Assessment of Damage Risks to Residential Buildings and Cost–Benefit of Mitigation Strategies Considering Hurricane and Earthquake Hazards
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Damage to residential buildings in the United States caused by hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards is significant. Economic losses average approximately $5.4 billion annually from hurricanes and approximately ...
Plain Concrete Prisms Externally Strengthened by CFRP Bonded with Graphene Oxide–Modified Magnesium Phosphate Cement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Graphene oxide (GO)–modified magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is used as an adhesive to bond carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in the formation of MPC-CFRP strengthening materials. The performance of ...
Reliability of Roof Panels in Coastal Areas Considering Effects of Climate Change and Embedded Corrosion of Metal Fasteners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Roof panels have been recognized as the most vulnerable components in wood construction under hurricane events, which can result in enormous economic losses and human casualties. This paper presents a reliability analysis ...
Evaluation of Hurricane Resilience of Residential Community Considering a Changing Climate, Social Disruption Cost, and Environmental Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Reliability of Roof Panels in Coastal Areas Considering Effects of Climate Change and Embedded Corrosion of Metal Fasteners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Roof panels have been recognized as the most vulnerable components in wood construction under hurricane events, which can result in enormous economic losses and human casualties. This paper presents a reliability analysis ...
Risk Assessment in Quantification of Hurricane Resilience of Residential Communities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a framework to evaluate hurricane resilience of residential communities. Building resilience often refers to community resilience instead of individual resilience. Few efforts have been made to relate ...
Reliability-Based Assessment and Cost Analysis of Power Distribution Systems at Risk of Tornado Hazard
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Power distribution systems are susceptible to significant damage when hit by a tornado. This damage can cause huge economic losses resulting from the cost of repairing failed distribution lines, the loss of electricity ...
Assessing Climate Change Impact on System Reliability of Power Distribution Systems Subjected to Hurricanes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Damage to power distribution systems due to hurricanes is likely to increase due to a possible increase in the intensity of tropical cyclones caused by climate change. This will exacerbate the already high cost incurred ...
Risk-Based Assessment of Sustainability and Hazard Resistance of Structural Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Loss Estimation of Light-Frame Wood Construction Subjected to Mainshock-Aftershock Sequences
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aftershocks occur following an earthquake of large magnitude (referred to as the mainshock) and cause further damage to buildings that may have sustained damage in the mainshock. In this paper, an object-oriented framework ...
