A Serious Game Conceptual Approach to Protect Critical Infrastructure Resilience in Smart Cities
(2023)Smart cities have become the most popular concept to manage assets and resources in the growing urban environment. To achieve sustainable city development in smart cities, it is imperative that smart development combined ... -
A simple formula for time-dependent seismic reliability assessment of aging structures
(2023)The capacity deterioration of structures over time may impair their seismic structural reliability significantly, and thus should be taken into account when assessing their seismic performance. In this paper, a simple ... -
A simplified framework for reliability assessment of prestressed concrete bridge girders under travelling loads in dynamic regime
(2023)Assessing the reliability of prestressed bridge girders is paramount to keeping transportation infrastructure functional. Classical structural reliability assessment requires computing the demand and capacity of the ... -
A Stable Method for Time-dependent Reliability Analysis
(2023)The problem of time-dependent reliability arises in engineering practice due to the degradation of structural material properties over time and the involvement of time-dependent loads. For time-dependent reliability analysis ... -
A theoretical model of lateral coherence in isotropic turbulence based on stochastic Fourier wave-number spectrum
(2023)With the development of measuring instruments and the study of turbulence theory, the field measurement of wind field has become increasingly accurate and refined. Thus, these improvements provide us with a new perspective ... -
A value of information framework for quantifying the value of reliability assessment for a steel railway truss bridge
(2023)Infrastructure is frequently subject to various loading and environmental stressors that cause degradation of its performance with time. Management of such degrading infrastructure is conditioned upon its estimated ... -
Active learning for structural reliability analysis with multiple limit state functions through variance-enhanced PC-Kriging surrogate models
(2023)Structural reliability analysis of multi-physics engineering systems can be efficiently implemented through actively trained surrogate models, which often profit from the probabilistic advantageous attributes offered by ... -
Active learning-based structural design optimization under constraints on first-passage probability
(2023)In efforts to manage the risk of unexpected failures caused by stochastic loads, the first-passage probability, i.e., the probability that the maximum structural response over a given time interval exceeds a prescribed ... -
Active-learning-based system reliability analysis with budget constraints
(2023)Ensuring the safety of structures is a crucial task in engineering design. Structural reliability analysis provides practitioners with tools to estimate the probability of failure of various engineering systems. Failure ... -
Adaptable robust traffic signal control for urban road networked systems with uncertain capacity
(2023)In order to effectively mitigate congestion and propagate uncertainty in road networked systems, a robust signal control with adaption to traffic dynamics is presented. A Stochastic Traffic Model (STM) is introduced to ... -
Adaptation of residential houses to increasing wind hazard under climate change
(2023)Adaptation to climate change has become a central issue all over the world. Japan is facing increasing wind damage to residential houses due to the impacts of more frequent intensified typhoons. However, the adaptation of ... -
Adaptive importance sampling for efficient probabilistic storm surge estimation
(2023)During landfalling tropical storms, probabilistic predictions of the storm surge constitute important products for guiding emergency response decisions. The probabilistic formulation for these predictions is established ... -
Adaptive Learning for Surrogate Models in Active Subspace for High Dimensional Problems
(2023)Surrogate models are often employed in engineering analysis to replace a detailed model with complicated geometry, loading, material properties and boundary conditions, in order to achieve computational efficiency in ... -
Addressing the pitfalls of risk-based methods for fire safety design of structures
(2023)Risk-based design and assessment methods are gaining popularity in the context of performance-based structural fire engineering. Nevertheless, they often ignore that there exists a strong dependency between the combustion ... -
Advancements and challenges in direct loss-based seismic design
(2023)Provisions in seismic design codes generally focus on collapse prevention or life safety for major, rare earthquakes while damage prevention for minor, frequent ones. The evolution of theoretical knowledge, modelling ... -
AI/ML-assisted analysis of the IABSE bridge collapse database
(2023)Former statistical analyses of bridge collapse data show that concrete bridges collapse significantly less frequently than bridges made of steel or wood. Since the main causes of bridge collapses worldwide are floods and ... -
Alternative Risk Metrics to Evaluate Tradeoffs between Efficiency and Equity of Risk Reduction
(2023)A common criticism of traditional benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is that benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) are reductive, in the sense that they aggregate all benefits and costs into a scalar value; decision rules that aim to maximize ... -
An Adaptive Dynamic Downscaling Strategy to Obtain Real-time Multi-resolution Wind-field during Evolving Tropical Cyclones to Support Real-Time Risk Forecast of Powerlines
(2023)Tropical cyclone (TC) induced high winds often cause significant damages to powerline systems and lead to widespread power failure and socio-economic losses. Meteorological numerical weather prediction during an evolving ... -
An Assessment of the Suitability of Scour Estimation Methodologies for a Northern Ireland Scour Risk Assessment
