The application of neural networks to non-destructive testing techniques (2001)
Thesis
Watson, J. N. The application of neural networks to non-destructive testing techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9470

The low strain test method has become the prevalent method for integrity testing of cast in situ foundation piles. The automated interpretation of the sonic echo traces resulting from this test would prove beneficial to industry through the standardi...

Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete. (2001)
Thesis
Heritage, I. Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6571

Direct electric curing is the method by which the hydration reactions within concrete are thermally accelerated by passing an alternating electric current through the sample. This use of electricity as a means of supplying heat to young concrete an... Read More about Direct electric curing of mortar and concrete..

Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (2001)
Thesis
Guo, Q. L. Development of risk analysis models for decision-making in project management. (Thesis). Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2745

Risks and uncertainties are inherent in construction projects and if neglected these risks often lead to project cost and time overruns. Traditional methods of forecasting risks rely upon intuition and 'feel' which has proved inadequate for the need...
