Technical and organizational challenges in the risk management of road infrastructures

Roberta Troisi et al.

Summary: This paper presents a theoretical framework for the risk management of road infrastructures, taking into account the interrelation between infrastructures and considering actors as well. It emphasizes the importance of coordination and fragmentation in the governance of road infrastructures, depending on the span of safety and level of risk. The study also uses satellite data to assess the risk levels for specific infrastructures and suggests appropriate organizational modes based on the results.

Carbonation model for fly ash concrete based on artificial neural network: Development and parametric analysis

Emerson F. Felix et al.

Summary: The control and prediction of carbonation depth in reinforced concrete structures is crucial for the construction industry, as it directly affects the service life and durability of the structures. An Artificial Neural Network with backpropagation algorithm was used to predict carbonation depth in concretes containing fly ash addition, with 90 different network topologies implemented. The parametric study revealed that cement consumption, fly ash content, CO2 rate, and relative humidity were the parameters most influencing carbonation depth in fly ash-concretes. The optimized model can estimate the lifespan of concrete structures and serve as a simulation tool for engineering projects focusing on durability.

Predicting carbonation coefficient using Artificial neural networks and genetic programming

S. N. Londhe et al.

Summary: Concrete carbonation is an important issue in Civil Engineering and Material Science fields. This study used statistical modeling and Soft Computing techniques like Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Programming to predict the carbonation coefficient in concrete, showing that these models perform better than Multiple Linear Regression in handling the nonlinear influence of relative humidity on concrete carbonation.
