Asset Risk Management and Resilience for Flood Control, Hydropower, and Waterways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural disasters in the past decade have encouraged agencies responsible for development and maintenance of infrastructure systems toward the accounting of risk and resilience in asset management, buying down risks to ...
Reliability of Linear Systems Subjected to Wind Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Probabilistic models for wind loads are developed and used to estimate the properties of the responses of linear systems. This analysis involves four steps. First, along-wind, across-wind forces, and torque are represented ...
Stochastic Modeling of Geometric Imperfections in Aboveground Storage Tanks for Probabilistic Buckling Capacity Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study develops a methodology to model random geometric imperfections in welded cylindrical aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). Precise modeling of the imperfections in ASTs is important for quantitative assessment of ...
Performance-Based Seismic Design: Avant-Garde and Code-Compatible Approaches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current force-based codes for the seismic design of structures use design spectra and system-specific behavior factors to satisfy one or two predefined structural limit states . In contrast, performance-based seismic design ...
Probabilistic Assessment of Serviceability Limit State of Diaphragm Walls for Braced Excavation in Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Braced excavation systems are commonly required to ensure stability in the construction of basements for shopping malls and underground transportation facilities. For excavations in deposits of soft clays, stiff retaining ...
Discussion of “Climate Impact Risks and Climate Adaptation Engineering for Built Infrastructure” by Mark G. Stewart and Xiaoli Deng
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Design of Geostructural Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper begins with an extensive review of the literature covering the development of design rules for geostructural systems, beginning with traditional global safety factors and developing through partial factors for ...
Effects of Postfailure Material Behavior on System Reliability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the reliability of systems considering the postfailure behavior of their components. The effects of system modeling type, correlation among the resistances of the components, coefficients of variation ...
Efficient Approach for the Reliability-Based Design of Linear Damping Devices for Seismic Protection of Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an efficient reliability-based methodology for the seismic design of viscous/viscoelastic dissipative devices in independent and/or coupled buildings. The proposed methodology is consistent with modern ...
Uncertainty Quantification of State Estimation in Nonlinear Structural Systems with Application to Seismic Response in Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the application of Bayesian filtering for the estimation and uncertainty quantification of interstory drifts and shears in partially instrumented buildings. We investigate the performance of four Bayesian ...
