end with 50, 60 aspect ratio and crimped round (copper coated)...

Influence of freeze–thaw cycles on fracture parameters values of lightweight concrete
Abstract Freezing and thawing resistance is very important characteristic also in the case of lightweight concrete. The paper deals with the influence of periodic freeze–thaw cycles on lightweight concrete fracture parameters values. Sets of...

Capacity of doors during evacuation conditions
Abstract In this paper, we show how the capacity of evacuation doors is affected by the evacuation door width, population composition, the presence of an open door and evacuation conditions. For this, laboratory experiments have been performed....

Simulation-based Optimization of Mixed Road Pricing Policies in a large Real-world Network
Abstract The joint optimization of various types of road pricing strategies for a large-scale real-world network is challenging. Dynamic network supply models can overcome this shortcoming, and provide more detailed information regarding the system...

Cyclic behavior of braced concrete frames: Experimental investigation and numerical simulation
Abstract RC shear walls have been widely used as the main lateral-load resisting system in medium and high-rise buildings because of their inherent large lateral stiffness and load resistance. But, in general, the energy dissipating capacity of RC...

Numerical Study of Buckling Behaviour of Cold-formed C-channel Steel Purlin with Perforation
Abstract Cold-formed C-channel steel purlins are widely used in construction industry. Since the cost of the steel is the main consideration in design, the concept of introducing web opening has been applied in the construction. A numerical study...
