This thesis introduces a novel approach combining Particle Filters and the L-BFGS-B optimization method for solving single-objective numerical optimization problems. The proposed method intricately marries the stochastic ...

When an earthquake phenomenon occurs, it destroys the weak members of the RC buildings, therefore, the damages during severe earthquakes stimulate nonlinear behavior of the structure. The structural and nonstructural ...

Pervious concrete (also known as porous concrete, permeable concrete, no fines concrete, and porous pavement) is a high-porosity concrete used in concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and ...
