Comparison between AS5100 fatigue load model and fatigue from representative traffic
(2023)Bridges provide an irreplaceable role in road transportation, and so it is vital to properly manage them. The traffic loading caused by trucks is decisive in bridge design and assessment, because it not only controls the ... -
Assessing Environmental Impact of Earthquake-Induced Damage for an Italian Case-study Building
(2023)This study assesses environmental impacts due to the repair of earthquake-induced damage considering an old reinforced concrete (RC) frame representative of those built in Italy before the 1970s. Such impacts, expressed ... -
Using Real-Time Spatial Delphi to locate Loading bays and Parcel Lockers
(2023)Urban logistics has become part of the citizensﾒ life, who often use e-commerce options to buy goods and groceries. The constant increase of this phenomenon which has been witnessed in recent years led to a consequent ... -
Digital twin and SHM informed risk based inspection planning for offshore wind turbine structures
(2023)Structural integrity management of wind turbine structures is typically based on equi-temporal inspection plans that do not account for the information that is or can be collected during their operation. This concerns the ... -
Lifecycle operational reliability assessment of water distribution networks based on artificial neural network
(2023)In urban operation, a reliable water distribution network (WDN) is the foundation and various factors may undermine the reliability of WDNs. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of WDNs, however, assessing the reliability ... -
Application of MCMC samplers with replica exchange and Russian Roulette in estimating structural reliability via importance sampling.
(2023)Rapid changes in performance function values near regions of failure, the presence of multiple failure regions of importance, and several disconnected failure regions separated by large regions of safety can pose substantial ... -
Constrained non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion for physics-informed machine learning regression
(2023)This work presents a constrained polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) as a physics-informed machine learning (ML) technique to supplement data with physical constraints in the regression framework. PCE is a popular metamodeling ... -
Efficient Wiener path integral most probable path determination based on extrapolation
(2023)The Wiener path integral technique for determining the stochastic response of diverse nonlinear dynamical systems relies on a variational formulation that leads to a functional minimization problem. This takes the form of ... -
A Framework of Data-driven Seismic Performance Assessment of Structures using Earthquake Ground Motion Time Histories Generated by Machine Learning Techniques
(2023)Observed ground motion time history records have been utilized in various ways to develop earthquake engineering. Especially in performance-based seismic design, dynamic response analysis is effective when strong motion ... -
A probabilistic framework for the assessment of bridges for once-off superloads
(2023)The transportation of once-off superloads is often treated using the same reliability levels as for new bridges which experience frequent normal and abnormal traffic loads for a remaining life of 100 years. An example of ... -
Probabilistic Corrosion Growth Models of Buried Steel Pipelines Using Inspection and Soil Survey Data
(2023)Buried steel pipelines are subjected to many possible threats during their service lives, and one of the dynamic threats to the integrity of such pipelines is external corrosion is present. The time-dependent performance ... -
Efficient Subset Simulations using Hamiltonian Neural Network enhanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods
(2023)The Monte Carlo method delivers an unbiased estimate of the probability of failure. However, the variance of the estimate depends on the number of evaluated samples. This number must be very large for estimations of a low ... -
Understanding the impacts of government spending on retrofits and buyouts to mitigate regional and homeowner impacts from hurricanes
(2023)Hurricanes cost lives, damage and destroy property, and devastate communities. Pairing mitigation tools with insurance improves resilience by reducing structural losses and speeding recovery. This study applies a computational ... -
Monetary Consequence Prediction for Hazardous Liquid Pipelines in US
(2023)There are more than 230,000 miles of hazardous liquid pipelines in the US, and more than 4,000 significant incidents have been reported since 2010 with 3.1-billion-dollar damage. The cost consequence estimation of pipeline ... -
A novel end-user-oriented approach to dynamic post-disaster resilience quantification for individual facilities
(2023)Community recovery from a disaster is a complex process, in which the importance of different types of infrastructure functionality can change over time. For instance, sheltering facilities can be critical in the immediate ... -
Development of Flood Vulnerability Functions for General Buildings in Japan using a Component-Based Approach
(2023)It is well known that Japan has historically faced many significant catastrophic (CAT) events, including floods, earthquakes, windstorms, among others. Evaluating the impact of CAT events on buildings is important to ... -
Assessment of onshore wind turbine fatigue damage subjected to tropical cyclone
(2023)Tropical cyclones (TCs) affect structures and infrastructure systems. They can cause low-cycle high amplitude stress for onshore and offshore structures, such as wind turbines (WTs). This study aims to evaluate the impact ... -
Developing an innovative region-wide risk-informed earthquake early warning decision support system
(2023)Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems provide brief notice to targeted audiences (e.g., civil protection services) of potentially destructive seismic events. This short warning time can be used to take rapid but effective ... -
Towards improved code-based performance objectives for liquefaction hazard analysis
(2023)Ground failure due to liquefaction in loose sand deposits poses substantial risks to the built environment, and has caused significant damage in past earthquakes to a wide range of infrastructure. Advances in liquefaction ... -
Influence of different historical best track databases on the assessed typhoon wind hazard for the coastal region of mainland China
(2023)Historical best track databases (HBTDs) are used as the basis for developing the tropical cyclone (TC) track model. Different HBTDs may not be consistent and may report different TC parameters. The impact of such inconsistency ...
