Reliability analysis plays a critical role in the design optimization, operation, and
maintenance of tunnel structures. While classical mechanism models have been …

This paper provides an overview of theories and applications of structural system reliability
(SSR). The paper defines SSR problems and discusses the growing needs for SSR analysis …

To estimate and update the reliability of deteriorating structural systems with inspection and
monitoring results, we develop a modeling and computational framework based on dynamic …

As part of the recent effort to understand the performance capabilities of various engineering
systems from their initial disruptions to the recovery phase, interest in the concept of …

Slope failure mechanisms (eg, why and where slope failure occurs) are usually unknown
prior to slope stability analysis. Several possible failure scenarios (eg, slope sliding along …

In this study, the technical papers on structural condition assessment of aged fixed-type
offshore platforms reported over the past few decades are presented. Other ancillary related …

Abstract System-Reliability-Based Design Optimization (S-RBDO) of structures considering
progressive collapse is a complex problem, as the number of potential failure sequences …

In the field of reliability engineering and systems safety, it is a common challenge to identify
the state of a system with basis in a limited set of observations of system performances …

Due to deep uncertainties associated with climate change and socioeconomic growth,
managing bridge networks faces the challenge to perform optimization for different …

This paper introduces a methodology for developing collapse fragility curves for windstorms,
with a focus on assessing collapse of electrical transmission towers for hurricane events …
