Applicability of Multi‐Agent Simulation for Crowd Control After a Large‐Scale Event
ABSTRACT This study aims to assess the applicability of multi‐agent simulation for crowd control after large‐scale events. It focuses on pedestrian pathways around a stadium in an urban area. By utilizing real‐world pedestrian flow data, we investigated the parameters essential for simulation and analyzed crowd control.

Bridging the Gap: Canadian Engineer Operations at Canal du Nord–Bourlon Wood, 1918 [PDF]
During the last hundred days of the Great War, the Allied armies swept eastward past the Hindenburg Line with hammer-blow offensive warfare. Performing their work under intense machine gun and shell fire, engineers erected bridges and constructed roads ...

Experimental Assessment of Double‐Skin Tubular Columns Under Eccentric Loads
Abstract The CFDST (concrete‐filled double‐skin tubular) columns consist of concentric steel tubes with concrete filling between them and have a lower self‐weight compared to other configurations of composite columns. Double‐skin columns provide good structural performance, even when subjected to seismic activity, explosions, and dynamic loads ...

Study of pedestrian-induced vibrations on timber footbridges
In Brazil, studies about pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges have been carried out since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there is no record of such studies and the Brazilian Standard NBR 7190 (1997) for the design ...

ABSTRACT The structural design optimization aims for robust structures with minimal use of material resources, leading to slender and thin‐walled structures, which entail a higher risk of stability problems. This issue is further influenced by geometrical imperfections, which are subjected to uncertainties.
