Animation can add significant value to Discrete-Event Simulation by helping verify, validate, and accredit simulation analyses. This is particularly true in construction where typical decision makers are experts in their domain but are not generally proficient in simulation itself. Existing methods of animating simulated construction processes in 3D have a significant limitation. They require t...

In this article, an Advanced Charged System Search (ACSS) algorithm is applied for the optimum design of steel structures. ACSS uses the idea of Opposition-based Learning and Levy flight to enhance the optimization abilities of the standard CSS. It also utilizes the information of the position of each charged particle in the subsequent search process to increase the convergence speed. The objec...

This paper investigates the effect of moisture content on interface shear strength between offshore clay and steel plate. Although, sensitive and high plasticity offshore clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and many other countries in the world, and steel is a vital construction material for many structures, research works on interaction between offshore clay and steel surface are ...
