RISOptimization-Based Strong Coupling Procedure for Partitioned Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The concept of partitioning a complex engineering problem into smaller, manageable components and investigating each individual component autonomously has been in use for many decades. Such partitioning approaches, however, ...
Error and Uncertainty Analysis of Inexact and Imprecise Computer Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Computer simulations are routinely executed to predict the behavior of complex systems in many fields of engineering and science. These computer-aided predictions involve the theoretical foundation, numerical modeling, and ...
Partitioned Analysis of Coupled Numerical Models Considering Imprecise Parameters and Inexact Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study develops an integrated coupling and uncertainty quantification framework for strongly coupled models that explicitly considers the propagation of uncertainty and bias inherent in model prediction between ...
Assessment of Strength Degradation of Historic Masonry Monuments due to Damage: Load Path–Based Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Historic masonry monuments experience aging and accumulated damage, which consequently degrade both their stiffness and strength. Stiffness degradation can be quantified through nondestructive testing and has been widely ...
Sustainability Analysis of a Leakage-Monitoring Technique for Water Pipeline Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water infrastructure plays a crucial role in delivering freshwater for survival and economic prosperity of communities. Regrettably, drinking water pipeline infrastructures in the US and many other developed and developing ...
Influence of Soil Backfill on Vibration-Based Pipeline Leakage Detection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An estimated 20% of treated fresh water is lost through leakage in distribution pipeline infrastructure in the United States. As a result, significant research has been devoted to developing technologies that will assist ...
Simplified Approach for Reliability-Based Design against Basal-Heave Failure in Braced Excavations Considering Spatial Effect
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified approach for reliability analysis of basal heave in a braced excavation considering the spatial variability of soil parameters, The first-order reliability method (FORM) with a variance ...
Erratum for “Efficient Robust Geotechnical Design of Drilled Shafts in Clay Using a Spreadsheet” by Sara Khoshnevisan, Wenping Gong, C. Hsein Juang, and Sez Atamturktur
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Compressive Strength of Dry-Stacked Concrete Masonry Unit Assemblies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dry-stacked masonry construction consists of individual units stacked directly without mortar at the bed and head joints. Although dry-stacked construction offers many benefits including speed of construction and minimal ...
Detailing Steel Roof Decks to Control Damage from Wind-Borne Debris Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structurally hardened safe rooms are a proven strategy for enhancing life safety during tornadoes and other severe wind events. Performance criteria for safe rooms include resistance to both wind pressure and impact from ...
