Data mining is the extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information from data. In recent time, data mining studies have been carried out in many engineering disciplines. In this paper the ...

The conventional definition of redundancy is applicable to skeletal structural systems only, whereas the concept of redundancy has never been discussed in the context of a continuum. Generally, structures in civil engineering ...

The present investigation deals with the study of compressive strength and characteristics of the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) of concrete containing recycled aggregates and nano-silica. For this purpose, compressive ...

The 2002 global ICT rankings by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) ranked Nigeria 27th among 51 African countries and 153rd among 178 countries in the world. It was against this background that the paper ...

Damage detection by measuring and analyzing vibration signals in a machine component is an established procedure in mechanical and aerospace engineering. This paper presents vibration signature analysis of steel bridge ...

The use of machine learning (ML), and in particular, artificial neural networks (ANN), in engineering applications has increased dramatically over the last years. However, by and large, the development of such applications ...

Recent developments in artificial neural networks (ANN) have opened up new possibilities in the domain of structural engineering. For inverse problems like structural identification of large civil engineering structures ...

The environmental impact assessment (EIA) in regard to road widening of a 26 km stretch in Reasi District of Jammu and Kashmir (Union Territory) has been studied. Impact on the environment included temperature, deforestation, ...

Radiation Shielding Concrete (RSC) is a superior alternative to many conventional and modern shields against gamma and neutron radiation hazards. The present work is the first comprehensive review on utilization of alternate ...

The increasing problem of industrial wastes' (IWs) accumulation and shortage of conventional construction materials such as aggregates can be simultaneously addressed by a careful selection and utilization of IWs in concrete. ...
