AbstractThe reduced damage and residual deformations of rocking systems make them efficient for designing resilient buildings for earthquakes. This paper presents a design approach for multiple-rocking coupled self-centering concentrically braced…
AbstractValue-at-risk (VAR) is an indispensable part of a disaster risk assessment of historical buildings. Indicator-based value framework can provide a consistent and comparative method to assess the VAR of historical…
AbstractSeismic probabilistic risk assessment requires explicit consideration and quantification of all sources of uncertainty. Although uncertainties in earthquakes and basic material properties, such as nominal concrete compressive strength, strain at…
AbstractAn innovative numerical model called the Modified Two-Component Pressure Approach (MTPA) is proposed to better capture the physics of column separation in conduit systems. Based on the Two-Component Pressure Approach…
AbstractIn this paper, the feasibility of using siliceous sandstone aggregate in porous asphalt mixture porous asphalt concrete (PAC)-16 was studied. The gradations of siliceous sandstone and limestone PAC-16 mixtures were…
AbstractMoving Ahead for Progress in the Twenty-First Century (MAP-21) requires US state highway agencies (SHA) to utilize performance-based approaches in their pavement management decision-making processes, and use of a remaining…
Video wall technology is one of the best effective ways to connect to your customers and create an immersive and exciting experience. Interactive video walls create an impactful format by…
AbstractWater storage reservoirs can be either sustainable or exhaustible. In the absence of sediment management, reservoir storage is an exhaustible resource with long-term consequences. Previous economic planning of reservoirs essentially…
AbstractSurface wave testing is a powerful tool for noninvasive seismic site characterization. It includes a wide variety of active-source and passive-wavefield methods [e.g., spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW), multichannel analysis…
AbstractThis paper outlines a decision-support model based on Evidential Reasoning (ER) and Cost–Benefit-Analysis (CBA) to support the assessment of risk control measures for pipeline loss of containment following third party…
