Design and performance of Thomas Telford's Bonar Bridge and Mythe Bridge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This paper assesses two cast-iron arch bridges of Thomas Telford (1757-1834) - Bonar Bridge (1810-12) and Mythe Bridge (1824-26) - to draw a broader conclusion about his career in bridge building. The bridges are introduced ...
Design, fabrication, and testing of plain concrete beams using topology optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Topology optimization is a structural design tool that can autonomously generate efficient forms within a design domain by ascribing fabrication material to key locations of a structure while removing it from underutilized ...
Representing accessibility in long-term household decisions evidence from vehicle ownership and residential location-related choice models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This study examines variations in representing accessibility and how well these representations reflect people's preferences for accessibility as observed in their behaviour in long-term transportation and location-related ...
Application of rate dependent soil model, MIT-SR, for evaluation of long-term ground movements due to consolidation and creep
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Saturated clays exhibit rate-dependent behavior (i.e. their stress-strain-strength properties are significantly affected by the applied loading rate). This is of great significance for geotechnical projects, particularly ...
Separating signal from noise : material demand forecasting and network simulation in a multi-echelon supply chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Mismatches between forecasted and actual demand, for construction, repair and maintenance work in a regulated utility, is a growing risk for the performance of the supply chain. High target service levels and high levels ...
Effect of flaw shape and penetrating fluids on hydraulic fracture initiation and propagation in porous material (gypsum)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The need of new energy sources to supply the energy consumption requirements of modern societies, in conjunction with the decrease in the conventional natural reserves of oil and gas and the improvement of the technological ...
Inferring travel activity pattern from smartphone sensing data using deep learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Understanding the travel routine of the individuals is important in many domains. In transport research understanding daily travel routine is crucial for modeling the travel behavior of the individuals. Such models help ...
