An Integrated Framework for Wildfire Evacuation in a Damaged Transportation Network
(2023)The severity and duration of wildfires are anticipated to rise as a result of climate change and suppression efforts. As more people are moving to the wildland-urban interface, wildfire activity poses an even greater threat ... -
Probabilistic Multi-hazard Shaking-Tsunami Risk Assessment for the District of Tofino, British Columbia, Canada, Subjected to Megathrust Cascadia Subduction Events
(2023)Canada has a high likelihood of facing significant earthquake threats in the future. On the Pacific coast, southwestern British Columbia is exposed to significant seismic hazards and secondary hazards (e.g., tsunamis and ... -
The impact of local fatigue damage on bridge performance
(2023)Fatigue is one of the main failure mechanisms for steel bridges and theoretically puts restrictions or limitations on their continued use. However, bridges are structures with redundancy to various extents. The appearance ... -
Framework for probabilistic connectivity estimation of bridge networks under seismic and flood hazards
(2023)As observed in recent disasters due to earthquakes and floods (e.g. 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and 2020 Kyushu floods), since the transportation networks including bridges play a crucial role in the evacuation of ... -
Reliability-based multiobjective optimization of structural dynamical systems: A Markov sampling approach
(2023)Reliability-based multiobjective optimization formulations give valuable insight for the design of structural dynamical systems under stochastic excitation. Nonetheless, since reliability assessment is often carried out ... -
Probabilistic estimation of time required for disaster waste disposal generated by both ground motion and tsunami
(2023)A catastrophic earthquake over Nankai Trough is predicted in the Pacific coastal region of Japan. The ground motion and giant tsunami caused by the anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake could cause significant damage to ... -
Poorly-informative priors in geotechnical risk analysis
(2023)Quantitative risk analysis has become a common part of geotechnical engineering. In domains such as dam safety, seismic hazard assessment, and flood damage reduction it has come to depend to a large extent on personalized ... -
A Serious Game Conceptual Approach to Protect Critical Infrastructure Resilience in Smart Cities
(2023)Smart cities have become the most popular concept to manage assets and resources in the growing urban environment. To achieve sustainable city development in smart cities, it is imperative that smart development combined ... -
Comparison of methods for model uncertainty quantification
(2023)Model uncertainties are included in reliability assessments to account for the uncertainty introduced by the use of computational models to obtain e.g. resistances and load effects. Often, the model uncertainty is modeled ... -
Optimal risk-based design of a RC frame under column loss scenario
(2023)Structural systems may be subject to abnormal loads with small probability of occurrence but great intensity, which may lead to local damage, and even loss of loadbearing elements. In this context, it is important to design ... -
Evaluating the exact value of failure probability based on conditional outcrossing rate
(2023)By taking the advantage of Poisson events, outcrossing method has been widely applied for time-dependent reliability analysis considering continuous processes. Generally, the outcrossing method can only obtain an upper ... -
Reliability Analysis of Corroded RC Structures Integrating Hybrid Bayesian Network
(2023)The performance of RC structures might deteriorate with time due to environmental stressors (e.g., chloride ingress and concrete carbonation), compromising structural safety and social sustainability. Many studies have ... -
Displacement-based risk-targeted design of base-isolated structures
(2023)This paper discusses a risk-targeted displacement-based method to design and evaluate friction pendulum bearing (FPB) devices in base isolation systems. It is based on a simplified approach to quantify the mean annual ... -
Fitting improved hazard models for SAC/FEMA-compatible seismic analysis
(2023)An improved method of fitting second-order analytical functional forms of seismic hazard compatible with SAC/FEMA-style analysis is presented for use in performance-based earthquake engineering. A novel set of expressions ... -
A simple formula for time-dependent seismic reliability assessment of aging structures
(2023)The capacity deterioration of structures over time may impair their seismic structural reliability significantly, and thus should be taken into account when assessing their seismic performance. In this paper, a simple ... -
Towards the assessment and risk classification of existing building typologies using storey-loss functions
(2023)Loss assessment due to earthquake events is becoming a common instrument in the seismic performance assessment of existing structures. For this purpose, different approaches exist with varying degrees of complexity and ... -
A code calibration for heavy special transports on railway bridges
(2023)The current paper summarizes a code calibration project for heavy special transports on railway bridges. The basis is the Swedish code for assessing existing bridges, which has a safety format based on partial factors. ... -
Time-dependent resilience as a generalization of time-dependent reliability
(2023)Civil structures and infrastructures are often subjected by design to the impacts of natural and human-caused hazardous events, and accordingly may suffer from damages, functionality loss, and failure. In order to ... -
Duration-dependent Fragility Functions for Seismic Damage and Loss Assessment of High-rise Buildings
(2023)The availability of large repositories of recorded and synthetic ground motions coupled with structural response simulation data in recent years has led to the increased popularity of data-driven models for seismic damage ... -
Influence of Community Characterization on the Output Uncertainty of the Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model
