Abstract: Probabilistic models are proposed for the occurrence, detection, and consequences of human errors in structures. The models are developed in an overall framework of decision theory applied to the problem of allocating ...

Abstract: The design of structures for ice conditions requires knowledge of local ice pressures to allow for appropriate levels of structural strengthening. Full-scale field data are keys to enhancing our ...

Abstract: Ice load estimation is required in the design of ships and offshore structures for arctic and subarctic conditions. This paper focuses on the estimation of local ice pressures. The “event-maximum” ...
