Form-maker and collaborator : the role of the structural engineer 

Tao, Alice (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Over the past century, there have existed two major types of structural engineers. Some, like Robert Maillart, contributed greatly to the advancement of new forms. Others, such as Peter Rice, produced their most innovative ...

Resource allocation problems in stochastic sequential decision making 

Lakshmanan, Hariharan, 1980- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In this thesis, we study resource allocation problems that arise in the context of stochastic sequential decision making problems. The practical utility of optimal algorithms for these problems is limited due to their high ...

The use of a distributed hydrologic model to predict dynamic landslide susceptibility for a humid basin in Puerto Rico 

Kamal, Sameer A. (Sameer Ahmed) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis describes the use of a distributed hydrology model in conjunction with a Factor of Safety (FS) algorithm to predict dynamic landslide susceptibility for a humid basin in Puerto Rico. The Mameyes basin, located ...

Application of a gradient-based algorithm to structural optimization 

Ghisbain, Pierre (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Optimization methods have shown to be efficient at improving structural design, but their use is limited in the engineering practice by the difficulty of adapting state-of-the-art algorithms to particular engineering ...

Impact of cladding on mid-rise buildings in the Northridge Earthquake 

Kuo, Chuan-Hua (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In this thesis, the importance of cladding panels on mid-rise buildings in an earthquake-prone region is investigated. A cladding panel acts as a protective or an insulating layer to control weather infiltration. The ...
