Abstract Civil infrastructure is continuously subject to aging and deterioration due to multiple factors, which lead to a decline in performance and impact structural health. Accumulated damage on structures increases operational costs and poses significant risks to public safety. Effective maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation strategies are needed to ensure civil infrastructure’s overall safety and reliability. Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) methods are utilized to assess latent damage and provide decision-makers with real-time information for mitigating hazards. Within the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the research and development of innovative NDE techniques to improve data… More >

Abstract Infrastructure system analysis is a computation-intensive task. Equipped with the software tools, engineers are able to analyze a handful of alternative solutions, but often end up with a workable alternative far from the optimized solution. Effectively optimizing an infrastructure system is a challenging task. Undertaking such a task requires not only well-developed optimization software tools, but also powerful computing facilities. Therefore, infrastructure system optimization is highly desirable to be conducted on cloud.
Infrastructure system optimization is usually an implicit and nonlinear programming problem. The problem has to be carefully formulated in the way that classic mathematic… More >
