Active-learning-based system reliability analysis with budget constraints
(2023)Ensuring the safety of structures is a crucial task in engineering design. Structural reliability analysis provides practitioners with tools to estimate the probability of failure of various engineering systems. Failure ... -
Assessment of tsunami damage to buildings in resilient Byblos City and uncertainty considerations
(2023)Byblos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its resilience quality, as it is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It thrived for over 7000 years, mitigating shocks and stresses and still adapting ... -
Reliability assessment of RC Bridges under seismic loads
(2023)An approach to estimate the probability of failure, the reliability index ? and the mean annual failure rate by using closed mathematical expressions is presented. The approach is related to the probabilistic seismic demand ... -
Duration of strong ground motion affected by site conditions.
(2023)The duration of strong earthquakes plays an important role in seismic design. Many studies have dedicated to the strong earthquakes duration, but the existing researches considering the effect of site conditions is not ... -
Near-real-time online process control using grey-box models
(2023)Near-real time control of dynamical processes is very beneficial as it enables detection and timely intervention in case of diminishing quality or necessary parameter adjustment. This can improve quality and reliability, ... -
A data-driven surrogate model for forecasting functionality states of transportation networks during extreme rainfall events based on the ConvLSTM method
(2023)A quick foresight (or a short-term forecast) of highly probable functionality states of transportation networks under extreme rainfall events can provide excellent reference for proactive risk mitigation interventions, ... -
Seismic risk-based design of simply-supported bridges in Italy
(2023)Current design codes are mostly based on a force-based seismic design approach, which accounts for the inelastic capacity of structures by means of a reduction coefficient, i.e. behaviour factor. In recent years, there has ... -
Flexible modeling of the trend for geotechnical spatial variability by Gaussian process regression
(2023)The spatial variation of a soil parameter is usually modeled as the summation of spatial trend and spatial variability. Traditional, the trend is assumed deterministic and is fitted by spatial data. However, previous studies ... -
The Use of Autoregression to Generate Patterns of Extreme Loading on Long-Span Bridges
(2023)For long-span bridges, there is little known about the gaps between vehicles in the congested traffic loading events that govern the characteristic maximum load effects. In many studies for the derivation of national ... -
Optimizing the Bridge Maintenance Schedule of Transportation Networks under Uncertainty: A Simheuristic Approach Considering Reliability
(2023)In this work, we consider optimal maintenance scheduling policies of bridges in transportation networks. The network is composed of a set of urban centers, connecting roads, and corresponding bridges. Bridges, as one of ... -
Sensitivity analysis of adjusted partial factors for the assessment of an existing reinforced concrete bridge
(2023)Design standards for Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges are generally based on a semi-probabilistic format using partial factors to take into account material, geometrical and load effect uncertainties. In the case of an ... -
Predicting the long-term creep behaviour of glued laminated elements
(2023)The long-term creep behaviour of timber structures is an ever-increasing research focus given the rise of mass timber buildings across the world. Experimentally examining such properties is a time-consuming and costly ... -
Probabilistic evaluation of road bridges under heavy load platforms
(2023)Road bridges are one of the most important infrastructure assets for global transportation. With the growing freight demands, traffic loads on bridges are also increasing. Specifically, the increase of heavy load platforms ... -
Network Reliability Analysis and Complexity Quantification Using Bayesian Network and Dual Representation
(2023)Modern society operates upon various lifeline networks such as transportation networks, power networks, and gas distribution networks. To secure their reliable operations, it is critical to evaluate their reliability. ... -
A Method for Probabilistic Analysis in Structural Dynamics Based on Separation of Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties
(2023)There is still much philosophical debate about whether a frequentist or subjective view of probability should be adopted. Some uncertainties (typically aleatory uncertainties) are naturally modelled using a frequentist ... -
Application of Statistical Method on Field Pile Loading Test Result Analysis
(2023)Most geotechnical engineering issues face great degree of uncertainties since it studies a natural material - soils and rocks. So the analysis of data obtained from field tests requires intensive data processing in order ... -
A Generalized Framework for Reliability Assessment of Bridges using Adjusted Partial Safety and Combination Factors
(2023)Assessment of degrading infrastructure, particularly bridges, represents a growing challenge for structural engineers. While traditional strategies for bridge assessment, such as a code-based rating factor assessment, are ... -
A value of information framework for quantifying the value of reliability assessment for a steel railway truss bridge
(2023)Infrastructure is frequently subject to various loading and environmental stressors that cause degradation of its performance with time. Management of such degrading infrastructure is conditioned upon its estimated ... -
A response spectra based intensity measure for seismic system reliability
(2023)This work studies a newly proposed seismic intensity measure (IM) and evaluates its efficiency and sufficiency with respect to ground motion records and structural response, with the end goal of computing structural system ... -
Probabilistic risk assessment of coastal infrastructure systems under climate change
(2023)The vulnerability of coastal infrastructure systems can be affected by various climate-related hazards, such as tropical cyclones. Over the long term, the impact of hazards on systems may be magnified due to exposure to ...
