Assessment of existing civil engineering structures

Experimental Modal Analysis of Civil Engineering Structures

Decades ago, a major concern of structural engineers was the development and application of new and powerful numerical methods for the static and dynamic analysis of large civil engineering structures. The rapid development of finite-element techniques accompanied by tremendous technological progress in the field of personal computers allowed structural designers to use software packages for ac...

Study on Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering Structures

The innovation of relevant nanotechnology and its significance in civil engineering practice is illustrated in this paper for broadening vision. Nanotechnology deals with understanding, controlling and manipulating matter at the level of individual atoms and molecules in the range of 0.1–100 nm (10-9 m). It creates materials, devices, and systems with new properties and functions. The role of n...

Quality assessment of coupled civil engineering applications

The software scenery in civil engineering is characterized by a large number of more or less specialized software applications for different tasks. To solve the tasks efficiently, each software application has its own appropriate and optimized data structure. The variety of software tools used to support the design process leads to an exchange of data and information between the involved engine...

Syntactic Structures in Research Article Titles from Three Different Disciplines: Applied Linguistics, Civil Engineering, and Dentistry

Deducing what a paper is about, titles are considered as the most important determinant of how many people will read the article. Therefore, studying the use of different syntactic structures and their rhetorical functions in titles is of great significance. The current study was set to investigate these structures used in research article titles in three disciplines of Applied Linguistics, Den...
