Seismic Reliability-Based Design Versus Safety-Factor Based Design of Shallow Foundations Near a slope [PDF]
In this study, the stability of the foundation near a slope is investigated through a typical example of designing a shallow foundation. Foundation stability is typically evaluated through the bearing capacity’s factor of safety and the reliability of ...

Probabilistic Progressive Collapse Analysis of 3D Steel Moment Frame Using Fragility Curves [PDF]
Previous studies indicate that low-rise buildings are more prone to progressive collapse rather than high-rise ones. In this research, an innovative method of probabilistic analysis of progressive collapse has been applied based on the concept of ...

Analysis of an Approximation Algorithm for Scheduling Independent Parallel Tasks [PDF]
In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling independent parallel tasks in parallel systems with identical processors. The problem is NP-hard, since it includes the bin packing problem as a special case when all tasks have unit execution time. We

Analysis of a probabilistic approach for modelling and assessment of the water quality of rivers
Monitoring the ecological status of water bodies is crucial to guarantee human health and economic development. However, monitoring is often deficient in developing regions due to high installation and maintenance costs, thus it is frequently supported ...

A Priority Queue with Many Customer Types, Correlated Arrivals and Changing Priorities
A single-server queueing system with a finite buffer, several types of impatient customers, and non-preemptive priorities is analyzed. The initial priority of a customer can increase during its waiting time in the queue.
