Failure probability of regional flood defences

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Polders in the Netherlands are protected from flooding by primary and regional flood defence systems. During the last decade, scientific research in flood risk focused on the development of a probabilistic approach to quantify the probability of flooding

Connections rigidity effect on probability of fracture in steel moment frames [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017
Connections in steel moment frames are idealized in full pinned and full rigid conditions. Because with this assumption, in spite of real behavior of connection, real story drifts are less anticipated and maybe frame is designed without performance of ...

A Review on Local Failure Probability Sensitivity Analysis

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
When assessing the reliability of a system, a mathematical model is often defined to replicate the system’s behavior. The inputs of the system are then gathered into two categories, random inputs and deterministic inputs.

Reliability analysis of bedrock laminar slope stability considering variability of saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil under heavy rainfall

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The saturated permeability coefficient of soil is an inherent variable due to its inhomogeneity and the inaccuracy of monitoring. To explore the stability and failure probability of bedrock laminar slope under heavy rainfall, a reliability analysis model

Estimation of the fatigue life and failure probability of welded joints in the railway bogie frames using the partial safety factor method (JIS B 9955–2017)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2022
The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between the fatigue life under in-service conditions and the failure probability of welded joints in a railway bogie frame.

Assessing Submarine Slope Stability through Deterministic and Probabilistic Approaches: A Case Study on the West-Central Scotia Slope

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
A simplified geostatistical approach was adopted to assess the effect of spatial variability of soil properties on slope stability analysis in order to understand continental margin geologic processes and potential geohazards for an area of the central ...

Bounding Failure Probability with the SIVIA Algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The accuracy of Monte Carlo simulation methods depends on the computational effort invested in reducing the estimator variance. Typically reducing such variance requires invoking Monte Carlo with as many samples as one can afford.

The probability of socket failure.

open access: yes, 2022
The cumulative distribution function, which shows the probability of socket failure, implicitly accounts for methodological differences that exist between studies. The probability of socket failure for 3DS is similar to LCS except at high loads.

Assessing the safety of existing structures: Reliability based assessment framework, examples and application

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2004
Safety, reliability and risk are key issues in the preservation of our built, cultural heritage. Several structural collapses make us aware of the vulnerability of our technical and natural environment and demand an adequate engineering response.
