A Modern Bayesian Approach to Model Updating of Bridges Considering Measurement Uncertainty
(2023)Existing bridges were designed using contemporaneous standards, but increased loading due to increased freight demand must be considered in their ongoing safety management. Finite-Element (FE) modelling provides the ... -
A novel design equation for reinforced concrete columns confined by FRP and steel based on advanced finite element analysis
(2023)Strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally-bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is a widely accepted and used retrofit technique. The FRP encasing increases the vertical load capacity and ductility ... -
A novel end-user-oriented approach to dynamic post-disaster resilience quantification for individual facilities
(2023)Community recovery from a disaster is a complex process, in which the importance of different types of infrastructure functionality can change over time. For instance, sheltering facilities can be critical in the immediate ... -
A parallel Bayesian interval optimization approach for static analysis of structures with interval uncertainties
(2023)This paper aims at approximating the bounds of the static response of structures with interval uncertainties. Such task is often challenging due to the large number of computationally intensive response evaluations required. ... -
A performance-based probabilistic framework to model risk to power systems from hurricanes
(2023)Utility companies are often prepared for small-scale blackouts under normal operating conditions. However, they face crucial challenges with extreme weather events, such as hurricanes. Utilities must make risk-informed ... -
A preliminary methodology for multi-hazard risk assessment of large bridge portfolios using quantitative indicators
(2023)In the last years, several catastrophic collapses of existing bridges have raised growing awareness to the need for structural assessment, health monitoring, and retrofitting by public institutions and infrastructure ... -
A Probabilistic Approach to Estimating Post-disaster Unmet Housing Needs Under Limited Information
(2023)This paper presents a methodology to estimate post-disaster unmet housing needs that is accurate and relies only on data obtained shortly after a disaster. Statistical models for aid distributed by the Federal Emergency ... -
A Probabilistic Framework for Post-Disaster Recovery Modeling of Buildings in Developing Countries
(2023)Post-disaster recovery is a significant challenge, especially in developing countries. As a result of various technical, environmental, socioeconomic, political, and cultural factors influencing post-disaster recovery, ... -
A probabilistic framework for the assessment of bridges for once-off superloads
(2023)The transportation of once-off superloads is often treated using the same reliability levels as for new bridges which experience frequent normal and abnormal traffic loads for a remaining life of 100 years. An example of ... -
A Proposed Fuzzy-based Optimisation Model for Evaluating Construction Projects' Risk Response Strategies
(2023)The aim of this paper is to develop a fuzzy-based optimisation model for selecting the most appropriate construction risk response strategies by surveying construction experts in Iraq. A two-step research methodology was ... -
A Real Time Stochastic Scour Detection For Railway BridgesRIDGES
(2023)This study aims to propose a real-time stochastic scour detection (SSA) of railway bridges by means of ambient vibration monitoring. A remote ambient vibration monitoring system is deployed in a railway bridge to measure ... -
A response spectra based intensity measure for seismic system reliability
(2023)This work studies a newly proposed seismic intensity measure (IM) and evaluates its efficiency and sufficiency with respect to ground motion records and structural response, with the end goal of computing structural system ... -
A review of stochastic live load models for code calibration
(2023)Reliability-based calibration of partial safety factors of structural design codes requires suitable stochastic models for, among others, live loads. These models need to be compatible with the design values and exceedance ... -
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 ... -
