Influence of Concrete Creep on the Bending of a Prestressed Bridge Beam by Petr P. Gaidzhurov, Elvira R. Iskhakova, Nina A. Saveleva

“…At the same time, the known approaches to calculation of concrete and reinforced concrete structures with regard to creep are oriented mainly to solving problems with relatively simple geometry of the product. Moreover, there are no mechanic-mathematical models of hereditary type oriented to the finite-element method.The concept of modelling of long-term deformation of reinforced concrete structures in a three-dimensional statement, based on the use of the integral deformation modulus of concrete, does not allow one to carry out designing considering the technological prehistory. …”

Modeling Injury Severity for Nighttime and Daytime Crashes by Using Random Parameter Logit Models Accounting for Heterogeneity in Means and Variances by Chenzhu Wang, Ping Zhang, Fei Chen, Jianchuan Cheng

“…By using a random parameter approach to account for unobserved heterogeneity, multivariate logit (RPML) models are proposed to analyze the crash severity based on the explanatory factors in terms of the crash, traffic, speed, road geometry, and sight characteristics. The goodness-of-fit and predictive measures highlight the better performance of the proposed models relative to standard models, as the proposed models reduce the unobserved heterogeneity and yield higher precision. …”
