The utilization of risk acceptance criteria (RAC) can help a business to judge whether the
risk level concerning any process involved in its working environment is acceptable or not …

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to determine target reliability index based on
modeling performance degradation of concrete structures as a stochastic process. First, the …

Historical quay walls constructed in unreinforced masonry are integral elements of many
cities. Originally designed as gravity retaining walls, they are nowadays often subjected to …

The assessment of service-proven quay walls subject to corrosion-induced degradation is
inherently a time-dependent reliability problem. Two major challenges are the modelling of …

By using the centrifuge test and three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) simulation with
an advanced soil constitutive model, this study investigated the suitability and reinforcement …

A structural element failure probability (as a structural reliability measure) is an indicator of
the structural safety. Approaches for structural reliability analysis with incomplete statistical …

Spatial variability and limited measurements often result in low reliability estimates of
geotechnical failure modes of dikes (ie, earthen flood defences). Required dike …

There is a number of ports where approach or inside navigation channels are located close
to the quay walls. In difficult hydrometeorological conditions appropriate speed of ship is …

In this research, the potential benefits of using various structural types of cemented soil,
including block-type, column-type, and wall-type, to reinforce the active zone behind a quay …

This paper presents the risk identification process, a checklist of 215 different risks, and an
associated risk breakdown structure (RBS) for the design and construction phases for a …
