The 2015 Gorkha Nepal Earthquake: Insights from Earthquake Damage Survey

Katsuichiro Goda, Takashi Kiyota, Rama Mohan Pokhrel et al. · 22 Jun 2015

The 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake caused tremendous damage and loss. To gain valuable lessons from this tragic event, an earthquake damage investigation team was dispatched to Nepal from 1 May 2015 to 7 May 2015. A unique aspect of the earthquake damage investigation is that first-hand earthquake damage data were obtained 6 to 11 days…

Walkability and Its Relationships With Health, Sustainability, and Livability: Elements of Physical Environment and Evaluation Frameworks

Abdulla Baobeid, Muammer Koç‬, Sami G. Al‐Ghamdi · 30 Sep 2021

Urban sprawl and increasing population density in urban centers create the challenge to finding ways of sustainable transportation solutions that preserve the convenience of residents while reducing emissions. Therefore, walkability is a core urban design element because of being advantageous onto three fronts: health, livability, and sustainability. Adopting walkability as urban solution relieves conceptual and…

Grand Challenges in Transportation and Transit Systems

Sakdirat Kaewunruen, Joseph M. Sussman, Akira MATSUMOTO · 24 Feb 2016

Transportation and transit systems draw upon broad spectra of research fields due to the diversity and interconnectivity of transport modes, including road, rail, aviation, pipeline, maritime, or even aerospace. These systems have evolved over centuries to be considerably more efficient and environment-friendly for a wide range of customers. The fundamental principle "safety first" is still…

A Comparative Study of Differential Evolution Variants in Constrained Structural Optimization

Manolis Georgioudakis, Vagelis Plevris · 9 Jul 2020

Differential evolution (DE) is a population-based metaheuristic algorithm that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with regard to a given measure of quality. Such algorithms make few or no assumptions about the problem being optimized and can search very large spaces of candidate solutions. DE is arguably one of the…

Digital Twin for Sustainability Evaluation of Railway Station Buildings

Sakdirat Kaewunruen, Ningfang Xu · 10 Dec 2018

The railway station is a primary asset of public transport systems and plays a crucial role in urban modernization. Most existing railway stations in the UK is historic and have been operated for many years. Maintenance and reconstruction are common concerns in the public railway industry, and clusters of information pertaining to this maintenance must…
