In this paper, a global modeling approach was proposed for multi sensor fusion problems. Once the global model was investigated considering the data association and fusion, it is adapted to track to track correlation problem ...

The construction industry in countries experiencing severe economic crisis has vital importance to get out of stagnation because of its direct relations with 200 different sectors. In this study, the relationship between ...

Construction performance parameters have experienced greater international attention and discussion in recent years. In this study, the change in the load-bearing system cost of a reinforced concrete housing estate building ...

Since the cement industry emits large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the sector is recently under scrutiny. This study empirically investigates the co-integration and the causality relationships between ...

Friction welding was applied to dissimilar aluminum cast bars alloyed with 2 and 8% copper and the effects of upset time on joint properties were evaluated in this study. The welding process was carried out by a vertical ...

This paper reports an experimental study of tribological characteristics of cylinder liner (CL)/piston ring (PR) pair. Reciprocating wear process parameters are optimized for minimum weight loss and friction based on mixed ...

The heuristic method is one of the methods used for the scheduling of resource-constrained projects. This method is commonly used in programming the projects with high number of activities and resources such as construction ...

The treatment of liquid aluminum prior to casting typically consists of purging gas and/or fluxes through the melt. By the use of several chemicals during these operations, several environmental problems can occur. Therefore, ...

The selection of most proper materials in engineering design is known as an important stage of the design process. In order to successfully complete this stage, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge about the structure ...

Concrete structures built on sulfate rich soil or wetland, or directly exposed to seawater are subjected to sulfate attack, which might be critical, as the durability of concrete is highly dependent on its resistance against ...
