Guideline for Reliability-Based Classification of Existing Bridges
(2023)This paper presents the newly updated Danish guideline for reliability-based classification of existing bridges published by the Danish Road Directorate in 2023. The update of the guideline reflects the commitment to ... -
Life-Cycle Residual Performance Assessment of Concrete Bridges Considering Spatial Variability of Corrosion
(2023)A recent SEI/ASCE survey highlights that advanced life-cycle models for deteriorating structures are well established for some of the most detrimental damage processes (e.g. corrosion). However, reliability assessment ... -
A Bayesian Approach for Inferring the Topology of a System of Interdependent Infrastructure Networks: A Case Study of the U.K. Interdependent Power-Gas System
(2023)Understanding the behavior of complex systems is essential to plan for future disasters that impact complex systems including infrastructure, social, and environmental systems. The complexity of the behavior of these systems ... -
Improving safety through statistical analysis of construction fatalities
(2023)The construction industry has the highest rates of fatalities, disabilities, and injuries & illnesses among all industries. While this situation has improved in some countries, for example the UK, to achieve sustained ... -
Corrosion rate values in real structures and their statistical distribution
(2023)For the assessment of the condition of a large structure as a football stadium suffering reinforcement corrosion, the first step is the identification of the corroding zones and their level of damage. In present communication ... -
Improving seismic resilience of schools and educational communities
(2023)The sustainability of school infrastructure and the resilience of the educational communities to natural hazards is of paramount importance to provide the safety and protection from the various natural and man-made threats ... -
Exposure Modelling through Machine Learning for Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment
(2023)In the last decades, most efforts to catalogue and characterise the built environment for multi-hazard risk assessment have focused on the exploration of housing census data, cadastral datasets, and local surveys. The first ... -
Multi-Path Progression Optimization at an Urban Interchange: A Case Study
(2023)Progression optimization is a common approach for coordinating traffic signals along arterial streets as well as arterial networks. A number of techniques with varying degrees of refinement have been developed for this ... -
Design of Bamboo Reinforced Concrete Beams Considering Variability in Tensile Strength of Bamboo
(2023)In recent years, the price of steel has soared, making steel reinforcement in concrete structures unaffordable for households in low-income countries. Seismic activities in low-income households, particularly those in ... -
Designing Equitable and Dynamic Rapid Earthquake Loss Assessment Systems
(2023)After the occurrence of destructive seismic events, there is an urgent need for reliable and rapid information regarding the expected impact in terms of damage, economic losses, fatalities, and injuries. Systems for the ... -
A Proposed Fuzzy-based Optimisation Model for Evaluating Construction Projects' Risk Response Strategies
(2023)The aim of this paper is to develop a fuzzy-based optimisation model for selecting the most appropriate construction risk response strategies by surveying construction experts in Iraq. A two-step research methodology was ... -
Probability Based Pavement Asset Management
(2023)Deterministic Pavement Deterioration models are commonly used due to their relative simplicity, ease of use, and familiarity. The modelling techniques include straight-line extrapolation, S-shaped curves, polynomial ... -
Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood Estimation for fitting Distribution Functions of Road Traffic Load Effects
(2023)More and more bridges reach the end of their design life. Traffic loads have changed substantially over the last few decades since the design of these bridges. To prevent unnecessary costs and material use in redesign or ... -
Lifetime seismic risk assessment of coastal highway bridges under corrosion, scour and liquefaction effects
(2023)Coastal highway bridges, particularly those with reinforced concrete members, are susceptible to chloride-induced corrosion in their lifetime due to the aggressive coastal environment. Such an adverse environment has also ... -
A Bayesian Estimation Approach to the Post-Earthquake Recovery Trajectories of Electric Power Systems in Japan
(2023)Post-disaster recovery modelling of engineering systems has become an important facet of disaster risk management. The post-disaster recovery trajectory of a civil infrastructure system can be quantified using (a) their ... -
A simplified framework for reliability assessment of prestressed concrete bridge girders under travelling loads in dynamic regime
(2023)Assessing the reliability of prestressed bridge girders is paramount to keeping transportation infrastructure functional. Classical structural reliability assessment requires computing the demand and capacity of the ... -
A geo-statistical framework to reduce uncertainty in predictions of VS30 and other geotechnical variables
(2023)Geo-statistical modelling challenges arise when regional models in data-scarce regions are required. This is relevant when evaluating and dealing with geotechnical uncertainty in earthquake engineering applications. From ... -
Advancements and challenges in direct loss-based seismic design
(2023)Provisions in seismic design codes generally focus on collapse prevention or life safety for major, rare earthquakes while damage prevention for minor, frequent ones. The evolution of theoretical knowledge, modelling ... -
Next Generation Community-Level Resilience Modeling: The Interdependent Networked Community Resilience Modeling Environment (IN-CORE)
(2023)In 2015, the U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funded the Center of Excellence for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning (CoE), a 14 university-based consortium of almost 100 people, including ... -
Implications of masonry infillﾖrelated uncertainty on the optimal seismic retrofitting of existing buildings
(2023)Many research efforts have focused on developing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes for selecting the optimal seismic retrofit alternative when several important decision variables (DVs) need to be considered. ...
