The optimal decisions to maintain or improve the reliability and functionality of structures and
infrastructure systems can only be achieved through proper integrated management …

Structural risk assessment against fire requires robust material models that take into account
the uncertainty in material behavior over a range of elevated temperatures. Such …

Even if previous studies investigated seismic fragility of existing bridges, some recent
collapse cases set the need to investigate their vulnerability under gravity loads. In this …

A novel computational model is proposed in this paper considering reliability analysis in the
modelling of reinforced concrete beams at elevated temperatures, by assuming that …

Although advances in piling equipment and technologies have extended the global use of
stabilizing piles (to stabilize slope or landslide), the design of stabilizing piles remains a …

This second edition combines an explanation of background theory with a step-by-step
guide on the analysis of common bridge forms. It includes practical examples of everyday …

Columns are the key load-bearing elements in frame structures and exterior columns are
probably the most vulnerable structural components to terrorist attack. In this paper, a spatial …

Due to the uncertainties raised by model error, materials (eg, concrete, fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) and steel) and environment (eg, loads), research aimed at reliability analysis …

A changing climate which leads to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and
changes in temperature and relative humidity (RH), especially in the longer term, will …

Risk analyses addressing consequences of progressive collapse have shown that, due to
the small probabilities of element loss due to abnormal loads, structural strengthening for …
