Basis of serviceability limit state target reliability: Fact or fiction?
(2023)Target reliability forms the basis of modern structural design and finds its root in cost optimisation. Ultimate limit state (ULS) target reliability is well-founded and has been extensively researched. Serviceability limit ... -
Bayesian empirical vulnerability modelling for hierarchical levels of damage and loss: Applications to Tsunami Risk Modelling
(2023)Empirical fragility and vulnerability curves express the probabilities of exceeding certain damage and loss levels respectively for given values of intensity measures for specific classes of building or infrastructure. ... -
Bayesian hierarchical modelling of bridge traffic loading across a road network
(2023)The prediction of extreme traffic loading is a crucial part of bridge design and assessment. It provides a basis of how much action, and conversely the strength required for a bridge in its lifetime. However, there remain ... -
Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood Estimation for fitting Distribution Functions of Road Traffic Load Effects
(2023)More and more bridges reach the end of their design life. Traffic loads have changed substantially over the last few decades since the design of these bridges. To prevent unnecessary costs and material use in redesign or ... -
Bayesian neural networks for large-scale infrastructure deterioration models
(2023)State-space models (SSM) have been shown to be effective at modelling structural deterioration of transportation infrastructure based on visual inspections. The SSM approach was recently coupled with kernel regression (KR) ... -
Bayesian Neural Networks for Probabilistic Surrogate Models ヨ Uncertainty Quantification, Propagation, and Sensitivity Analysis
(2023)Neural networks are powerful function approximators which scale to problems having large input dimensionality. Bayesian neural networks are an interesting choice for surrogate models as they (1) natively enable performing ... -
Bayesian Optimization for Intrinsically Noisy Response Surfaces
(2023)While Bayesian optimization (BO) is a well-established method for efficient optimization of deterministic response surfaces that are time intensive to evaluate, its application for the optimization of stochastic response ... -
Bernstein adaptive nonparametric conditional sampling: a new method for rare event probability estimation
(2023)Reliability analysis often requires estimating small failure probabilities, associated with rare events. To overcome their intractable crude Monte Carlo estimation, various techniques have been proposed. Among others, ... -
Bridge abnormality detection utilizing acceleration of a moving vehicle
(2023)Drive-by bridge health monitoring (BHM) method inspecting bridge health condition utilizing measured data on the test vehicle has been investigated. While its great advantage is economy, the challenge of the drive-by BHM ... -
Bridge Network Decisions with Mobile Technology Integration
(2023)The interconnectedness between structural failure probabilities and systemic features is crucial in civil infrastructure safety and integrity assessment in post-disaster applications. The combination of systemic reliability ... -
Calibration of load and resistance factors for the limit state-based assessment of dent-gouge defects on energy pipelines
(2023)Buried oil and gas pipelines are sometimes subjected to mechanical damage resulting from the impact with foreign objects such as excavation equipment or rocks. A severe form of the mechanical damage is the so-called ... -
Calibration of partial factors for actions in the Eurocodes accounting for biases in climatic load maps
(2023)In view of the development of the 2nd generation of structural Eurocodes, a discussion on standard optimization by means of the calibration of partial factors for actions is currently ongoing. In the paper, the calibration ... -
Calibration of partial factors for wind action: an application to the Italian wind climate
(2023)The design of structures to wind actions requires: (1) a wind hazard map providing the characteristic value of the wind speed (or velocity pressure), usually associated with a return period T = 50 yrs; (2) an equation ... -
Case Study in the Application of Probabilistic Framework for Pipeline Failure Estimation due to Landslides
(2023)Landslides pose a significant threat to the loss of containment and failure of buried oil and gas pipelines. As the transmission pipelines traverse diverse terrain, identification of the susceptible regions for landslides ... -
CERCOM - Development of an analytic software tool for the evaluation of innovative infrastructure maintenance methods in the move towards circularity
(2023)Implementation of the circular economy (CE) has the potential to play a significant role in limiting global climate change whilst providing regenerative design for generations to come. To achieve climate neutrality, synergies ... -
Challenges in Model Identification for Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building Accounting for Uncertainties
(2023)In evaluating the performance of a building, it is important to properly treat various types of uncertainties involved in the evaluation process. In the field of performance-based earthquake engineering, several attempts ... -
Climate Change Impact on Urban Resilience under Typhoon Disasters Considering Interdependent Infrastructure Systems
(2023)The functionality of a resilient infrastructure system would be less impacted and quicker recovery under disasters. This study aims to investigate the resilience of a city in Taiwan under typhoon disasters and the potential ... -
Climate Change Impacts on Flood-induced Industrial Building Losses in a Coastal City of Australia
(2023)Buildings in coastal cities of Australia, mostly located in estuarine and deltaic plains, are vulnerable to various types of floods. The adverse effects of flooding could be further exacerbated with global warming and sea ... -
