Adaptive Vehicle Routing for Risk-averse Travelers
Abstract This paper develops an adaptive navigation approach for risk-averse travelers in a stochastic network while considering on- time arrival reliability, in which travelers’ final utility is measured with the prospect theory. Instead of finding ...

The comparative study on the ecological sensitivity analysis in Huixian karst wetland, China
Abstract This paper applies two methods to analyze the ecological sensitivity in Huixian wetland, (Guangxi province, China). The one method (the ecological unit method) is that the Huixian wetland reserve is divided into several ecological units...

A Method to Evaluate Energy Performance of Buildings Cooled by Room Air Conditioners
Abstract Because of their low cost, small air conditioning systems (AC) like split air conditioning systems are often installed without a proper study of building envelope performance. Furthermore, these systems are sometimes installed by tradesmen...

Improving the Performance of Concrete using 3D Fibres
Abstract This paper examines whether 3D fibre reinforcement can improve the toughness and flexural strength of concrete, when compared to equal dosage of straight steel fibres. This work was carried out to determine structural qualities that may...

The Special Features of the Deformation for the Bearing Building Constructions with Composite Reinforcement
Abstract The finite-element modeling of building constructions with the glass-fiber reinforced plastic and reinforcement on the base of basalt fibers has been carried out. The friction between reinforcement and composite matrix has been taken into...

Flow-Induced Vibration of Pipeline on Elastic Support
Abstract We study the self-excited flexural vibration of a pipe due to internal flow which is entirely supported on elastic foundation. We consider a finite length pipe with clamped ends made of isotropic material consist of an internal flow with...

Failure Mode of Columns of Existing R/C Building Damaged During the 2007 Niigata Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake
Abstract The school building investigated was a 3-story reinforced concrete (R/C) building built in 1963. The building suffered from a great deal of damage during both the 2004 Chuetsu Earthquake and the 2007 Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake. The damage of...

Effect of Soil-Structure Interaction on Torsional Response of Asymmetric Wall Type Systems
Abstract Generally in the analysis of structures, the base of structures is assumed to be fixed. Whereas, the soil under the structures foundation modify earthquake loading and also change the structural properties. Therefore, considering the fixed...

Numerical Evaluation of the Effects of Edge Beams Attached to the Cylindrical R/C Shell Structures
Abstract In Reinforced concrete (R/C) shell structures, the free edges of them are not usually continuous depending on the design and the supporting purposes. To strengthen these edges, edge beams are placed on such cutting edges. To obtain the...

The Problems of the Presence of Passenger and Freight Trains on the Same Track
Abstract Many features of the freight wagons/trains differ substantially from those of the passenger coaches/trains. As a result, sharing the same track affects directly or indirectly the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a railway...
