Adaptive Learning for Surrogate Models in Active Subspace for High Dimensional Problems
(2023)Surrogate models are often employed in engineering analysis to replace a detailed model with complicated geometry, loading, material properties and boundary conditions, in order to achieve computational efficiency in ... -
Reliability-based topology optimization for multi-material structures
(2023)Structural optimization is a crucial aspect of engineering design, aimed at identifying the optimal configuration of a structure that meets specified constraints, such as displacement, stress, and buckling resistance, while ... -
The role of value of information in multi-agent deep reinforcement learning for optimal decision-making under uncertainty
(2023)To preserve structural safety of deteriorating engineering systems through optimal maintenance, it is imperative to efficiently integrate structural health information with decision-making optimization frameworks. Although ... -
Vulnerabilities in Water Distribution Systems Using N-k Contingency Analysis
(2023)Adequate performance of water distribution systems is at the core of community resilience. Water distribution systems are vulnerable to a variety of hazards, as they are susceptible to direct physical damage (e.g., ... -
Simulation-based flood fragility and vulnerability analysis for expanding cities
(2023)Accurately quantifying flood-induced impacts on buildings and other infrastructure systems is essential for risk-sensitive planning and decision-making in expanding urban regions. Flood-induced impacts are directly related ... -
Reparability-based design of concrete structures
(2023)The economic and environmental impacts associated with the demolition and long-term closure of damaged modern buildings in recent earthquakes (e.g., 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes) led to societal demands for improved ... -
Quantifying Uncertainties in Cargo Deck Deflections from Distributed Fiber Optic Strain Data
(2023)A variety of sensing modalities and sensor technologies are used to monitor the health, assess the condition, and quantify the life span of civil infrastructure. Among the more recent technologies utilized for health ... -
Assessment of effect on climate change on structural behaviour of corroded sheet-piles in harbors
(2023)Corrosion and water level affect the reliability of metal structures in the marine environment reducing their service capacity. This phenomenon can be accentuated by the presence of microorganisms which act directly or ... -
Uncertainty Quantification of Semi Destructive Testing for chloride content assessment for a concrete bridge in maritime environment
(2023)Harbors play a major socio-economic role in almost all littoral countries with more than 80% of trade exchange and play also usually a key role for military defense. Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures in harbors are ... -
Optimal exploitation of sparsely localised traffic data for modelling traffic flow in road networks
(2023)Traffic flow data are generally collected using induction loops. Therefore, to capture traffic dynamics along road sections, a very fine mesh of induction loops is required. However, due to their higher cost of installation ... -
Investigating the Use of Citizen-Science Data as a Proxy for Flood Risk Assessment in New York City
(2023)New York City has an extensive waterfront and numerous low-lying neighborhoods that make it highly exposed to the impacts of extreme weather events. With global warming increasing the frequency and intensity of these events, ... -
Simulating interacting multiple natural-hazard events for lifecycle consequence analysis
(2023)Among different types of natural-hazard interactions (simply multi-hazard interactions hereinafter), some occur through the nature of the hazards themselves, regardless of the presence of any physical assets: they are often ... -
Calibration of partial factors for wind action: an application to the Italian wind climate
(2023)The design of structures to wind actions requires: (1) a wind hazard map providing the characteristic value of the wind speed (or velocity pressure), usually associated with a return period T = 50 yrs; (2) an equation ... -
Structural integrity management via hierarchical resource allocation and continuous-control reinforcement learning
(2023)Maintenance planning of engineering systems is typically posed as a discrete stochastic optimal control problem, as it refers to determining a series of distinct interventions that upkeep structural integrity. Advanced ... -
Uncertainty-aware surrogates for early stage design prototyping
(2023)Surrogate modelling is a powerful tool that can help to solve both inverse problems as well as acting as a tool for early stage rapid prototyping. It is possible to create surrogate models and visualisation environments ... -
An Assessment of the Suitability of Scour Estimation Methodologies for a Northern Ireland Scour Risk Assessment
(2023)Scour risk estimation is a complex discipline given the inherent natural variability of watercourses and bed materials. The majority of risk assessments are based initially on qualitative measures followed by the estimation ... -
Fragility analysis of the IEA-15MW wind turbine blades using the surrogate modelling approach
(2023)With the concerns related to global warming and the political scenario threatening energy security, all the nations are moving toward renewable energy sources. Wind energy has seen tremendous scale and power generation ... -
Development of a Bayesian framework for the post-fire assessment of concrete structures
(2023)Fire can have a significant impact on concrete structures, including the reduction of their structural capacity. A post-fire assessment must be conducted to determine the condition of the structure, which is based on a ... -
Calibration of partial factors for actions in the Eurocodes accounting for biases in climatic load maps
(2023)In view of the development of the 2nd generation of structural Eurocodes, a discussion on standard optimization by means of the calibration of partial factors for actions is currently ongoing. In the paper, the calibration ... -
A Data-driven Methodology for Damage Detection of Roadway Bridges Using Stress Data Distributions
(2023)Knowing the health state of bridges and viaducts in complex infrastructures enables the structural risk management and optimization of maintenance actions. Real-time data collection from infrastructures subject to traffic ...
