A machine learning-based approach to evaluate the fire resistance of timber columns
(2023)Timber construction offers substantial advantages in terms of sustainability, ease of modular construction, and aesthetics. In recent years, structural members made from timber have been increasingly used in residential ... -
New opportunities for bridge management using independent datasets
(2023)Bridge managers have increasingly utilised databases to aid in the efficient allocation of resources. For the most part, these databases have been compiled from existing bridge management tools such as bridge inspection ... -
Empirical analysis of the forecasting accuracy of ST-ED-RMGC with bike-sharing data under atypical weather-related scenarios
(2023)The transport sector is one of the most greenhouse gas emitting sectors, and users waste a lot of time in transport due to congestion, with relevant socio-economic consequences. Understanding the spatio-temporal traffic ... -
Development of a multi-risk index for Italy: a tool for supporting informed decision making on disaster risk reduction
(2023)Effective disaster-risk management decision making relies on holistic multi-risk quantification approaches. Such approaches capture the effects of multiple hazards, facilitating the development and implementation of ... -
Comparison of Cascading Effects in Critical Infrastructure Networks based on Simulation
(2023)Natural hazards such as floodings affect critical infrastructures (CIs) with increasing frequency and intensity. The effects are hard to predict due to the change of the hazards over time (e.g., due to climate change), but ... -
Reliability level of the second generation of the Eurocodes -- status and potential
(2023)The EN Eurocodes are a collection of 10 European Standards, EN 1990 - EN 1999 , providing a common basis for the design of load bearing structures. The next generation of the Eurocodes, the second generation, will be ... -
Damage Detection Based on Wavelet Transform and Convolution Neural Networks
(2023)The performance of conventional damage detection systems depends mainly on the physical and geometrical damage characteristics and the choice of damage classifier. Some works directly use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) ... -
Recent developments and ongoing challenges in the implementation of UAS assisted bridge inspections
(2023)In the past decade, the use of drones, or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), to supplement engineering activities such as structural inspections has increased considerably due to the advances in the associated technology in ... -
Reliability of complex timber structures: impact of connection non-linearity and overstrength
(2023)In statically indeterminate timber structures, the stiffness of the members and the semi-rigid behavior of the joints influence the force distribution in the structure, affecting its performance and reliability. In this ... -
Basis of serviceability limit state target reliability: Fact or fiction?
(2023)Target reliability forms the basis of modern structural design and finds its root in cost optimisation. Ultimate limit state (ULS) target reliability is well-founded and has been extensively researched. Serviceability limit ... -
Surrogate-based reliability analysis for noisy models
(2023)Reliability analysis ultimately aims at estimating the probability of failure of a system. In this context, limit-state functions represent the system performance, i.e., whether it fails or not, and consist of potentially ... -
Probabilistic models for Italian road traffic with gross vehicle weight limitations based on weigh-in-motion data
(2023)Traffic load models provided by standard regulations play a major role in both design and management of road infrastructure. Considering the persistent change in the traffic load characteristics, a proper validation of ... -
Workflow-induced uncertainty in probabilistic landslide hazard maps
(2023)Increasing complexity and capacity of computational physics-based landslide run-out modelling over the last few years yielded highly efficient model-based decision support tools, e.g. landslide susceptibility or run-out ... -
Reduced order surrogate modeling of opening along the interface due to debonding in non-metallic reinforced cementitious composites
(2023)The key model component required for a realistic characterization of cementitious composites with non-metallic reinforcement is the crack bridge model, which can capture the triggering mechanism of splitting cracks in ... -
Review of innovation theories in the perspective of Bayesian decision analysis
(2023)Innovation requires novel technologies or its novel application and will only impact if it creates industrial and societal benefits on large scale. Thus, the industrial and societal benefits should be quantified prior and ... -
Probability Distribution of Torsional Response by Qﾖ? Resonance of Multi-Story Building under Long-Period Seismic Motion
(2023)When the sum or difference of the natural frequencies in the two horizontal translational modes coincides with the natural frequency in the torsional mode, an internal resonance phenomenon occurs because the torsional ... -
Diffusion term of the Fokker Planck equation for fractional differential equations enforced by white noise
(2023)In many applications of engineering interest, like in the viscoelastic modelling of solids, the equation of motion can have one or more terms containing derivatives of non-integer order. It follows that finding the probability ... -
Life Quality Index for Optimizing a Safety Improvement Program
(2023)The Life Quality Index (LQI), a composite social indicator, was proposed as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in safety measures to enhance life quality. In the structural reliability field, the life ... -
Mechanics-based fragility assessment of existing prestressed concrete bridges under traffic loads
(2023)After catastrophic collapse of several major bridges in Italy, the safety evaluation and retrofit interventions on existing bridges became a top priority for the engineering community, road management companies and government. ... -
Structural performance validation of a glass fibre-reinforced composite demonstrator for wind turbine blades
(2023)As the world moves towards a more sustainable way of life, Ireland must invest significantly in creating a carbon-free energy system. Currently, in Ireland, the largest source of renewable energy is wind. According to the ...
