Entropy-Based Heuristic for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling
(2016)
A heuristic is presented for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), based on maximizing the entropy of the project's resource histogram. The proposed RCPSP algorithm makes use of the general theory ...
Overview of the Pathology, Repair and Strengthening of Adobe Structures
(2013)
Adobe construction is considered to be an important feature of the international architectural heritage. To achieve the effective preservation of culturally significant adobe structures, the factors that cause their ...
Laboratory testing and finite element simulation of the structural response of an adobe masonry building under horizontal loading
(2014)
•A 1:2 scaled adobe masonry building is tested in laboratory under horizontal loading.•Cracking initiation/propagation and force–displacement response are monitored.•Damage limit states at different levels of deformation ...
Adobe bricks under compression: Experimental investigation and derivation of stress–strain equation
(2014)
This study investigates the response of adobe bricks to compressive loading. It records the state-of-the-art in adobe characterization and it provides extensive experimental data on samples of various sizes tested in ...
