Engineering Risk Analysis and Decision for Communities Facing Natural Hazards: A Talk in Four Parts
(2023)This presentation is the culmination of a decade of research on the technological and social aspects of decision-making for the consideration of natural hazards in communities. It covers four different aspects, and as such, ... -
Critical Infrastructure Resilience in the PRECINCT Project
(2023)The PRECINCT project brings together Critical Infrastructure owners and authorities from four �Living Lab� cities throughout Europe. These Living Labs then operate as a coordinated precinct responding to the various ... -
New insights for chemical-physical processes from analysis of observations using extreme value probability distributions
(2023)Conventional extreme value (EV) theory has the Gumbel EV distribution as the theoretically correct distribution to represent the maximum depth of corrosion pits. It has long been used for prediction of the probability of ... -
Disaster Resilience Management of Civil Infrastructure Systems based on Reliability, Redundancy, and Recoverability
(2023)As the complexity of civil infrastructure systems is ever-increasing amid various uncertainties, their resilience against natural and human-made disasters should be managed based on a holistic understanding of the systemsメ ... -
Physically driven full probabilistic uncertainty propagation in complex nonlinear structures
(2023)The safety and reliability evaluation of complex engineering structures under dynamic loading conditions has long been a challenging problem. The coupling of nonlinearity and randomness in high-dimensional or large-degre ... -
Empirical distributions of traffic loads from one year of weigh-in-motion data
(2023)In the state-of-the-art of structural engineering the actions for design or assessment of bridges should derive from a probabilistic (i.e., frequentist) characterization of the loads. Data from weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems ... -
Structural management and Value of Information analysis accounting for sensor data quality
(2023)Structural health monitoring (SHM) can be used to assess the state of health of civil structures and infrastructures and acquire information that can support maintenance-related activities and post-disaster emergency ... -
Bayesian Neural Networks for Probabilistic Surrogate Models ヨ Uncertainty Quantification, Propagation, and Sensitivity Analysis
(2023)Neural networks are powerful function approximators which scale to problems having large input dimensionality. Bayesian neural networks are an interesting choice for surrogate models as they (1) natively enable performing ... -
Recent advances in the fatigue design of steel bridges submitted to aleatory traffic loads
(2023)This work presents recent developments in the fatigue design of bridges submitted to aleatory traffic loads. The purpose is to perform fatigue design according to Eurocode fatigue model 5 but replacing real-life measurements ... -
Complete decoupled adaptive robust design optimization
(2023)Robust design optimization (RDO) can provide an optimum design solution that is relatively insensitive to input uncertainties, thus possesses significant value in the design of engineering structures. Generally, the RDO ... -
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 ... -
Information Avoidance in multi-agent systems
(2023)This paper introduces a framework of assessing the Value of Information (VoI) for systems managed by multiple agents. The system is composed of some binary components, each managed by one agent. Each agent can decide to ... -
Sequential decision making in infrastructure planning under uncertain climate change predictions
(2023)Engineering decisions, as those related to infrastructure planning, face challenges due to the uncertain climate change predictions. Instead of a rigid planning scheme, an alternative is to utilize an adaptive framework, ... -
Network Analysis of Systems of Systems Models for Complex Infrastructure Systems
(2023)Complex infrastructure systems, such as transportation and communication networks, consist of many interconnected and interdependent elements that exhibit behavior that is difficult to predict. Researchers have developed ... -
CERCOM - Development of an analytic software tool for the evaluation of innovative infrastructure maintenance methods in the move towards circularity
(2023)Implementation of the circular economy (CE) has the potential to play a significant role in limiting global climate change whilst providing regenerative design for generations to come. To achieve climate neutrality, synergies ... -
Uncertainty in Bridge Mode Shapes Based on Accelerometer Location
(2023)In Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), modal analysis of a bridge structure is commonly used to aid in understanding the vibration characteristics of the structure under various loading conditions. These modal analyses are ... -
Coastal protection strategies to minimize transportation network disruption from sea level rise
(2023)As sea levels rise, there has been an increase in research focused on the protection of shoreline infrastructure and transportation systems that may increasingly suffer from permanent capacity and accessibility reduction. ... -
Sustainable Upgrading of Existing Bridges by Reliability-Based Assessment
(2023)This paper presents recent applications of the Danish guideline for reliability-based assessment for existing bridges, resulting in a traffic load upgrade of up to 60%. The guideline reflects a commitment to consider ... -
Guideline for Reliability-Based Classification of Existing Bridges
(2023)This paper presents the newly updated Danish guideline for reliability-based classification of existing bridges published by the Danish Road Directorate in 2023. The update of the guideline reflects the commitment to ... -
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 ...
