Resource-constrained scheduling of construction projects and simulation of the entropy impact on a project’s duration and cost
(2017)
The paper reports on research work about the relationship between project resources and the entropy generated during construction, as well as on the development of a related mathematical model that utilises entropy for ...
Spatial seismic modeling of base-isolated buildings pounding against moat walls: effects of ground motion directionality and mass eccentricity
(2017)
Summary Structural impact between adjacent buildings may induce local and, in some extreme cases, severe damage, especially in the case of seismically isolated buildings. This study parametrically investigates in the ...
Discrete Model for the Structure and Strength of Cementitious Materials
(2017)
Cementitious materials are characterized by brittle behavior in direct tension and by transverse dilatation (due to microcracking) under compression. Microcracking causes increasingly larger transverse strains and a ...
