Bilevel Data-Driven Modeling Framework for High-Dimensional Structural Optimization under Uncertainty Problems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Optimization under uncertainty (OUU) is a robust framework to obtain optimal designs for real engineering problems considering uncertainties. The numerical solution for large-scale problems involving millions of ...
An Integrated GIS-BBN Approach to Quantify Resilience of Roadways Network Infrastructure System against Flood Hazard
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Infrastructure resilience is defined as the ability of a system to withstand and recover from the effects of natural or man-made hazards. For any community, quantifying its sociophysical infrastructure resilience during ...
Analysis 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 ...

Risk Priority Number for Bridge Failures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: One of the important and systematic methods that is used for the identification of failure of any system is the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). This is carried out through the identification of the most important ...
A Bayesian Network Modeling Approach for Time-Varying Flood Resilience Assessment of Housing Infrastructure System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Natural hazard causes severe types of damage to infrastructure systems at regular intervals, and the occurrence of such events is inevitable. The concept of resilience is adopted to make infrastructure systems more reliable, ...
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 ...

A Hierarchical Bayesian Network Model for Flood Resilience Quantification of Housing Infrastructure Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Resilience is defined as the capacity of a system to withstand a natural hazard and to regain desirable performance after the occurrence of such disasters. Natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and ...
Structural Performance of Nanosilica-Blended Square and Circular CFST Stub Columns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The study focuses on the structural behavior of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns with conventional cement concrete and nano-silica blended (doses of 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% nano-silica by weight) concrete core ...
