Incremental transformation of spatial intelligence from smart systems to sensorial infrastructures

Erişen, Serdar
In addition to the scalability of new computation technologies considering their potentials and limitations, recent applications of embedded computation ensure its possible uses in the scope of urban computing and policymaking strategies. This study examines methods of crowdsourcing with the aim of incremental transformation of the built environment through the experimental exploration of the traditional infrastructure of the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul using a bottom-up research approach. Thus, this study can be an overarching source of specifications and policymaking for the incremental transformation of the built environment. Accordingly, the agencies of participation and policymaking, the concern of usage and economics as well as technological potentials and limitations are considered as generative parameters. Smart grids and embedded computation in built environments are examined in addition to the utilization of traditional infrastructures for data acquisition and assessment. Under the scope of urban computing, this study evaluates associative learning and prediction models, as well as other sensorial technologies, connected devices, and new methods of computation.

Approximate analysis and condition assesment of reinforced concrete t-beam bridges using artificial neural networks
Dumlupınar, Taha; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been employed for estimation and prediction purposes in many areas of civil/structural engineering. In this thesis, multilayered feedforward backpropagation algorithm is used for the approximate analysis and calibration of RC T-beam bridges and modeling of bridge ratings of these bridges. Currently bridges are analyzed using a standard FEM program. However, when a large population of bridges is concerned, such as the one considered in this project (Pen...
Productivity improvement in concreting operations through simulation models
Alkoc, E; Erbatur, F (Informa UK Limited, 1997-03-01)
MicroCYCLONE simulation software, while not yet adopted extensively in the construction industry, has gained general acceptance in academic research and, compared with other software, the program presents a simple graphic system Chat can be readily understood, by engineering and field personnel. The general rules of thumb derived from these models are used in a prototype advisory expert system which is designed to present the results in a user-friendly manner to construction practitioners.
Optimal load and resistance factor design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames via tabu search and genetic algorithm
DEĞERTEKİN, SADIK ÖZGÜR; Saka, M. P.; HAYALİOĞLU, MEHMET SEDAT (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01)
In this paper, algorithms are presented for the optimum design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames using tabu search and genetic algorithm. Tabu search utilizes the features of short-term memory facility (tabu list) and aspiration criteria. Genetic algorithm employs reproduction, crossover and mutation operators. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange...
Quantification and localisation of damage in beam-like structures by using artificial neural networks with experimental validation
Şahin, Melin (Elsevier BV, 2003-12-01)
This paper presents a damage detection algorithm using a combination of global (changes in natural frequencies) and local (curvature mode shapes) vibration-based analysis data as input in artificial neural networks (ANNs) for location and severity prediction of damage in beam-like structures. A finite element analysis tool has been used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of intact and damaged cantilever steel beams for the first three natural modes. Different damage scenarios have been introduced by redu...
Collaborative building control: a conceptual mixed-initiative framework
Topak, Fatih; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Taylor & Francis, 2021-6-22)
In the last two decades, automation systems have shown advanced developments and are widely adopted for various purposes in many fields. However, automation in buildings has not gained popularity and has a low acceptance level amongst the occupants. Decreased perceived control, ever-changing dynamic human needs, and standardized, one-size-fits-all approach in current automation systems lead to disharmony in human-machine coexistence. Although well-established continuous interaction between building control ...
