Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the crucial need for fully quantitative risk assessment of large‐scale structures, their performance is typically assessed through deterministic or semi‐quantitative approaches. The main preventing factor is the computational burden of probabilistic seismic analyses.

Two-Piece Multivariate lognormal distribution [PDF]
, 2014 We have extended the univariate bilognormal distribution to two piece multivariate lognormal distribution. The density function of two piece multivariate lognormal distribution is given and the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters when the ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

Bayesian Inference for Median of the Lognormal Distribution [PDF]
, 2016 Lognormal distribution has many applications. The past research papers concentrated on the estimation of the mean of this distribution. This paper develops credible interval for the median of the lognormal distribution. The estimated coverage probability

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scaling geological CO2 storage requires simultaneously controlling plume migration, pressure buildup, geomechanical integrity, and monitoring cost under deep subsurface uncertainty. Yet early‐stage assessments often treat these elements in isolation, obscuring the decision‐critical couplings between pressure‐defined regulatory exposure and ...

Nonparametric Regression for Cost‐Effectiveness Analyses With Observational Data—A Tutorial
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Healthcare decision‐making often requires selecting among multiple treatment options under budget constraints, particularly when one option is more effective but also more costly. Cost‐effectiveness analysis (CEA) provides a framework for evaluating whether the health benefits of a treatment justify its additional costs.

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.Abstract We analyze farmer willingness to accept (WTA) voluntary Payment for Ecosystem Services contracts in North Carolina's Tar‐Pamlico watershed using a discrete choice experiment. Contract attributes include nitrogen application limits, cover crop requirements, funding source, and payment levels.
