Use of the Probability Transformation Method in Some Random Mechanic Problems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work addresses the use of the probability transformation method (PTM) and of some of its extensions for solving mechanical and structural systems for which the response is modeled as random fields or variables that ...
Rank and Linear Correlation Differences in Monte Carlo Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Monte Carlo simulation is used to quantify and characterize uncertainty in a variety of applications, such as cost and engineering economic analysis and project management. The dependence or correlation between the random ...
Reliability-Based Probabilistic Safety Evaluation of Seismic Design Approaches for RC–MR Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study evaluates the seismic safety of reinforced concrete moment-resistant (RC–MR) buildings designed with two different methods, i.e., direct displacement based design (DDBD) and conventional force based design ...
Data Fusion–Based Dynamic Diagnosis for Structural Defects of Shield Tunnel
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A shield tunnel may suffer various structural defects during its operational period. Different factors can contribute to defects on site, such as cracks, spalling, leakage, or offset, and a rational understanding of the ...
Managing Cost Risks: Toward a Taxonomy of Cost Overrun Factors in Building Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Measuring cost variance is indispensable for understanding project status, monitoring the financial risks involved, and improving the project performance. Positive cost variance, denoted as cost overrun, is the key indicator ...
Improvement of Analytic Hierarchy Process Based on Grey Correlation Model and Its Engineering Application
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The complexity of the pairwise comparison process in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the limitation of consistency are challenges that need to be addressed when there are many evaluation factors. An improved AHP ...
Efficient and Comprehensive Time-Dependent Reliability Analysis of Complex Structures by a Parameter State Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A major challenge in a time-dependent reliability analysis is to find a good balance between computational effort, accuracy, and comprehension of the analysis. In this contribution, computational efforts are reduced, and ...
Dysfunctionality Hazard Curve: Risk-Based Tool to Support the Resilient Design of Systems Subjected to Multihazards
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: While resilience metrics have been proposed and studied given a functionality recovery curve, they have not emphasized enough on accounting for the uncertainties in multihazard occurrences and intensities. Moreover, these ...
Failure Sampling with Optimized Ensemble Approach for Structural Reliability Analysis of Complex Problems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Failure sampling is a structural reliability method based on modified conditional expectation suitable for complex problems for which reliability index–based approaches are inapplicable and simulation is needed. Such ...
Risk-Based Fatigue Design Considering Inspections and Maintenance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The different phases of a structure’s life-cycle are managed by different teams with little interaction. Correspondingly, the optimization of the individual phases is isolated and does not necessarily result in optimal ...
