Machine Learning Prediction Of Shear Capacity Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Wassim Ben Chaabene Nov 2020

Machine Learning Prediction Of Shear Capacity Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Wassim Ben Chaabene

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The use of steel fibers for concrete reinforcement has been growing in recent years owing to the improved shear strength and post-cracking toughness imparted by fiber inclusion. Yet, there is still lack of design provisions for steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in building codes. This is mainly due to the complex shear transfer mechanism in SFRC. Existing empirical equations for SFRC shear strength have been developed with relatively limited data examples, making their accuracy restricted to specific ranges. To overcome this drawback, the present study suggests novel machine learning models based on artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic programming (GP) to …


An Approach To Counting Vehicles From Pre-Recorded Video Using Computer Algorithms, Mishuk Majumder Nov 2020

An Approach To Counting Vehicles From Pre-Recorded Video Using Computer Algorithms, Mishuk Majumder

LSU Master's Theses

One of the fundamental sources of data for traffic analysis is vehicle counts, which can be conducted either by the traditional manual method or by automated means. Different agencies have guidelines for manual counting, but they are typically prepared for particular conditions. In the case of automated counting, different methods have been applied, but You Only Look Once (YOLO), a recently developed object detection model, presents new potential in automated vehicle counting. The first objective of this study was to formulate general guidelines for manual counting based on experience gained in the field. Another goal of this study was to …


Desarrollo De Un Esquema De Gestión Hídrica En El Sistema Acuífero Sap 3.1 Apoyado De La Tipificación De Suelos Y El Modelo Conceptual De Thöt, Maria Camila Soriano Espinosa, Camilo José Rodríguez Carvajal Jan 2020

Desarrollo De Un Esquema De Gestión Hídrica En El Sistema Acuífero Sap 3.1 Apoyado De La Tipificación De Suelos Y El Modelo Conceptual De Thöt, Maria Camila Soriano Espinosa, Camilo José Rodríguez Carvajal

Ingeniería Ambiental y Sanitaria

El presente proyecto tiene como objetivo principal desarrollar un esquema de gestión hídrica (EGH) en el sistema acuífero SAP 3.1, provincia llanos orientales, con base en la tipificación de suelos y el modelo conceptual de Tӧth, partiendo de que las aguas subterráneas se consideran una fuente alternativa de abastecimiento por su mejor calidad y el bajo costo de manejo en comparación al agua superficial, y teniendo en cuenta que el Departamento del Meta conoce la riqueza hídrica que está en su jurisdicción, no cuenta con una regulación adecuada en pro de una gestión hídrica a nivel subterráneo. La metodología empleada …


Design And Analysis Of A Pavement Marker Detection System, Timothy L. Johnson Ii Jan 2020

Design And Analysis Of A Pavement Marker Detection System, Timothy L. Johnson Ii

Theses and Dissertations--Civil Engineering

Personal injuries and property damage due to the failure of snow-plowable pavement markers which detach from pavement surfaces has led to the development of new all-plastic pavement markers which are located entirely below the planar surface of the pavement. The new all-plastic design pushes existing solutions used to avoid striping over highway reflectors into obsolescence since current solutions operate using electromagnets to sense the metal housings of snow-plowable pavement markers. A replacement solution is currently sought by the highway maintenance industry and three different marker detection methods were developed and tested on real-world highways with both new and aging pavement …
