Abstract: Multivariate normal distribution is used widely to characterize the uncertainties and correlations for correlated geotechnical data. The success of constructing a multivariate normal distribution depends on the reliable ...

Abstract: Geological heterogeneity is a result of the natural deposit process of strata with a highly irregular and uncertain distribution of soil mass in the real world. However, compared with the effect of inherent spatial variability ...

Abstract: Momentum-based method and multibody method are often used in accident reconstructions. In this paper, a method that combines momentum-based method and multibody method is presented to analyze a real-world accident with ...

Abstract: Fragility functions are used in the vulnerability analysis of structures considering different sources of uncertainties. In this research, a framework to develop time-dependent fragility functions for circular tunnels ...

Abstract: Metro networks are complex systems that provide efficient and reliable transportation services for communities and play prominent roles in sustaining local economies, yet investments and safety enhancements to the networks ...
