Reliability of complex timber structures: impact of connection non-linearity and overstrength
(2023)In statically indeterminate timber structures, the stiffness of the members and the semi-rigid behavior of the joints influence the force distribution in the structure, affecting its performance and reliability. In this ... -
Basis of serviceability limit state target reliability: Fact or fiction?
(2023)Target reliability forms the basis of modern structural design and finds its root in cost optimisation. Ultimate limit state (ULS) target reliability is well-founded and has been extensively researched. Serviceability limit ... -
Surrogate-based reliability analysis for noisy models
(2023)Reliability analysis ultimately aims at estimating the probability of failure of a system. In this context, limit-state functions represent the system performance, i.e., whether it fails or not, and consist of potentially ... -
Probabilistic models for Italian road traffic with gross vehicle weight limitations based on weigh-in-motion data
(2023)Traffic load models provided by standard regulations play a major role in both design and management of road infrastructure. Considering the persistent change in the traffic load characteristics, a proper validation of ... -
Workflow-induced uncertainty in probabilistic landslide hazard maps
(2023)Increasing complexity and capacity of computational physics-based landslide run-out modelling over the last few years yielded highly efficient model-based decision support tools, e.g. landslide susceptibility or run-out ... -
Reduced order surrogate modeling of opening along the interface due to debonding in non-metallic reinforced cementitious composites
(2023)The key model component required for a realistic characterization of cementitious composites with non-metallic reinforcement is the crack bridge model, which can capture the triggering mechanism of splitting cracks in ... -
Review of innovation theories in the perspective of Bayesian decision analysis
(2023)Innovation requires novel technologies or its novel application and will only impact if it creates industrial and societal benefits on large scale. Thus, the industrial and societal benefits should be quantified prior and ... -
Probability Distribution of Torsional Response by Qﾖ? Resonance of Multi-Story Building under Long-Period Seismic Motion
(2023)When the sum or difference of the natural frequencies in the two horizontal translational modes coincides with the natural frequency in the torsional mode, an internal resonance phenomenon occurs because the torsional ... -
Diffusion term of the Fokker Planck equation for fractional differential equations enforced by white noise
(2023)In many applications of engineering interest, like in the viscoelastic modelling of solids, the equation of motion can have one or more terms containing derivatives of non-integer order. It follows that finding the probability ... -
Life Quality Index for Optimizing a Safety Improvement Program
(2023)The Life Quality Index (LQI), a composite social indicator, was proposed as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in safety measures to enhance life quality. In the structural reliability field, the life ... -
Mechanics-based fragility assessment of existing prestressed concrete bridges under traffic loads
(2023)After catastrophic collapse of several major bridges in Italy, the safety evaluation and retrofit interventions on existing bridges became a top priority for the engineering community, road management companies and government. ... -
Structural performance validation of a glass fibre-reinforced composite demonstrator for wind turbine blades
(2023)As the world moves towards a more sustainable way of life, Ireland must invest significantly in creating a carbon-free energy system. Currently, in Ireland, the largest source of renewable energy is wind. According to the ... -
Multifidelity support vector machines classifiers exploiting discretization error estimators for structural reliability
(2023)In reliability analysis, the estimation of probability of failure is computionally challenging. The deterministic numerical simulation of large civil engineering structures using discretization techniques such as the Finite ... -
Modified Cloud Analysis: An efficient tool for seismic fragility assessment
(2023)Modified Cloud Analysis (MCA) is proposed as an alternative to the original Cloud Analysis for handling the collapse-inducing records. Collapse and non-collapse part of the data can be treated as mutually exclusive and ... -
Efficient variance-based reliability sensitivity analysis for Monte Carlo methods
(2023)In the application of state-of-the-art reliability methods, often the quantification of the influence of the stochastic parameter properties with respect to the estimated failure probability is requested. In an iterative ... -
Selection of informative monitoring techniques for bridge-performance evaluations
(2023)Decisions regarding the management of civil infrastructure are becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is presently approaching what is often considered to be the end of their theoretical service duration. ... -
Bayesian empirical vulnerability modelling for hierarchical levels of damage and loss: Applications to Tsunami Risk Modelling
(2023)Empirical fragility and vulnerability curves express the probabilities of exceeding certain damage and loss levels respectively for given values of intensity measures for specific classes of building or infrastructure. ... -
Application of structural reliability methods for the safety assessment of autonomous vehicles
(2023)Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) see a constantly growing attention by researchers and industries as more and more vehicles are equipped with such technology. It is generally expected to see first Automated Driving ... -
Short and long-term prediction of traffic flow using Machine-learning and Deep learning techniques..
