REVIEW OF THE PERFORMANCE OF CLT WALL-TO-FLOOR CONNECTIONS FOR A MULTI-STOREY MODULAR BUILDING USING IRISH TIMBER
(2023)In recent years, the focus has shifted toward more sustainable construction methods. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an excellent material in terms of structural properties and environmental impact. Across ... -
Bayesian Optimization for Intrinsically Noisy Response Surfaces
(2023)While Bayesian optimization (BO) is a well-established method for efficient optimization of deterministic response surfaces that are time intensive to evaluate, its application for the optimization of stochastic response ... -
Stress testing the transportation system subject to climate-induced hazards: A simulation approach
(2023)This paper proposes a simulation-based approach to conduct stress tests on transportation systems subject to extreme scenarios of rainfall leading to flooding. Stress tests represent situations where at least one part of ... -
A novel design equation for reinforced concrete columns confined by FRP and steel based on advanced finite element analysis
(2023)Strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally-bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is a widely accepted and used retrofit technique. The FRP encasing increases the vertical load capacity and ductility ... -
Extension of the Performance-Based Hurricane Engineering (PBHE) framework to account for climate change and structural aging effects
(2023)The US Gulf and Atlantic coasts are frequently affected by severe tropical storms, locally known as hurricanes, which produce significant economic and life losses every year. The effects of climate change and structural ... -
Method for estimating corrosion of underground pipes based on inspection data of telecommunication facilities
(2023)An extended period has passed since many infrastructures have been constructed, and it is crucial issue for infrastructure to be aged. Corrosion of steel materials has a significant impact on infrastructure, so accurate ... -
A parallel Bayesian interval optimization approach for static analysis of structures with interval uncertainties
(2023)This paper aims at approximating the bounds of the static response of structures with interval uncertainties. Such task is often challenging due to the large number of computationally intensive response evaluations required. ... -
Identification of cost-effective multihazard capacity of nuclear power plant using multi-objective genetic algorithm
(2023)After the Tohoku earthquake-tsunami (Japan, 2011), the regulatory efforts to mitigate the external hazards increase both safety requirements and the total capital cost of nuclear power plant (NPP). In these circumstances, ... -
Identifying dominant failure sequences and key elements in progressive collapse analysis
(2023)Progressive or disproportionate collapse is characterized by collapse of a structure triggered by failure of a relatively small part of it. Identification and strengthening of weak elements, and mitigation of element failure ... -
Effect of varying component reliabilities on system reliability in flange-angle partially restrained steel moment connections
(2023)Load paths of lateral moment-resisting frames involve steel moment connections comprising several components such as angles, plates, bolts and welds. As per codal provisions, each component is designed on the basis of its ... -
Volume effects in glued laminated timber beams
(2023)This paper discusses several aspects related to volume effects on glued laminated timber (GLT) beams, with focus on the combined effects of height and length on the bending strength. Challenges related to the prediction ... -
Selection of Near-Fault Physics-Based Simulated Earthquake Ground Motions for Seismic Performance Assessment of Structures
(2023)Selection of earthquake records for seismic performance assessment of near-fault structures is challenging because (1) earthquake-induced ground shaking in the near-fault region is highly sensitive to the fault rupture ... -
Probabilistic Modeling of North Atlantic Ocean Hurricane Spawn Considering Climate Change
(2023)Hurricanes are a significant natural hazard, which causes significant damage and financial losses in the coastal areas of the United States almost every year. For example, the 2005 Hurricane Katrina was the most damaging ... -
Effect of temperature variation on Bayesian anomaly detection in model bridge experiments
(2023)Vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) focusing on changes in vibration characteristics has been studied to improve the efficiency of bridge maintenance and management. Particularly in long-term SHM, which ... -
Estimating evolutionary power spectral density using transforms
(2023)One of the tasks of modeling a physical process by using the evolutionary process is to estimate the evolutionary power spectral density (EPSD) function. A popular method to estimate EPSD is based on the short-time Fourier ... -
Four-Dimension (STEP) Seismic Resilience Assessment Framework and Improvement of Urban Power System
(2023)Power systems, the core of urban critical infrastructures, suffered heavy losses due to earthquakes. With the development of seismic resilience, seismic research of power systems have been extended to the overall concern ... -
Determination of load combination factors for the assessment of existing bridges
(2023)There is a difference between the calibration of partial factors of safety for a new code of practice intended for design, and the development of factors for assessment. In particular, the treatment of load combination ... -
Probabilistic failure path approach on structural system-reliability-based design optimization of fatigue-induced failure
(2023)Reliability analysis with unknown system event definition such as sequence of member failures requires a failure-path approach to determine the component events that will induce overall system failure. In particular, ... -
Crack resistance reliability study of CRTS III rail slab on bridge
(2023)Reliability of CRTS III track slab on bridge corresponding to cracking failure mode is analyzed, under multiple loads. A finite element model of CRTS III slab-type ballastless track on bridge is established; considering ... -
Structural Reliability of Buildings Subjected to Simulated Ground Motions using a Novel Probabilistic Approach
(2023)The catastrophic power of earthquakes has been reported in numerous documents. For example, the occurrence of certain ground motions as the 1985 Mexico City, 1989 Loma Prieta, 1994 Northridge, and 1995 Kobe, represented ...
