Reliability approach for safe designing on a locking system [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this work is to predict the failure probability of a locking system. This failure probability is assessed using complementary methods: the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Second-Order Reliability Method (SORM) as approximated methods,

Fragility assessment of tunnels in soft soils using artificial neural networks
Underground Space, 2022 Recent earthquakes have shown that tunnels are prone to damage, posing a major threat to safety and having major cascading and socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, reliable models are needed for the seismic fragility assessment of underground structures and

Seismic probabilistic risk assessment and its application to utility safety decisions [PDF]
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1989 Abstract The lack of complete field data, the current vague knowledge about the physical phenomena during and after an earthquake, and the extensive use of judgment have created several problem areas in the seismic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA).
