An efficient approach to reliability-based topology optimization of continuum structures with multimodal distributions
(2023)Reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) considering uncertainties has attracted great attention recently. In practical applications, some random variables follow multimodal distributions, thus, RBTO with multimodal ... -
An efficient strategy for reliability-based design optimization of linear structural dynamic systems by the cross-entropy method
(2023)Engineering structures should be designed to minimize construction costs and maintain safety. Structural performance can be seldomly characterized deterministically, as many parameters, such as the material properties, ... -
An extended stratified sampling approach for probabilistic performance assessment of structures under wind and seismic hazards
(2023)Risk-based decision-making for the assessment and design of the built environment against natural hazards is fast gaining recognition not just for critical structures but also for engineered structures in general. ... -
An Integrated Framework for Wildfire Evacuation in a Damaged Transportation Network
(2023)The severity and duration of wildfires are anticipated to rise as a result of climate change and suppression efforts. As more people are moving to the wildland-urban interface, wildfire activity poses an even greater threat ... -
Applicability of meta-model assisted reliability assessment for dynamic problems: a comparison between regression-based methods
(2023)There is a growing intent among engineers, stakeholders, and decision makers to use probabilistic methods for infrastructure assessment or design objectives. However, the corresponding limit state for such problems usually ... -
Applicability of Point Load Approximation to Traffic Load Estimation
(2023)There is a growing demand to efficiently and accurately determine the axle weights of vehicles passing over bridges for the purpose of evaluating bridge health and for use in traffic control. The existing method for ... -
Application of a decision sensitivity measure for the cost-benefit analysis of flood polders along the Bavarian Danube
(2023)The use of sensitivity measures to quantify the relative importance of model inputs and to assess the effect of uncertainties is an important part of risk analyses in engineering. In risk analysis, models serve to support ... -
Application of MCMC samplers with replica exchange and Russian Roulette in estimating structural reliability via importance sampling.
(2023)Rapid changes in performance function values near regions of failure, the presence of multiple failure regions of importance, and several disconnected failure regions separated by large regions of safety can pose substantial ... -
Application of Statistical Method on Field Pile Loading Test Result Analysis
(2023)Most geotechnical engineering issues face great degree of uncertainties since it studies a natural material - soils and rocks. So the analysis of data obtained from field tests requires intensive data processing in order ... -
Application of structural reliability methods for the safety assessment of autonomous vehicles
(2023)Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) see a constantly growing attention by researchers and industries as more and more vehicles are equipped with such technology. It is generally expected to see first Automated Driving ... -
Applied Joint Probabilistic Modeling of Compound Coastal Flood Hazard: An Extension of the Joint Probability Method with Optimal Sampling
(2023)Compound coastal flooding i.e. coastal flooding driven by storm surge, rainfall, and riverine dynamics poses a significant and complex hazard. We present a novel framework for statistical modeling of this hazard as applied ... -
Approximate Bayesian Computation considering Summary Statistics for Parameter Identification in Computational Mechanics
(2023)Computational mechanics offers the possibility to construct numerical models that simulate the behavior of real-world engineering systems. These numerical models usually depend on a series of parameters such as material ... -
Approximate WPI based Survival Probability Determination of Nonlinear Oscillator under Combined Excitation
(2023)An analytical method for determining stochastic response and survival probability of nonlinear oscillators subjected to combined evolutionary nonstationary excitation and periodic excitation is developed. This is done by ... -
Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twin for Railway Bridge Structural Health Monitoring
(2023)The purpose of this paper is to present some preliminary results obtained from the application of a dedicated Artificial Intelligence-based monitoring software to an OpenSees numerical model of a railway bridge to assess ... -
Assesing the Impact of Smart Initial Response Strategies on the Resilience in Complex Systems
(2023)During an emergency, the initial response and especially the identification of the damage in a complex engineered system is critical for the maintenance of the entire systemメs performance and operation. Simultaneously, ... -
Assessing Environmental Impact of Earthquake-Induced Damage for an Italian Case-study Building
(2023)This study assesses environmental impacts due to the repair of earthquake-induced damage considering an old reinforced concrete (RC) frame representative of those built in Italy before the 1970s. Such impacts, expressed ... -
Assessing the vulnerability of a Dutch river dyke to rising water levels
(2023)Dykes provide protection from the risk of flooding to approximately 60% of the Netherlands, by area. Unfortunately, most of the countryメs major cities lie within this zone, placing a large proportion of the population at ... -
Assessment of effect on climate change on structural behaviour of corroded sheet-piles in harbors
(2023)Corrosion and water level affect the reliability of metal structures in the marine environment reducing their service capacity. This phenomenon can be accentuated by the presence of microorganisms which act directly or ... -
Assessment of onshore wind turbine fatigue damage subjected to tropical cyclone
(2023)Tropical cyclones (TCs) affect structures and infrastructure systems. They can cause low-cycle high amplitude stress for onshore and offshore structures, such as wind turbines (WTs). This study aims to evaluate the impact ... -
Assessment of tsunami damage to buildings in resilient Byblos City and uncertainty considerations
