Mitigating Wildfire Impacts on Mobility Using GIS, Fire Modeling, and Operations Simulation

Creator:: Al-Hamadani, Saifaldawlah
Abstract:: Wildfires are a recurring disaster that threatens communities living close to forests and result in significant financial losses along with negative environmental effects, especially with the increase of wildfire season length and intensity due to climate change and increasing urbanization. Wildfire events can also have a significant impact on the...

Perceived Effectiveness of Highway Work Zone Intrusion Mitigation Technologies: A State DOT Perspective

Creator:: Kadalli, Manjunath Veeresh
Abstract:: Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...

Automated Monitoring of Construction Operations for Data-Driven Decision Making

Creator:: Rashid, Khandakar, M.
Abstract:: The continuous improvement of construction operations requires a systematic approach of monitoring and making appropriate control actions. However, the lack of real-time information hinders this workflow and eventually compromises timely and effective decision-making. Project managers spend a great deal of time and effort to solve problems emerging from lack of...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Use of Flashing Lights in Traffic Safety of Vulnerable Road Users

Creator:: Ahmed, Ananna
Abstract:: Vulnerable road users, anyone interacting with the roadway facility without the protection of an automobile, experience greater risk for more severe crash outcomes. Multimodal roadway facilities often times provide less separation and more points of conflict between different types of road users. To promote vulnerable road user safety, transportation agencies...

Evaluating the Feasibility of Mass Timber as a Mainstream Building Material in the US Construction Market: Industry Perception, Cost Competitiveness, and Environmental Performance Analysis

Creator:: Ahmed, Shafayet
Abstract:: Mass timber has been considered as a promising building material because of its structural rigidity, environmental sustainability, and renewability nature. In Europe and Australia, mass timber materials have been used for many different types of construction such as residential, commercial, education, and industrial. However, the construction practitioners in the U.S....

Automated Chemical Acidification Testing of Cementitious Materials

Creator:: Zaw, Myo
Abstract:: Due to its availability, versatility, structural capability, and economic advantages, concrete is the most widely used material in building sewer networks and other wastewater structures such as treatment stations, wastewater digesters, septic tanks, pumping stations, hydraulic risers, utility risers and covers, etc. Concrete structures exposed to sewer environments can experience...

Decision-Making for Cross-Laminated Timber Modular Construction Logistics Using Discrete-Event Simulation

Creator:: Abiri, Bahar
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for construction project management are budget and time management. Modular construction has the potential to improve construction productivity by minimizing time and costs while improving safety and quality. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels are beneficial for modular construction due to the high level of prefabrication, adequate dimensional...

Optimization of Construction Equipment Efficiency and Cost using Simulation and Field Data

Creator:: Kumar, Deepak
Abstract:: Unlike other industries, overall efficiency of construction projects has been growing minimally which directly causes cost overruns of projects. Though reducing idle time and increasing operational efficiency of construction equipment could result in significant cost saving, there is lack of practical knowledge of adjusting operational efficiency and integrating cost and...

Bridge Inspection Using Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs)

Creator:: Xu, Yiye
Abstract:: Bridge inspection is a critical task needed to monitor bridge quality and serviceability. In the U.S., 40% of bridges are more than 50 years old while most bridges are typically designed for a lifespan of 50 years. 9.1% of the 614,387 bridges across the U.S are considered structurally deficient. These...

A BIM-based Simulation Framework for Fire Evacuation Planning

Creator:: Sun, Qi
Abstract:: Fire hazards threaten human life and property safety. Since it is unrealistic to study human behavior during a real fire hazard, computational tools are a better choice to computational tools are a better choice to simulate fire growth and human behavior for predicting evacuation performance in chaotic emergency situations. Although...
