RISAnalysis and Design of Tensile Membrane Structures: Challenges and Recommendations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tensile membrane structures (TMS) are increasingly in demand due to their ability to span large distances with elegance and structural efficiency. Because TMS is comparatively new to the structural engineering world, there ...

New Approach for Conditional Coring in RC Structures Using Bivariate Distributions of Nondestructive Test Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nondestructive tests (NDT) and partially destructive tests (PDT) are routinely employed for the management of aging infrastructure assets. Owing to the uncertainties in such NDT/PDT data, codes and guidelines recommend the ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Frame-Supported Tensile Membrane Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the inherent flexibility of tensile membrane structures (TMS), they need to remain in a stable equilibrium condition in the presence of gusty winds as well as in their absence. This paper is aimed at the reliability-based ...
Bayesian Approach for the Seismic Fragility Estimation of a Containment Shell Based on the Formation of Through-Wall Cracks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The primary containment (PC) in a nuclear power plant provides the last barrier against radiation leakage to the environment. Design specifications fail to assess the performance of a seismically-damaged containment against ...

Sensitivity of Value of Information to Model and Measurement Errors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The value of information (VoI) framework, based on Bayesian preposterior analysis, can be used to estimate the most likely benefit associated with a particular structural health monitoring (SHM) strategy. The errors within ...
Impact of Design Code Evolution on Failure Mechanism and Seismic Fragility of Highway Bridge Piers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Seismic design principles of highway bridges across the globe have undergone significant modifications over the last decades, from little consideration of seismic effects to adoption of modern ductile detailing principles. ...
