Monitoring of Flexible Support Effects Using the Responses of Multi-span Bridges via Wavelet Transform
(2012)In this paper the temporal and spectral effects of the flexible support on the response of multi-span bridges subjected to spatially-varying differential support motions are investigated by using wavelet transform. The ... -
Monitoring of traffic related hydrocarbon concentrations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2005)The research completed represents an experimental investigation of atmospheric hydrocarbon concentrations in the Dublin area, of which very little reported data were previously available. There was a notable lack of ... -
Monitoring the Static Vehicle Load on a Heavy Goods Vehicle
(2015)Static vehicle load can be calculated accurately from measurements of axle strain. This paper describes, in outline form, a series of laboratory and field tests on an instrumented heavy goods vehicle. The vehicle was ... -
The mortars of Coliemore harbour: comparison with other 19th century mortars of harbours and fortifications in Dublin Bay
(2023)This paper investigates the mortars used to build Coliemore harbour in 1869: their materials, sources, technology and current condition. It compares their composition with other Dublin harbours and fortifications in ... -
Multi fidelity Information Fusion for Efficient Estimation of Small Failure Probabilities Considering Multiple Limit States
(2023)Stochastic simulation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), are typically used to estimate failure probabilities in reliability analysis, but they can be computationally intensive, often requiring many evaluations ... -
Multi-Disciplinary Resilience Modeling for Developing Mitigation Policies in Seismic-prone Communities: Application to Salt Lake City, Utah
(2023)This paper presents a multi-disciplinary resilience modeling methodology to assess the vulnerability of the built environment and economic systems. This methodology can assist decision-makers with developing effective ... -
Multi-objective evaluation of target reliabilities for structural fire design
(2023)Target reliabilities for structural design are mostly informed by risk-based optimization. Such optimization is often computationally challenging, and especially in structural fire engineering involves numerous design ... -
Multi-Path Progression Optimization at an Urban Interchange: A Case Study
(2023)Progression optimization is a common approach for coordinating traffic signals along arterial streets as well as arterial networks. A number of techniques with varying degrees of refinement have been developed for this ... -
Multi-resolution wavelet pitch controller for spar-type floating offshore wind turbines including wave-current interactions
(2020)This paper proposes a wavelet multi-resolution based individual pitch control strategy for spar-type floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and investigates its performance under joint wind-wave-current loads considering ... -
Multi-taper S-transform method and its application in the EPSD and coherence estimation of earthquake ground motions
(2023)Estimating the accurate evolutionary power spectral density (EPSD) and coherence of earthquake ground motions based on measured records is essential in earthquake engineering. This study introduces a multi-taper S-transform ... -
Multi-Time Unscented Kalman Inversion for Calibration of Expensive Chaotic Models
(2023)Computer models traditionally used for weather and climate prediction have extremely high computational costs, which impedes their use in infrastructure design decisions, scientific exploration, and uncertainty quantification. ... -
A multidisciplinary approach for risk analysis of infrastructure networks in response to extreme weather
(2016)In recent years, it is becoming more frequent the occurrence of extreme weather events across Europe, such as rain induced landslides, river floods, winter storms and hurricanes. These hazards result ... -
Multifidelity support vector machines classifiers exploiting discretization error estimators for structural reliability
(2023)In reliability analysis, the estimation of probability of failure is computionally challenging. The deterministic numerical simulation of large civil engineering structures using discretization techniques such as the Finite ... -
Municipal solid waste management under COVID-19: challenges and recommendations
(2021)Covid-19 is proving to be an unprecedented disaster for human health, social contacts and the economy worldwide. It is evident that SARS-CoV-2 may spread through municipal solid waste (MSW), if collected, bagged, handled, ...
