Abstract: Disaster resilience is an emerging concept for managing the risk of civil structural systems considering not only structural safety against extreme loads but also aftermath recovery efforts. The system reliability–based ...

Abstract: The concept of disaster resilience has emerged to describe the holistic ability of civil infrastructure systems to withstand various hazards by preventing initial disruptions, progressive failures, and critical long-term ...

Abstract: Gaussian processes (GPs) are a popular technique for global metamodeling applications. Their objective in such settings is to establish an efficient and globally accurate approximation of the response surface of computationally ...
