SERVICE LIFE OF CONCRETE BRIDGES
2004Society's largest and most long-term investments are made in its infrastructure particularly roads, bridges and railway. Attention should therefore be drawn not only to initial construction costs but also to the growing future maintenance costs. Vast construction of new structures with short construction time and poor works quality, leads to immense ...

Bridging the tenant-provider gap in cloud services
Proceedings of the Third ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing, 2012The disconnect between the resource-centric interface exposed by today's cloud providers and tenant goals hurts both entities. Tenants are encumbered by having to translate their performance and cost goals into the corresponding resource requirements, while providers suffer revenue loss due to un-informed resource selection by tenants.

Using Virtual Services to Bridge the Semantic Gap
2010 IEEE Fourth International Conference on Semantic Computing, 2010In cloud computing, data, software, and hardware are wrapped as services, which are made available on demand. Given a demand, the associated services need to interact with each other to fulfill the task. As a result, service reuse and composition are inevitable. The current prevailing Web service composition paradigms follow the bottom-up manner, i.e.,

Assessing Bridge Serviceability by Evaluation of Dynamic Parameters
IABSE Symposium, Lisbon 2005: Structures and Extreme Events, 2005Deterioration of concrete bridges presents a major concern in countries worldwide. In Croatia structural degradation is enhanced by aggressive maritime environment with frequent high winds. Chloride attack followed by cracking, delamination, splitting and peeling off of concrete is identified as major deterioration mechanism.

System for In-Service Strain Monitoring of Ordinary Bridges
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2005An In-Service Bridge Monitoring System (ISBMS) has been developed to provide near real-time web-based monitoring of live load strains in a bridge. The monitoring system is small, battery-operated, can be rapidly deployed, and is programmed and interrogated via a user-friendly web interface.
