Implementations of Statistics, Probability, and Reliability in the Performance-Based Seismic Design of Structures
(2023)It is well-known that the main objective of building codes is to guarantee life safety by preventing the collapse of structures in major earthquakes. However, there is a knowledge gap about controlling structural damage ... -
Implementing Eurocode 7 to achieve reliable geotechnical designs
(IOS Press, 2013)This paper examines how the different measures to achieve safe and reliable geotechnical designs are implemented in Eurocode 7. These measures include: the use of the concept of geotechnical categories of take account of ... -
Implications of COVID-19 for future travel behaviour in the rural periphery
(2022)Background: The design, management and operation of transport systems is a complex activity and this has only been exacerbated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern has been raised over the likelihood of ... -
Implications of masonry infillヨrelated uncertainty on the optimal seismic retrofitting of existing buildings
(2023)Many research efforts have focused on developing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes for selecting the optimal seismic retrofit alternative when several important decision variables (DVs) need to be considered. ... -
Implicit spatial inference with sparse local features
(IEEE, 2008) -
The Importance of Dynamic Effects in Progressive Collapse
(2010)This paper presents a methodology to assess the extent of damage to a multi-storey structure following localised collapse. This is accomplished through the design of an algorithm to track progressive collapse in a structure ... -

An improved error resilience scheme for highly compressed data
(IEEE, 2002)The coding of highly compressed data streams involves removing as much redundancy from the stream as possible. However, as redundancy is removed, so is the ability of the decoder to recover from error conditions caused by ... -
Improved fatigue life of floating offshore wind turbine towers with tuned mass damper inerters (TMDIs)
(2023)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on earth. FOWTs are very flexible and dynamically sensitive, they are also installed in very harsh environments and exposed to stochastic ... -
Improved geotechnical behavior of an expansive soil amended with tire-derived aggregates having different gradations
(2020)This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate (TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade deposit of clay soil with high ... -
Improved Perceptions of Autonomous Vehicles In Urban Mobility Environment Through Deep learning Object Detection Algorithms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) or self-driving cars have become the most exciting area of research in the field of transportation in the last decade. Implementation of AVs in real-world requires further investigation especially ... -
An improved technique for the measurement of the complex susceptibility of magnetic colloids in the microwave region
(Elsevier, 2010)Measurements by means of the short-circuit (S/C) and open circuit (O/C) transmission line techniques are well established methods for investigating the magnetic and dielectric properties of magnetic colloids, respectively. ... -
An Improved Very Low-Power Electrode Contact Impedance Monitor
(Matec Web of Conferences, 2016) -
Improvement of tensile strength of cold sprayed Fe deposits via in-process powder preheating
(2022)Cold sprayed Fe deposits were manufactured with non-preheated and preheated powders, respectively. The microstructure of the deposits was characterized by electron backscattered diffraction. The tensile property of the ... -
Improving internal erosion resistance of silty sand using additives
(2020)Seepage-induced erosion, leading to piping, is one of the most common causes of failure for earth dykes, levees and dams. Various soil improvement (mixing) technologies can be employed to improve the internal erosion ... -
Improving safety through statistical analysis of construction fatalities
(2023)The construction industry has the highest rates of fatalities, disabilities, and injuries & illnesses among all industries. While this situation has improved in some countries, for example the UK, to achieve sustained ... -
Improving seismic resilience of schools and educational communities
(2023)The sustainability of school infrastructure and the resilience of the educational communities to natural hazards is of paramount importance to provide the safety and protection from the various natural and man-made threats ...
