A probabilistic framework for the assessment of bridges for once-off superloads
ICASP14; Sykora, Mirek; Schmidt, Franziska; Lenner, Roman; Van der Spuy, Pierre (2023)The transportation of once-off superloads is often treated using the same reliability levels as for new bridges which experience frequent normal and abnormal traffic loads for a remaining life of 100 years. An example of ... -
Assessment of tsunami damage to buildings in resilient Byblos City and uncertainty considerations
ICASP14; Schmidt, Franziska; Lee, Jong; Navarro, Christopher; Makhoul, Nisrine (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 ... -
Lifetime reassessment of offshore wind turbines using meta-models
Rolfes, Raimund; Hübler, Clemens; ICASP14; Schmidt, Franziska (2023)Offshore wind turbines are usually designed for 25 years. After this period, there are various options regarding the further use of the wind turbines. One option is a so-called lifetime extension, i.e., to continue operating ... -
Sensitivity analysis of adjusted partial factors for the assessment of an existing reinforced concrete bridge
Lavergne, Francis; Alam, Midula; ICASP14; Orcesi, André; Schmidt, Franziska; Ientile, Silvia (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 ...
