RISSimulation of Crowd Evacuation under Toxic Gas Incident Considering Emotion Contagion and Information Transmission
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Evacuation can be the most necessary and effective method to save human lives in emergency scenarios due to natural or human-caused disasters. The emergency egress behavior of humans is not only affected by damage caused ...
Resilience Modeling of Interdependent Traffic-Electric Power System Subject to Hurricanes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Highly interconnected critical infrastructure systems (CISs) are the backbone of the well-being of the modern societies. It is crucial to account for the interdependencies among CISs in assessing the community resilience. ...
Systemic Estimation of Dam Overtopping Probability: Bayesian Networks Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dam overtopping is one of the major causes of dam breach accidents. Many studies have focused on the estimation of dam overtopping probability. However, the occurrence of a dam overtopping incident is subject to many factors ...
Predicting the Bounds of Vehicle-Induced Bridge Responses Using the Interval Analysis Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method for predicting the bounds of vehicle-induced bridge responses with uncertain bridge and vehicle parameters is presented. The uncertainties in the parameters of the bridge and vehicle are represented with interval ...
Predicting the Bounds of Vehicle-Induced Bridge Responses Using the Interval Analysis Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method for predicting the bounds of vehicle-induced bridge responses with uncertain bridge and vehicle parameters is presented. The uncertainties in the parameters of the bridge and vehicle are represented with interval ...
Underwater Explosion Resistance Performance of an Old Gravity Dam without Good Longitudinal-Joint Connection Integrity: Coupled Acoustic-Structural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A gravity dam monolith bounded by the transverse contraction joints on both sides is usually recognized as an independent element in various dynamic analyses. However, in most cases a gravity dam monolith is actually ...
State-of-the-Art Review of Dynamic Impact Factors of Highway Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dynamic impact of moving vehicles on bridges is an important and long-standing issue in the design and evaluation of bridges and has received much attention from researchers and engineers. The use of the dynamic impact ...
Blasting Damage Depth in Layered Jointed Basalt before and after Grouting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compares blasting damage depth in layered jointed basalt before and after grouting. First, a method of determining blasting damage depth in layered jointed basalt is proposed, with a thorough theoretical analysis, ...
Viscous Damping and Contraction Joint Friction in Underwater Explosion Resistant Design of Arch Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of this study is to clarify the parameter-determination issue with regard to the viscous damping and contraction joint friction in the underwater explosion (UNDEX) resistant design of arch dams. A 141-m-high ...
Multiscale Approach and Meso–Macro-Mechanical Analysis of Granular Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A multiscale simulation method for modeling granular materials was proposed in this paper. The key links in this method were analyzed, and the computing framework was constructed. In this multiscale approach, the finite-element ...
