An Experimental and Numerical Parametric Study on a Novel T-Shaped Steel–Concrete Composite Shear Wall

Buildings
In this paper, a novel T-shaped steel–concrete composite shear wall (TSCCW) is proposed. Low-cycle reciprocating tests were carried out on the TSCCW to investigate its performance in terms of its damage characteristics, hysteretic properties, energy ...

Using Kalman filter algorithm for short-term traffic flow prediction in a connected vehicle environment

Journal of Modern Transportation, 2019
We develop a Kalman filter for predicting traffic flow at urban arterials based on data obtained from connected vehicles. The proposed algorithm is computationally efficient and offers a real-time prediction since it invokes the connected vehicle data ...

Infrastructural justice for responsible software engineering,

Journal of Responsible Technology
In recent years, we have seen many examples of software products unintentionally causing demonstrable harm. Many guidelines for ethical and responsible computing have been developed in response. Dominant approaches typically attribute liability and blame to individual companies or actors, rather than understanding how the working practices, norms, and ...

Investigating the dynamic characteristics of crack formation of Jiangxi lateritic soil subjected to drying-wetting cycles

Journal of Safety and Sustainability
Earthen dams made of Jiangxi lateritic soil are widely built in Jiangxi Province, China. Field observations showed uneven settlements and cracks in the earthen dams, which were attributed to the dynamic water-level fluctuation in the reservoir.
