Probabilistic Analysis of Tunnel Roof Deflection under Sequential Excavation Using ANN-Based Monte Carlo Simulation and Simplified Reliability Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tunnel roof deflection is an important measure to control the safety of excavation activity, especially for large-section tunnels using the sequential construction method. A three-dimensional (3D) model of a sequential ...
Response Determination of Nonlinear Systems with Singular Matrices Subject to Combined Stochastic and Deterministic Excitations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A new technique is proposed for determining the response of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems with singular parameter matrices subject to combined stochastic and deterministic excitations. Singular matrices in the ...
On the Hole Effect in Soil Spatial Variability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A hole-effect autocorrelation function is one that is non-monotonic or pseudo-periodic as defined in the geostatistics literature. This paper shows that such an autocorrelation function (ACF) can influence the probability ...
Reliability-Based Robust Design of Raft Foundation and Effect of Spatial Variability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Geotechnical design considers different limit states of design. Conventional deterministic design methodology uses the factor of safety approach, while reliability-based design and robust design methodology use probability ...
Reliability of Steel-Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The reliability of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns strengthened with externally bonded, steel-fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP) fabric subjected to blast loads was investigated. Columns were modeled with a nonlinear ...
Application of Risk-Informed Validation Framework to a Flooding Scenario
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent years, the use of advanced simulation tools for modeling the behavior of flooding at a nuclear power plant has gained significant importance. The credibility of advanced simulation codes is assessed using formal ...
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Andalusian Dams in Southern Spain Using New Seismogenic Zones
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The importance of developing accurate seismic analysis for dams becomes crucial, especially in active seismic zones. In this research, a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for 48 Spanish dams in the Andalusian ...
A Probabilistic Risk Assessment Approach for Surface Settlement Caused by Metro Tunnel Construction Using Credal Network
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The epistemic uncertainty of geological condition, hydrological condition, and human factors causes the risk assessment result of metro construction to be imprecise. To reveal the epistemic uncertainty, a probabilistic ...
Fuzzy-Logistic Models for Incorporating Epistemic Uncertainty in Bridge Management Decisions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many bridge management systems (BMSs) plan future maintenance and inspection based on deterioration models derived from probabilistic analysis of field inspection data. Such analysis considers the aleatoric but not the ...
Modified Best-Selection Method for Bridge Live-Load Model Development
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the expanding availability of high-fidelity weigh-in-motion (WIM) data in recent years, various local agencies have modified bridge design and rating procedures to best reflect state-specific traffic loads. However, ...
