A parametric study on the influence of boundary frame flexibility in steel plate shear walls
(2020-01-17)
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are known to be a reliable lateral force-resisting system, particularly attractive for high-seismic regions, due to their high lateral strength and stiffness and stable hysteretic behavior. ...
Risk-calibrated evidential classifiers
(2020-01-17)
In some applications, intelligent agents rely on classifiers in order to make their decisions and accuracy of their predictions may play a significant role in performing their tasks successfully. Although deep neural ...
Developing a BIM-based tool for automated fall safety review
(2020-01-06)
Construction sites are globally known to be amongst the most dangerous working environments. Ensuring safety at sites can be difficult because it is not affected by just one parameter; but it is governed by the behavior ...
Investigation of corrosion in oil pipelines through surface nano-treatment
(2020-01)
Corrosion is the unintentional and degradation of a material caused by the reaction of that material with its environment and a natural possible hazard correlated with gas and oil generation and transportation facilities. ...
Key design features to improve the safety of surgical robotic systems and evaluation and improvement of a surgical-assistant test-bed robotic system
(2020-01-17)
The signi cance of the robots in the medical eld have been increasing rapidly. Humans and robots working together increases the strengths and decreases the limitations of surgical operations. Human life makes safety the ...
Development of two-phase biological self-healing agents for cement-based mortar
(2020-01-13)
Factors affecting durability of concrete structures are generally associated with each other. Due to its brittle nature, concrete can crack under stress and these cracks can decrease the service life of concrete structures. ...
State of charge estimation for lithium-based batteries
(2020-01)
This thesis proposes a new State of Charge (SOC) estimation method for lithiumbased batteries, which o ers a good trade-o between convergence and computation times. Lithium-based battery packages are quite common in the ...
Decomposing time series data via mixed integer programming
(2020-01-13)
Decomposing time series into seasonality, trend, and remainder reveals underlying insights to be used in forecasting and anomaly detection. Although there are several decomposition methods, no method guarantees all of the ...
An investigation of critical success factors for green retrofitting of existing healthcare buildings
(2020-01-17)
The fundamental principle of health care practice is ‘first do no harm,’ but ironically, the activities of healthcare itself consume critical pollution, and, consequently, indirect adverse effects on public health. Concerted ...
An assessment on the development of mosque architecture in the United Arab Emirates: cases from contemporary mosques
(2020-01-13)
This study has two main purposes: First, to demonstrate the change of mosque architecture in the UAE by chronologically following the selected examples from the first available mosque to the present day. The mosques in ...
