EFFICIENCY OF PUMP OPERATION IN HYDRONIC HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMSJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 57-62 - 2006
Per Fahlén, Hendrik Voll, Jüri Naumov
Developments in pump technology provide new possibilities of improving both the
efficiency and the quality of control of hydronic heating and cooling systems.
Improved pump efficiency and direct flow control can substantially reduce the
drive power to circulation pumps. Measurements show that a simple VSD (variable
speed drive) does not unduly degrade the efficiency of commonly used pumps. An

PREDICTION OF GOVERNMENT-OWNED BUILDING ENERGY CONSUMPTION BASED ON AN RRELIEFF AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE MODELJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 21 Số 6 - Trang 748-760
Hyojoo Son, Changmin Kim, Changwan Kim, Youngcheol Kang
Accurate prediction of the energy consumption of government-owned buildings in
the design phase is vital for government agencies, as it enables formulation of
the early phases of development of such buildings with a view to reducing their
environmental impact. The aim of this study was to identify the variables that
are associated with energy consumption in government-owned buildings and to

MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF TIMBER‐TO‐CONCRETE CONNECTIONS WITH INCLINED SCREWSJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 201-207 - 2007
Saulius Kavaliauskas, Audronis Kazimieras Kvedaras, Balys Valiūnas
The purpose of this paper is to adopt the Johansen's yielding theory as a
possibility to predict the ultimate load for timber‐to‐concrete joints using
self‐tapping threaded connectors screwed at an angle into the wood. The ultimate
load‐bearing capacity of a single connector is predicted to be when either the
stresses in the wood reach the plastic failure stress level or when a
combination of plas... hiện toàn bộ
CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR AND DECISION MAKING IN THE REFURBISHMENT INDUSTRY‐A DATA MINING APPROACHJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 75-84 - 2010
Chung-Fah Huang, Sung‐Lin Hsueh
The study of consumer behavior in the refurbishment industry is crucial to the
business operation of firms, but there is a lack of research in this regard.
With reference to the EKB model specific to consumer behavior, this paper
discusses the relationship among consumption characteristics, firm selection
behavior and satisfaction degree of refurbishment customers. 242 valid

VERTICAL CAPACITY OF BUCKET FOUNDATIONS IN UNDRAINED SOILJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 360-371 - 2014
Amin Barari, Lars Bo Ibsen
Offshore wind turbine structures are traditionally founded on gravity concrete
foundations or mono-piles. Bucket foundations were developed for the offshore
oil and gas industry and are now being used in wind turbine construction. The
loading in this application is characterized by a vertical load due to the
slender construction combined with horizontal forces inducing a large
overturning moment. ... hiện toàn bộ
DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS IN BEAM-LIKE STRUCTURES BY ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKSJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 21 Số 5 - Trang 591-604
Kamil Aydin, Özgür Kişi
Applicability of artificial neural networks is examined in determining the
natural frequencies of intact beams and crack parameters of damaged beams.
Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis neural networks (RBNN) are
utilized for training and validation of input data. In the first part of the
study, the first four frequencies of free vibration are predicted based on beam
properties by the ne... hiện toàn bộ
EVALUATING FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF ASPHALT BINDERS AND MIXES CONTAINING DATE SEED ASHJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 23 Số 8 - Trang 1164-1175
Ali Foroutan Mirhosseini, Amir Kavussi, Mohammad Hossain Jalal Kamali, Mohammad Mehdi Khabiri, Abolfazl Hassani
Fatigue is one of the most occurring distresses in asphalt pavements. Asphalt
binder plays a critical role in fatigue behavior of asphalt mixes. Modelling
and predicting fatigue behavior of binders will result in more fatigue resistant
mixes. In this research, possibility of using Date Seed Ash alongside two
commonly used additives (namely, a siliceous and a limestone) as bitumen
modifier were in... hiện toàn bộ
ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC PROCESS TO MODEL SAFETY RISK IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRYJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 87-99 - 2021
Zhenhao Zhang, Wenbiao Li, Jianyu Yang
There are many factors leading to construction safety accident. The rule
presented under the influence of these factors should be a statistical random
rule. To reveal those random rules and study the probability prediction method
of construction safety accident, according to stochastic process theory, general
stochastic process, Markov process and normal process are respectively used to
simulate t... hiện toàn bộ
MULTI-PERSON SELECTION OF THE BEST WIND TURBINE BASED ON THE MULTI-CRITERIA INTEGRATED ADDITIVE-MULTIPLICATIVE UTILITY FUNCTIONJournal of Civil Engineering and Management - Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 590-599 - 2014

Energy generation and savings is a vital problem for the social and economic
development of a modern world. The construction of wind farms is a challenge of
crucial importance to Lithuania. Offshore wind farms are one of the
possibilities of the multiple use of marine space. Wind energy industry has
become the fastest growing renewable energy in the world. An offshore wind farm
