RISEfficient Evaluation of Reliability for Slopes with Circular Slip Surfaces Using Importance Sampling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluating the reliability of a slope is a challenging task because the possible slip surface is not known beforehand. Approximate methods via the first-order reliability method provide efficient ways of evaluating failure ...
Observations on Limit Equilibrium–Based Slope Reliability Problems with Inclined Weak Seams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study addresses the complexity of slope reliability problems based on limit equilibrium methods (LEMs). The main focus is on the existence of multiple failure modes that poses difficulty to many LEM-based slope ...
Diverse Relationship between ENSO and the Northwest Pacific Summer Climate among CMIP5 Models: Dependence on the ENSO Decay Pace
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe impacts of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the northwest Pacific (NWP) climate during ENSO decay summers are investigated based on the outputs of 37 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) from phase ...
Dynamic Properties of Wind-Excited Linked Tall Buildings Considering both Intrabuilding and Interbuilding Structural Couplings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An improved analytical evaluation model considering both the interbuilding coupling caused by the link and the intrabuilding structural coupling caused by eccentricities is developed for linked building systems (LBS). ...
