The widespread deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs) makes energy demand and generation more dynamic than before. The most prominent existing tariffs systems, flat-rate and time-of-use (TOU), are not designed to let retail prices reflect
Climate change can accelerate infrastructure deterioration in coastal areas because increased temperature and humidity can promote steel corrosion. This study (1) projects corrosion rate changes for reinforced concrete and steel structures in 223 coastal
A high-level review was conducted of design criteria in the United States for major components of the built environment for selected design and construction codes, reference standards, and best practices. The intent of the review is to gauge the expected

FR composites have become popular for use as retrofit solutions for buildings and infrastructure due to their ease of application, lightweight properties, and corrosion resistance. However, there are still many research needs in this area that hinder wider
Cybersecurity has been a topic of increasing importance for several years. While fully securing a large and complex system can be very complicated, there are some basic precautions that can easily be applied to any system, and some basic precautions that

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the application of instrumentation and connected sensors and other devices to machinery and vehicles in the transport, energy, and other critical infrastructure sectors. In the energy sector, distributed
Strap-braced, cold-formed steel framed walls are frequently used as the lateral force resisting system in cold-formed steel construction. While the behavior of these walls has been studied under lateral loading and (to a lesser extent) under fire
