To evaluate seismic capacity, a preliminary seismic evaluation (PSE) system that involves site investigation and shop drawing review (if available) by professional engineers is typically used. However, given the significant financial and manpower resources required, performing PSE on all buildings in Taiwan is not practical. In order to overcome the challenge of evaluating the seismic capacity of buildings in a cost-effective and efficient manner, this study developed an enhanced PSE system called QSEBS, based on deep learning technology. By leveraging government property tax databases, QSEBS can rapidly estimate the seismic capacity of buildings, with results consistent with those of the PSERCB system. The key advantage of QSEBS is its ability to eliminate the need for human labors in PSE, saving significant amounts of money and manpower, particularly for a large number of buildings. Thus, QSEBS can serve as a valuable tool to support the government’s urban disaster-prevention strategy and can be widely implemented.CO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Ou, Yu-ChenASSOCIATE EDITOR: Ou, Yu-ChenKEYWORDS: Back-propagation neural network (BPNN)preliminary seismic evaluation of reinforced concrete building (PSERCB)quick seismic estimation of building structures (QSEBS)Kruskal-Wallis H testdata cleaning Nomenclature Ac2=seismic-capacity indexA2500=seismic demand for a 2500-year return period earthquakeAc2/IA2500=seismic capacity-demand ratio for seismic vulnerability assessmentC=ratio of spectral acceleration divided by ground acceleration for a specific structural period in elastic normalized response spectrum of accelerationD=diameter of the rebars and stirrupsE=convenient representation of 2μ−1E_TACW=equivalent total area of column-wallE_W/CW=equivalent width per column-wallE_D/CW=equivalent depth per column-wallH=value of Kruskal-Wallis H testH0=null hypotheses for correlation evaluationI=importance factorR=response reduction factorSa=parameter of elastic design spectral acceleration responseTn=structural periodVu, e=ultimate elastic base shear demandVy=yield base shear demandVS30=average shear wave velocity for a soil depth of 30 mW=sum of weight lumped at the ground floor’s ceiling levelμ=ductility level△u=ultimate or code-specified displacement△y=yield displacementχ2=Chi-square valueDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis study was supported by the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, Taiwan [Grant No. NCDR-S-111012].","PeriodicalId":17313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They tend to absorb moisture, weaken and accordingly lose their free-flowing property depending on the ambient conditions. In this study, the influence of storage conditions on a commercial grade calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN/26) fertilizer was investigated using methods that included simulation of storage and handling. The mechanical properties of CAN/26 fertilizer were observed by friability and crushing strength tests. Granule structure begins to weaken especially above a temperature of 40°C and a pressure of 0.33 kg/cm2. Sudden changes in ambient temperature enhance the caking propensity by 4.8%. Fertilizers above 65% relative humidity start to absorb moisture and degrade at very high temperatures. The phase transition of ammonium nitrate between crystalline forms plays an important role in the caking of CAN/26, as its tendency to agglomerate at about 32°C is greatly reduced. The results show that the granule degradation in CAN/26 fertilizer increases almost linearly with increasing temperature, humidity, and pressure but there is a sharp limit for each parameter for degradation to start. With these limits, it may be possible to carry out the protection and control of the good quality of fertilizers in the sector.","PeriodicalId":17313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers","volume":"24 1","pages":"795 - 804"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83836724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trajectories of instantaneous rotation center and the corresponding radius of curvature are given. We prove that the trajectory of the instantaneous center of rotation is also a cycloid. For a 3D spiral curve, the two radii and the two instantaneous centers of rotation for the spiral curve are also given. It is interesting to find that the two parameters in the Frenet equation have the same meaning of radius of curvature but in different planes. In a similar way of the 2D experience, we also confirm that the trajectory of the instantaneous center of rotation for a spiral curve is also a spiral curve. An example is also given to discuss the Puyuma express incident, a major accident in 2018. The curve of rail is interpolated and the radius of curvature is determined. Discussions on the radius of rail curve and the speed of train for the failure are done. Finally, the animation is implemented by using the MATLAB and the Mathematica software. Not only theoretical derivation for the curvature of a curve but also its real application to rail engineering is proposed.","PeriodicalId":17313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers","volume":"104 1","pages":"693 - 702"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86199849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real-time control of SPV performance is vital for accurate solar power (SP) prediction. The article proposes an ensemble Machine Learning Approach (MLA) called Random Forest Algorithm-Based Regression Model (RFARM) for hourly forecasting of SP. The approach selectively analyzes meteorological and solar irradiance data (SI) to enhance short-term solar panel prediction. It focuses on employing a correlation-based approach using an RFA with regression to achieve improved SP prediction accuracy. The study compares the PV power generated at Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE), Madurai, using four prediction techniques: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) along with a proposed RFARM for different meteorological weather conditions over a 24-hour time horizon. The proposed RFARM method achieves high prediction accuracy by selecting significant parameters, avoiding artificial filtering, and minimizing errors, particularly in predicting solar output during cloud shading. The RFARM model outperforms conventional methods in predicting the daily curve of solar power performance. It achieves an RMSE of 1.52, MAE of 14, and R-squared of 98%. Feature selection further improves accuracy, reducing RMSE by 12.5% and MAE by 17.2% respectively.","PeriodicalId":17313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers","volume":"5 1","pages":"737 - 753"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75628757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
