Adaptable robust traffic signal control for urban road networked systems with uncertain capacity
Chiou, Suh-Wen; ICASP14 (2023)In order to effectively mitigate congestion and propagate uncertainty in road networked systems, a robust signal control with adaption to traffic dynamics is presented. A Stochastic Traffic Model (STM) is introduced to ... -
Adaptation of residential houses to increasing wind hazard under climate change
Tomokiyo, Eriko; Nishijima, Kazuyoshi; ICASP14 (2023)Adaptation to climate change has become a central issue all over the world. Japan is facing increasing wind damage to residential houses due to the impacts of more frequent intensified typhoons. However, the adaptation of ... -
Adaptive importance sampling for efficient probabilistic storm surge estimation
ICASP14; Kyprioti, Aikaterini; Jung, WoongHee; Taflanidis, Alexandros (2023)During landfalling tropical storms, probabilistic predictions of the storm surge constitute important products for guiding emergency response decisions. The probabilistic formulation for these predictions is established ... -
Adaptive Learning for Surrogate Models in Active Subspace for High Dimensional Problems
Mahadevan, Sankaran; Nath, Paromita; ICASP14; Guo, Yulin (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 ... -
Addressing the pitfalls of risk-based methods for fire safety design of structures
Torero, José L.; Galasso, Carmine; Franchini, Andrea; ICASP14 (2023)Risk-based design and assessment methods are gaining popularity in the context of performance-based structural fire engineering. Nevertheless, they often ignore that there exists a strong dependency between the combustion ... -
Advancements and challenges in direct loss-based seismic design
Gentile, Roberto; ICASP14 (2023)Provisions in seismic design codes generally focus on collapse prevention or life safety for major, rare earthquakes while damage prevention for minor, frequent ones. The evolution of theoretical knowledge, modelling ... -
AI/ML-assisted analysis of the IABSE bridge collapse database
Güner, Ismail; ICASP14; Proske, Dirk (2023)Former statistical analyses of bridge collapse data show that concrete bridges collapse significantly less frequently than bridges made of steel or wood. Since the main causes of bridge collapses worldwide are floods and ... -
Alternative Risk Metrics to Evaluate Tradeoffs between Efficiency and Equity of Risk Reduction
Johnson, David; ICASP14; Geldner, Nathan (2023)A common criticism of traditional benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is that benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) are reductive, in the sense that they aggregate all benefits and costs into a scalar value; decision rules that aim to maximize ... -
An Adaptive Dynamic Downscaling Strategy to Obtain Real-time Multi-resolution Wind-field during Evolving Tropical Cyclones to Support Real-Time Risk Forecast of Powerlines
ICASP14; Wang, Naiyu; Huang, Xiubing (2023)Tropical cyclone (TC) induced high winds often cause significant damages to powerline systems and lead to widespread power failure and socio-economic losses. Meteorological numerical weather prediction during an evolving ... -
An Assessment of the Suitability of Scour Estimation Methodologies for a Northern Ireland Scour Risk Assessment
ICASP14; Campbell, Kristopher; O'Higgins, Connor; Lydon, Myra; Braiden, Pearce (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 ... -
An Earthquake Early Warning Decision Support System for Railway Bridge Infrastructure
Galasso, Carmine; Tubaldi, Enrico; ICASP14; Gehl, Pierre; Ozer, Ekin; Cremen, Gemma (2023)Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems deliver actionable information seconds before the arrival of damaging seismic waves from an oncoming earthquake at a target site. Such information can potentially contribute to ... -
An efficient approach to reliability-based topology optimization of continuum structures with multimodal distributions
ICASP14; Lei, Zhenzeng; Yang, Dixiong (2023)Reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) considering uncertainties has attracted great attention recently. In practical applications, some random variables follow multimodal distributions, thus, RBTO with multimodal ... -
