Reliability-Based Optimal Design of Steel Box Structures. I: Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A steel box structural design has been traditionally used for bridges and surface marine vessels and is on the basis of engineering experience/judgment and deterministic approaches, such as working stress design. Recent ...
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
Development of Flood Inundation Maps and Quantification of Flood Risk in an Urban Catchment of Brahmaputra River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flood inundation mapping (FIM) is required to understand the affects of flooding in a particular area and on important structures such as roadways, railways, streets, buildings and airport. FIM provides important information, ...
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and Borrowing Strength in Hierarchical Inverse Problems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bayesian approaches to uncertainty quantification and information acquisition in hierarchically defined inverse problems are presented. The techniques comprise simple updating, staged estimation, and multilevel model ...
Prediction of Pipe Failure by Considering Time-Dependent Factors: Dynamic Bayesian Belief Network Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The water supply system (WSS) is a lifeline of the modern city. Transmission and distribution pipes, spatially distributed components of the WSS, are most often vulnerable to failure (leakage, breakage, or burst). Many ...
Implementing the Extended Multivariate Approach in Design with Partial Factors for a Retaining Wall in Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Limitations with the current design using partial factors in Eurocode 7 have been identified. Uncertainties in the material properties are incorporated in both the cautious estimate of the characteristic value and the ...
Sources of Uncertainty in Site Characterization and Their Impact on Geotechnical Reliability-Based Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Different variabilities and uncertainties (e.g., inherent variability, measurement errors, statistical uncertainty, and transformation uncertainty) in site characterization are usually lumped together as total variability ...
Analyzing Impact on Critical Infrastructure Using Input-Output Interdependency Model: Case Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The economic input-output interdependency model is a quick decision tool for stakeholders of critical infrastructure to understand the economic impact of a disruptive event. To demonstrate its applications, two real case ...
