The inherent nonlinear features of bluff body aerodynamics and the high cost of wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations make their emulation as a function of deck shape and reduced velocity challenging. State‐of‐the‐art methods address deck shape tailoring by interpolating discrete values of integrated flutter derivatives (FDs) in the frequency domain. Nevertheless, more sophisticated strategies can improve surrogate accuracy and potentially reduce the required number of samples. We propose a time domain emulation strategy harnessing temporal fusion transformers (TFTs) to predict the self‐excited forces time series before their integration into FDs. Emulating aeroelastic forces in the time domain permits the inclusion of time‐series amplitudes, frequencies, phases, and other properties in the training process, enabling a more solid learning strategy that is independent of the self‐excited forces modeling order and the inherent loss of information during the identification of FDs. TFTs' long‐ and short‐term context awareness, combined with their interpretability and enhanced ability to deal with static and time‐dependent covariates, make them an ideal choice for predicting unseen aeroelastic forces time series. The proposed TFT‐based metamodel offers a powerful technique for drastically improving the accuracy and versatility of wind‐resistant design optimization frameworks.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142753007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a universal multi-type bridge point cloud databank, named BrPCD, consisting of a total of 98 point cloud data (PCD; 10 of them are obtained from scanning, and the rest is obtained by data augmentation) from small to long-span bridges, is established. Additionally, a method for augmenting bridge PCD is proposed, significantly enriching the spatial feature information of bridges within the dataset. Furthermore, based on the introduced data annotation rules, a uniform categorization of semantic labels for bridge components is implemented, enhancing the applicability of our dataset across various semantic segmentation tasks for different types of bridges. A benchmark testing was conducted on the BrPCD using the PointNet model. The segmentation results indicate that the parameters learned through the BrPCD enable accurate segmentation at the level of various types of bridge components.

Automated detection of in situ events of interest, such as earthquakes, from extensive continuous monitoring data, is important to ensure the timeliness of subsequent data analysis. To overcome the poor timeliness of manual identification and the inconsistency of sensors, this paper proposes an automated seismic event detection procedure with interpretability and robustness. The sensor-wise raw time series is transformed into image data, enhancing the separability of classification while endowing with visual understandability. Vision Transformers (ViTs) and Residual Networks (ResNets) aided by a heat map–based visual interpretation technique are used for image classification. Multitype faulty data that could disturb the seismic event detection are considered in the classification. Then, divergent results from multiple sensors are fused by Bayesian fusion, outputting a consistent seismic detection result. A real-world monitoring data set of four seismic responses of a pair of long-span bridges is used for method validation. At the classification stage, ResNet 34 achieved the best accuracy of over 90% with minimal training cost. After Bayesian fusion, globally consistent and accurate seismic detection results can be obtained using a ResNet or ViT. The proposed approach effectively localizes seismic events within multisource, multifault monitoring data, achieving automated and consistent seismic event detection.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, these projects also cause travel delays, emissions, driver frustration, and other road user adversities. To alleviate these ills, road agencies often face two work zone design choices: close the road fully and re-reroute traffic or implement partial closure. Both options have significant implications for peri-construction road capacity, traveler costs, and the project duration and cost. This study presents a decision-making methodology to facilitate the choice between full road closure and partial closure. The presented decision-making methodology is a bi-level optimization problem: at the upper level, the road agency seeks to optimally schedule road construction work to minimize net vehicle emissions and road construction costs. The lower-level of the problem captures two types of travelers’ route choice behaviors: rational travelers who minimize their travel time and path-loyal travelers who do not change their routes from their pre-construction routes. The bi-level mixed integer nonlinear model is solved using a reinforcement learning-based algorithm (the multi-armed bandit-guided particle swarm optimization [PSO] technique). The computational experiments suggest the superiority of the proposed algorithm, compared to the classic PSO algorithm in terms of solution quality. The numerical results suggest that if the percentage of path-loyal travelers increases, the agency needs to invest more in road project construction to implement under partial closure to avoid a significant increase in vehicle emissions.</p>","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"40 6","pages":"721-740"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/mice.13365","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142673123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
