Time- and state-dependent fragility analysis of deteriorating reinforced concrete buildings under seismic sequences
(2023)Structural systems in seismically-active regions typically undergo multiple ground-motion sequences during their service life (including multiple mainshocks, mainshocks triggering other earthquakes on nearby fault segments, ... -
Influence of the spatial variability of the corrosion parameters on SLS failure probability of marine reinforced concrete structures
(2023)Existing reinforced concrete marine structures are subject to the penetration of chemical agents, mainly chlorides, which leads to their degradation through pitting corrosion of rebars. Because of our limited knowledge ... -
A Markovian framework for multi-hazard life-cycle consequence analysis of deteriorating structural systems
(2023)Multiple-hazard (or simply multi-hazard) interactions are either disregarded or addressed inadequately in most existing computational risk modelling frameworks for natural hazards, leading to inaccurate life-cycle consequence ... -
Stochastic Emulation with Enhanced Partial Replication Strategy for Seismic Response Estimation
(2023)Modern performance earthquake engineering practices typically entail a large number of time-consuming nonlinear time history simulations to appropriately incorporate excitation and model uncertainties in the decision making ... -
Uncertainty Quantification of Buckling Loads of Thin and Slender Structures Applying Linear and Nonlinear Analysis
(2023)The evaluation of the buckling load is a crucial issue when designing different types of structures. It is well known that buckling loads of structures are highly sensitive to random deviations from a nominal design, which ... -
Energy Harvesting for Detecting Hidden Damages
(2023)The paper presents how energy harvesting devices can be deployed to assess and estimate damages that are hidden to difficult to reach in terms of being able to provide instrumentation. To demonstrate this, the paper uses ... -
New versus Previous ASCE 7-16 Earthquake Loads for 500 Overseas Locations
(2023)The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Earthquake Loads Overseas project is an ongoing collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation to compute Risk-targeted ... -
First Excursion Probability Sensitivity Estimation by means of Multidomain Line Sampling
(2023)The first excursion probability offers the means for measuring the chances that one or more dynamic responses of a structural system subject to stochastic loading exceed a prescribed threshold level within a certain time ... -
Sustainability potential of risk-informed decisions in structural design
(2023)Structural design codes feature safety concepts that are highly generalized to make them simple and applicable to a large variety of structures at the same time. This leads to structures that are sufficiently safe but where ... -
Probabilistic considerations and use of WIM data for assessing structural safety effects of permitting 74 ton heavy trucks on Norwegian bridges
(2023)The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has been asked to provide scientific background on the effect of increasing the maximum allowed traffic load to 74 ton on the structural safety of existing road bridges. This is a ... -
Comparison of strategies for the optimal sampling of random functions
(2023)In engineering problems and applications are usually characterized by uncertainty. The accurate quantification of possible effects of those uncertainties is of vital importance. The most common approach to do so is ... -
Impact of building code changes on future hurricane risk of residential buildings in changing climate
(2023)Hurricanes are one of the biggest natural hazards to residential buildings under the worsening climate change. As the effect of climate change on hurricane risks has been suggested by many studies, the urge to change ... -
Probabilistic optimisation of the maintenance of steel components in French nuclear power facilities
(2023)Certain structural steel components located in the secondary part of PWR (Pressurized Water Reactors) nuclear power plants are subject to an atmospheric corrosion phenomenon in a confined environment affecting their bottom ... -
Rapid Resilience assessment of a Transport Networks for Medical Needs
(2023)A healthy transportation network should be resilient in many ways and resilience for medical emegencies or needs are one of the important factors in this regard. This paper demonstrates for such resilieince can be rapidly ... -
Assessing the vulnerability of a Dutch river dyke to rising water levels
(2023)Dykes provide protection from the risk of flooding to approximately 60% of the Netherlands, by area. Unfortunately, most of the countryﾒs major cities lie within this zone, placing a large proportion of the population at ... -
Sequential design of Gaussian process surrogates using pre-posterior analysis and Bayesian model averaging
(2023)To build a surrogate model from experimental data ﾖ from tests or computer simulations ﾖ numerous options may exist when choosing a mathematical form. This is true for Gaussian Processes (GP) models, which may or may not ... -
Probabilistic resilience model for management of road infrastructure systems subject to flood events
(2023)Road infrastructure systems play a critical role in economic development by facilitating access to markets, jobs, and social services. However, they are vulnerable to various natural hazards and threats, which have caused ... -
Economic Efficacy Assessment of Deteriorating Protection Structures Subjected to Natural Phenomena in Mountains
(2023)Natural phenomena in mountains (e.g., torrential floods, debris flows) pose threat to people and material assets (e.g., houses, roads). Depending on their intensity, they can result in direct damages (e.g., destruction) ... -
Approximate Bayesian Computation considering Summary Statistics for Parameter Identification in Computational Mechanics
(2023)Computational mechanics offers the possibility to construct numerical models that simulate the behavior of real-world engineering systems. These numerical models usually depend on a series of parameters such as material ... -
Probabilistic safety-checking with un-scaled records for the equivalent SDOF system
(2023)The intensity-based Demand and Capacity Factor Design (DCFD) is a probabilistic closed-form analytical safety-checking format, derived based on a set of simplifying assumptions, that lends itself quite well to visual ...
