Ensemble gene expression programming: a new approach for evolution of parsimonious streamflow forecasting model
(Springer-Verlag, 2019)
A precise forecast of streamflow in intermittent rivers is of major difficulties and challenges in watershed management, particularly in arid and semiarid regions. The present research study introduces an ensemble gene ...
A hybrid support vector regression-firefly model for monthly rainfall forecasting
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)
Long-term prediction of rainfalls is one of the most challenging tasks in stochastic hydrology owing to the highly random characteristics of rainfall events. In this paper, a novel approach is adopted to develop a hybrid ...
Evaluation of reinforcing bars ratio effects on SCC beam-column joint performance
(Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering, 2019)
Beam-column joints require a high ductility during the unexpected loadings that necessitate the need for ductile concrete in such unprotected locations. Alternatively, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a sort of concrete ...
Seismic retrofit of full-scale substandard extended rectangular RC columns through CFRP jacketing: test results and design recommendations
(Journal of Composites for Construction, 2019)
Brittle behavior of substandard columns during earthquakes is among the most common reasons of structural failures. Because capacity design principles and ductile detailing concepts have not been properly adopted during ...
Design gyration number determination of 100 mm-diameter asphalt mixtures
(Springer, 2019)
At present, there is no accepted standard by highway authorities on the compaction procedures of 100 mm-diameter gyratory compactor specimens. In previous studies on gyratory compaction, the method of either coring from ...
A brief review of experimental friction loss studies for polyetylene pipes
(12th International Scientific Conference on Production Engineering Development and Modernization of Production, 2019)
Plastic pipes, especialiy polyethylene pipes have grown to become one of the freguently utilized material in pipeline systems owing to its advantages of corrosion, biological and chemical resistance over traditional metal ...
Iterative methodology on locating a cement plant
(Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019)
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 ...
Recurrent process on appointing an aid site: a case for airports
(Université d'Evry / Université Paris-Saclay, 2019)
Mathematical models have been used for many decades in order to improve the infrastructure design of transportation facilities. In this study, locational best fit airport infrastructure is determined for providing an urgent ...
A brief review and a new automatic method for interpretation of polypropylene modified bitumen based on fuzzy radon transform and watershed segmentation
(Springer, 2019)
This paper reviews development exploitation semi and full automatic strategies for interpretation of Polypropylene Modifed Bitumen (PMB) in the last decade. The main purpose of this study is to provide a new automatic ...
Modern soft computing techniques and their applications in civil engineering
(12th International Scientific Conference, 2019)
Soft computing (SC) is a group of technigues and methodologies applied to solve a wide range of problems spread in several areas of science. The aim is to exploit tolerance for imprecision, uncertainiy and partial truth ...
