This paper describes a procedure developed for the estimation of marginal damage costs for airfield pavements in order to establish off-peak airport charges at Irish airports. The Commission for Aviation
Regulation has ...
Ground movements during excavation have the potential for major impact on nearby buildings, utilities and streets. Increasingly ground movements are controlled at the source. They are assessed by linking the ground loss ...
Traditional means to predict tunnel-induced damage for large groups of potentially affected above ground structures has generally focused on creating a settlement trough and estimating subsequent building response limited ...
Bridge structures are subject to continuous degradation due to the environment, ageing and excess loading. Monitoring of bridges is a key part of any maintenance strategy as it can give early warning if a bridge is becoming ...
Use of microcrystalline waxes for the protection of ceramic art objects from seismic events is an inexpensive and relatively popular technique in museum exhibition practice (Fig. 1). Unfortunately, because of the high ...
Dublin, Ireland is scheduled to constructing its first metro in 2010, with a pair
of tunnels connecting the city center to the airport. This study presents first-order
predictions of the anticipated soil settlement and ...
The progressive settlement of a plantation in North Carolina is explored through a post-damage inspection.
If a building is experiencing settlement or other deleterious movement, the underlying causes must be established ...
This paper presents a novel approach for structural damage detection. The cross-entropy method is used to estimate the structural parameters of a simply supported beam from its response to a static load consisting of a ...
For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
