Teaching Sustainability Topics to Attract and Inspire the Next Generation of Civil Engineers

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice, 2015
AbstractRecent natural events such as earthquakes in Japan and storm surge effects in New York have led to the growing interest in sustainable civil engineering. While sustainability topics, such as soil liquefaction and green building design, are typically included within civil engineering programs at the baccalaureate or graduate levels, topics in ...

Deterministically generated negative selection algorithm for damage detection in civil engineering systems

Engineering Structures, 2019
Abstract In the framework of Structural Health Monitoring, vibration-based methods are commonly used to assess the condition of a structural system, being the dynamic properties sensitive to damage-induced changes. Within this context, negative selection, a bio-inspired classification algorithm, can be exploited to distinguish anomalous from normal ...
