RISProbabilistic 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 ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Frame-Supported Tensile Membrane Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the inherent flexibility of tensile membrane structures (TMS), they need to remain in a stable equilibrium condition in the presence of gusty winds as well as in their absence. This paper is aimed at the reliability-based ...
Risk Assessment for Stream Modification Projects in Urban Settings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The dynamic and stochastic nature of riverine ecosystems creates considerable uncertainty within the practice of stream modification. For streams in urban environments, this uncertainty results in risk to the environment ...
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 ...
Numerical Investigations into the Value of Information in Lifecycle Analysis of Structural Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Preposterior analysis can be used to assess the potential of an experiment to enhance decision-making by providing information on parameters of the decision problem that are surrounded by epistemic uncertainties. The present ...
Empirical Comparison of Two Methods for the Bayesian Update of the Parameters of Probability Distributions in a Two-Level Hybrid Probabilistic-Possibilistic Uncertainty Framework for Risk Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the authors address the issue of updating in a Bayesian framework, the possibilistic representation of the epistemically uncertain parameters of (aleatory) probability distributions, as new information ...
Simplified Seismic Analysis of Disordered Masonry Towers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The structural assessment of existing masonry towers under exceptional loads, such as earthquake loads, requires reliable and expedite methods of analysis. These approaches should take into account both the specific nonlinear ...
Robust Prioritization Framework for Transport Infrastructure Adaptation Investments under Uncertainty of Climate Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To create and sustain resilient infrastructure systems, decision makers must consider a changing climate in their design and maintenance planning. However, significant barriers exist to constrain the understanding and ...
Uncertainty Quantification and Structural Reliability Estimation Considering Inspection Data Scarcity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reliability estimation of aging RC structures under environmental attack involves various sources of uncertainties. In realistic operational conditions, uncertainties due to limited number of experimental data and incomplete ...
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 ...
