Seismic reliability assessment of urban water networks
(2014)
We present a framework for the seismic risk assessment of water supply networks, operating in either normal or abnormal conditions. We propose a methodology for assessing the reliability of water pipe networks combining ...
Reliability Assessment of Urban Water Distribution Networks Under Seismic Loads [electronic resource]
(2013)
Presented herein is a methodology for the seismic assessment of the reliability of urban water distribution networks (UWDN) based on general seismic assessment standards, as per the American Lifelines Alliance (ALA) ...
Scheduling Resource-Constrained Projects with Ant Colony Optimization Artificial Agents
(2010)
The paper presents a methodology to schedule resource-constrained construction projects by use of algorithms based on ant colony optimization (ACO)
Bid mark-up selection using artificial neural networks and an entropy metric
(2010)
The purpose of the paper is to perform bid mark-up optimisation through the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) and a metric of the selected bid mark-up's derived entropy. The scope is to provide an alternative, ...
