In this study, a two-step approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) updating framework using dynamic response data is developed. In this framework, the E......
For large-span hybrid roof structures, the construction uncertainties of cable tension usually have significant influences on the roof's mechanical pe......
Interdependent infrastructure systems consist of several sectors, including gas, power, transportation, and health systems, and are important in moder......
A shield tunnel may suffer various structural defects during its operational period. Different factors can contribute to defects on site, such as crac......
The uninterrupted performance of the infrastructure systems of a community is essential to its welfare and prosperity. Infrastructure assets are conti......
Civil infrastructure may degrade due to the adverse effects of continuous damage (e.g., reinforcement corrosion) and sudden shocks (e.g., earthquakes)......
Piping is a common phenomenon of seepage failure in underground space construction. Efforts have been made in understanding the mechanism of piping du......
In situ soil properties exhibit spatial variability, which is often described using a three-dimensional (3D) random field. With site investigations, s......
The premovement time has been considered a critical factor of safety in building fire evacuations because the casualty of fire disasters is strongly a......
The complexity of the pairwise comparison process in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the limitation of consistency are challenges that need t......
The probability density distribution of soil parameters is of ultimate importance in reliability analysis of a geotechnical structure. Constructing th......
Knowledge of the uniaxial compressive responses of rock mass is crucial for evaluating the stability of rock pillar in underground engineering. The in......
The conventional sparse grid (SG) integration method treats all considered random variables equally for the numerical integration of performance funct......
Steep ramps are often unavoidable in route design, leading to adverse effects on freight transportation organization. For operators, how to safely and......
