Multi-Time Unscented Kalman Inversion for Calibration of Expensive Chaotic Models
(2023)Computer models traditionally used for weather and climate prediction have extremely high computational costs, which impedes their use in infrastructure design decisions, scientific exploration, and uncertainty quantification. ... -
Online Aleatory Uncertainty Quantification for Probabilistic Time Series Models
(2023)Engineering problems rely on probabilistic models for decision making tasks. One such approach are the state-space models used for time series forecasting which involve unknown parameters for not only modelling physical ... -
Integrating Hazard, Engineering and Economic Models to Evaluate Earthquake Mitigation Strategies: Applying the IN-CORE model to Salt Lake City, Utah
(2023)This paper focuses on integrating stochastic engineering with economic models to evaluate earthquake mitigation policies in Salt Lake County, UT, by comparing results under a portfolio of ex-ante and ex-post policies that ... -
Bernstein adaptive nonparametric conditional sampling: a new method for rare event probability estimation
(2023)Reliability analysis often requires estimating small failure probabilities, associated with rare events. To overcome their intractable crude Monte Carlo estimation, various techniques have been proposed. Among others, ... -
A theoretical model of lateral coherence in isotropic turbulence based on stochastic Fourier wave-number spectrum
(2023)With the development of measuring instruments and the study of turbulence theory, the field measurement of wind field has become increasingly accurate and refined. Thus, these improvements provide us with a new perspective ... -
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for probabilistic, global modelling of future tropical cyclone risk
(2023)Modelling the risk of natural hazards for society, ecosystems, and the economy is subject to strong uncertainties, even more so in the context of a changing climate, growing economies, evolving societies, and declining ... -
A Probabilistic Approach to Estimating Post-disaster Unmet Housing Needs Under Limited Information
(2023)This paper presents a methodology to estimate post-disaster unmet housing needs that is accurate and relies only on data obtained shortly after a disaster. Statistical models for aid distributed by the Federal Emergency ... -
Influence of uncertain geotechnical data in dynamic CPT-based Winkler models for OWT monopiles
(2023)The strive to meet renewable energy targets has revealed new challenges in structural health monitoring procedures for offshore wind turbine foundations. The lack of available data on the realtime performance of monopile ... -
Effect of uncertainty in CPT end resistance on predicted monopile head load-displacement responses for offshore wind turbines
(2023)The increasing demand for renewable energy has led to the rapid growth of the offshore wind sector, leading to larger Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) being developed in deeper water locations further offshore. The geotechnical ... -
Decision-making tool for structural integrity assessment of buried water-transmission mains using a geomechanical approach
(2023)Renewal of aged drinking water pipes, especially for large-diameter water-transmission buried pipelines, called feeders, is necessary to ensure sustained access to drinking water services with both high quality and high ... -
Optimal mechanical performance prediction of a sediment-based geopolymer road sub-layer
(2023)One of the major obstacles for the implementation of dredged sediment in the manufacture of concrete is its variable mineralogical properties. However, its use in the manufacture of geopolymer binder as proven to be an ... -
Condition Assessment of In-situ Concrete in Aging Residential Buildings in Mumbai ﾖ A Probabilistic Approach
(2023)This paper presents condition assessment of in-situ concrete in existing residential buildings in Anushaktinagar, Mumbai region. For this purpose, various non-destructive and partially destructive tests have been carried ... -
Realistic system reliability estimates in design of levee systems
(2023)Reliability-based design of levee systems requires proper treatment of spatial variability in reliability analysis. In practice, this is often dealt with by standardized factors that represent the typical spatial variability. ... -
The NARX neural network time series prediction technique and highly efficient reliability analysis method
(2023)The reliability analysis theory represented by the stochastic simulation method requires repeated deterministic structural response analysis, which undoubtedly consumes a large amount of computational cost; meanwhile, the ... -
Statistically determining liquefaction potential index (LPI)-based liquefaction potential classification for the practice in Taiwan
(2023)In geotechnical earthquake engineering, the liquefaction potential index (LPI) proposed by Iwasaki et al. (1982) is commonly adopted to quantify the severity of ground manifestation or the damage to low-rise buildings due ... -
Stochastic responses analysis of vibro-impact system via direct probability integral method
(2023)Vibro-impact system, as an important type of non-smooth system in mechanical engineering, has received much research interest in the past few decades. The behaviors of vibro-impact system are complex and unusual, because ... -
AI/ML-assisted analysis of the IABSE bridge collapse database
(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 ... -
Theory of the Development of Safety in Codes of Practice
(2023)Nowadays, the required safety of structures is achieved in codes of practice through computational verifications and qualitative requirements, e.g., on the building materials and the construction processes. Both the ... -
