SORM, Design Points, Subset Simulation, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The calculation of failure probabilities is one of the basic problems in structural reliability. But to understand the causes of failure, the pure calculation of probabilities is not sufficient. It is attempted to explain ...
High-Dimensional Uncertainty Quantification in a Hybrid Data + Model-Based Submodeling Method for Refined Response Estimation at Critical Locations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents frameworks to build nonintrusive polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) models with regression and Smolyak sparse-grid quadrature to perform high-dimensional uncertainty propagation and uncertainty quantification ...
Impact of the Change in Topography Caused by Road Construction on the Flood Vulnerability of Mobility on Road Networks in Urban Areas
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In urban watersheds, floods directly affect mobility on road networks. The present study proposes a methodology for analysing the impact of road construction or reconstruction on topography and, ultimately, on causing ...
Revised Comparison of Tunnel Collapse Frequencies and Tunnel Failure Probabilities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Comparison of calculated failure probabilities of technical systems with observed failure frequencies is an important part of the assessment of probabilistic calculations and can point to significant factors that are ...
Random Forest–Based Covariate Shift in Addressing Nonstationarity of Railway Track Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The multimodal transportation network in which freight rail plays an essential role continues to enhance the United States’ contributions in the global market. For years, track geometry defects data have been often gathered ...
Gaussian Process Regression-Based Material Model for Stochastic Structural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Data-driven material models can capture the constitutive relationship directly from the data without involving any material-dependent mathematical expressions. But most data-driven approaches, such as artificial neural ...
Vulnerability Analysis of Interdependent Infrastructure Systems Based on Inoperability Input–Output Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Interdependent infrastructure systems consist of several sectors, including gas, power, transportation, and health systems, and are important in modern societies because they provide essential services for the continuous ...
Gibbs Sampling for Damage Detection Using Complex Modal Data from Multiple Setups
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a novel Gibbs sampling approach for structural health monitoring (SHM) with detection of structural changes/damages using incomplete complex modal data measured with a limited number of sensors. The ...
Sinkhole Susceptibility Hazard Mapping Using Analytical Hierarchy Process and GIS Tools for the State of Kuwait
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sinkhole studies of Kuwait have involved the investigation and risk assessment of sinkholes in specific areas. This study assessed sinkhole hazard susceptibility within the geographic borders of Kuwait by integrating the ...
Research on Freight Train Operation Control Simulation on Long Steep Downhill Lines
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Steep ramps are often unavoidable in route design, leading to adverse effects on freight transportation organization. For operators, how to safely and effectively run trains on steep downhill lines is a challenging task. ...
