Artificial neural network model to predict the compressive strength of eco-friendly geopolymer concrete incorporating silica fume and natural zeolite
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020)
The growing concern about global climate change and its adverse impacts on societies is putting severe pressure on the construction industry as one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases. Given the environmental ...
Geographic information system-based investment system for photovoltaic power plants location analysis in Turkey
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The motivation of this research, development, demonstration, deployment, and diffusion (RD3 &D) study is to present the progress of designing the GIS-based location selection module of autonomous investment decision support ...
A GIS-based multi-criteria model for offshore wind energy power plants site selection in both sides of the Aegean Sea
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020)
Location selection for offshore wind farms is a major challenge for renewable energy policy, marine spatial planning, and environmental conservation. This selection constitutes a multi-criteria decision-making problem, ...
Hydraulic and strength characteristics of pervious concrete containing a high volume of construction and demolition waste as aggregates
(Construction and Building Materials, 2020)
Recently, construction and demolition waste generated in Malaysia has dramatically increased. For long-term sustainable development, demolition wastes can be recycled in concrete production. Recycled concrete aggregate ...
A GIS‑based multi‑criteria evaluation for MSW landfill site selection in Antalya, Burdur, Isparta planning zone in Turkey
(Environmental Earth Sciences, 2020)
Defining the suitable positions for landfill sites on a regional scale is a decision-making procedure based on a number of criteria. In this study, geographic information system analysis and multi criteria decision making ...
On the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed steel braced frames
(Engineering with Computers, 2020)
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 ...
Failure mechanisms and cracking performance of T-shaped SCC beam-column connections at top floor: test results and FE modeling
(Structures, 2020)
In recent decades, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has gradually gained popularity based on its unique workability without any internal and external vibration. SCC development must ensure an acceptable level of balance ...
Viability of agricultural wastes as substitute of natural aggregate in concrete: A review on the durability-related properties
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020)
Increase in construction activities has led to rapid depletion of natural resources, particularly aggregates which are utilized in the production of concrete. At the same time, there are huge amount of solid wastes originating ...
Performance of the Whale Optimization Algorithm in Space Steel Frame Optimization Problems
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2020)
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 ...
A hybrid of firefly and biogeography-based optimization algorithms for optimal design of steel frames
(Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, 2020)
The principle purpose of the current study is to hybridize firefly algorithm (FA) as a nature-inspired meta-heuristic developed based on the flashing patterns and biogeography-based optimization (BBO) to present a qualified ...
