Due to the complex structure of observation based traffic accident data and the absence of an analytic model to define their characteristics, different models are required. Accident characteristics have been modeled for ...

In this paper, the author determines the most suitable transportation location for intervention in a large scale disaster in the Republic of Bulgaria, by means of the Weber Problem and the Weiszfeld method. The objective ...

The main purpose of this study is to respond to an important question in the field of structural engineering: is the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed concentrically steel braced frames acceptable or not? The ...

In this study, a cement plant location was determined by considering essential parameters such as the locations of resources and their importance in the manufacturing process. A crucial mathematical problem, named Weber ...

Frame optimization that contains highly non-linear and irregular functions and discrete design variables is one of the most challenging optimization problems. Therefore, gradient-based optimization techniques cannot be ...
