A Probabilistic Framework for Resilience Quantification of Residential Building Portfolios Exposed to Tropical Cyclone Winds
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Residential buildings in coastal areas often suffer from dramatic cyclone-induced damages. Resilience analysis is a powerful tool to quantify the object’s (e.g., a building portfolio’s) ability to withstand disruptive ...
Rainfall-Induced Probability of Failure in Spatially Variable Soil Slopes and a Case Study of the Konkan Railway Slope Failure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A novel framework was developed for the stability analysis of spatially variable slopes under rainfall by approximating the performance function in standard normal space by a second-order surface at the design point. ...
Simulation Study of the Damage Effect of Tandem Warhead on Concrete Target
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The process of a concrete target subjected to a tandem warhead was studied by means of field testing and numerical simulation. First, field testing of a shaped charge impacting the concrete target was carried out, in which ...
Ship Behavior Pattern Analysis Based on Multiship Encounter Detection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Maritime accidents have become a major threat to societal safety and environmental protection, especially in complex navigable waters with high traffic density and diverse ship behaviors. To achieve effective safety control ...
Analytical Nonstationary Response of Linear Stochastic MDOF Systems Endowed with Half-Order Fractional Derivative Elements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method for obtaining analytical solutions for the nonstationary response of multidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems endowed with half fractional derivative elements and subjected to external ...
Numerical Investigation of Soil–Rock Mixture Landslide Runout by Random Field and Finite Elements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To explore the entire runout process of a soil–rock mixture (SRM) slope triggered by an earthquake, large deformation finite element (LDFE) analyses combing two-phase random media are conducted. The feasibility and reliability ...
Employing an Interpretive Structural Modeling–System Dynamics Approach for Deep Foundation Pit Risk Assessment Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deep foundation construction is characterized by significant unpredictability and growing uncertainty, which creates dynamic risks. Given that deep foundation construction is vulnerable to extreme weather conditions and ...
Analysis of Firewater Accumulation and the Securing of Vehicles on ROPAX Vessels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: During the process of firefighting on the vehicle deck of a roll on/roll off cargo and passenger (ROPAX) vessel, firewater accumulation and cargo shift can lead to the unexpected and rapid worsening of the situation. This ...
Distributionally Robust Budget Allocation for Earthquake Risk Mitigation in Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Destructive earthquakes are rare, high-impact, uncertain events. When they occur, the physical infrastructure is damaged, resulting in major economic losses. Risk mitigation planning aims to prevent extreme adverse effects ...
Sustainable and Resilient Engineering for Facade Design under Uncertainty in the Tropics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traditional facade design practices are mostly based on the designers’ intuition or a single performance criterion such as U- and g-values, which only describe a single facade property. However, facade optimal design in ...
