Shared-Mode Resource Allocation for Cloud-Based Load Testing
IEEE Access, 2020 Resource allocation is essential for cloud-based load testing. The existing techniques use coarse-grained resource allocation methods with an entire virtual machine occupied by a single test task for cloud-based load testing.

Optimizing Finite Element Models for Concrete Bridge Assessment With Proof Load Testing
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 Proof load testing of existing reinforced concrete bridges is becoming increasingly important as the current bridge stock is aging. In a proof load test, a load that corresponds to the factored live load is applied to a bridge structure, to directly ...
