Discussion of “<i>Limit State Probabilities for Wood Structural Members</i>” by Erik M. Hendrickson, Bruce Ellingwood, and Joseph Murphy (January, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 1)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Practical Resilience Metrics for Planning, Design, and Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural disasters in 2011 alone resulted in $366 billion (2011 US$) in direct damages and 29,782 fatalities worldwide. Storms and floods accounted for up to 70% of the 302 natural disasters worldwide, with earthquakes ...
Introduction to the Aims and Scope of the Journal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Electricity System Assessment and Adaptation to Rising Temperatures in a Changing Climate Using Washington Metro Area as a Case Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Increasing temperatures due to global climate change and the urban heat island effect pose a rising threat to the reliability and security of energy systems. To support climate preparedness and resilience planning for the ...
Time-Dependent Resilience of Repairable Structures Subjected to Nonstationary Load and Deterioration for Analysis and Design
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Civil structures and infrastructures are often subjected by design to the impacts of natural and human-caused hazardous events, and accordingly may suffer from damages, functionality loss, and failure. In order to ...
Practical Structural Reliability Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Commonly‐used structural reliability models are reviewed, and the advantages and limitations of each method are discussed with the help of a practical example. A pressure vessel is designed against wind loading. This example ...
Sustainability Quantification and Valuation. II: Probabilistic Framework and Metrics for Sustainable Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Sustainability Quantification and Valuation. I: Definitions, Metrics, and Valuations for Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
A Reliability-Based Expression of ASME B&PV Code Equation (11) for Class 2 and 3 Nuclear Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous research provided a reliability-based approach for the low-cycle fatigue design of Class 2 and 3 nuclear pipes. Reliability-based equations incorporate a threshold for the piping reliability ...
Posttensioned Trusses: Reliability and Redundancy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study demonstrates the potential of posttensioning truss bridges. Posttensioning deficient truss bridges using different posttensioning tendon layouts can be a cost‐effective method to strengthen them and to increase ...
