Validating the current state-of-practice for seismic risk (and resilience) analysis
(2023)Regional risk analysis provides information for decisions made by communities, state and federal agencies, and the insurance industry. Model validation and updating are crucial since inaccurate predictions may lead to ... -
Value of more accurate urban weather prediction in the day-ahead energy market
(2023)Urban heat significantly influences human comfort and leads to additional energy use for space-cooling in built environments. The building sector has a high potential for cost savings and emission reduction by improving ... -
Volume effects in glued laminated timber beams
(2023)This paper discusses several aspects related to volume effects on glued laminated timber (GLT) beams, with focus on the combined effects of height and length on the bending strength. Challenges related to the prediction ... -
Vulnerabilities in Water Distribution Systems Using N-k Contingency Analysis
(2023)Adequate performance of water distribution systems is at the core of community resilience. Water distribution systems are vulnerable to a variety of hazards, as they are susceptible to direct physical damage (e.g., ... -
Vulnerability Assessment of Infrastructure Networks Following Earthquakes: The Fundamental Step to Assess Network Resilience and Functional Recovery
(2023)Disruptive events can result in devastating damage and interruptions in distributed infrastructure networks (e.g., Transportation network), affecting the lives and wellbeing of communities that rely on their functionality. ... -
Wilting rationalism in technical decision making
(2023)Decision makers in diverse engineering disciplines, ranging from technical risk analysis and design to the development of risk-informed policies that impact on technology and society, benefit from the existence of a solid ... -
Workflow-induced uncertainty in probabilistic landslide hazard maps
(2023)Increasing complexity and capacity of computational physics-based landslide run-out modelling over the last few years yielded highly efficient model-based decision support tools, e.g. landslide susceptibility or run-out ...
