Optimal risk-based design of bulk water supply systems
… pipe, canal etc.) and a storage facility. Designing bulk water supply systems includes the sizing of these components to ensure a functional system...The study follows the same methods that have been used by researchers at the University of Johannesburg in recent years. A Monte Carlo …

HEAVY TRUCK COLLISION WITH BRIDGE PIERS
<p>Based on bridge failure data compiled by the New York State Department of Transportation, collision, both caused by vessels and vehicles, is the second leading cause of bridge failures after hydraulic. The current AASHTO-LRFD (2017) specification recommends designing a bridge pier vulnerable to …

Probability analysis of slope stability
… to a factor of safety approach to reduce the risk of slope failure. However, the factor of safety approach cannot quantify the probability of failure, or level of risk, associated with a particular design situation.;A probabilistic approach to studying geotechnical issues offers a systematic …

Improving the economic evaluation of flood risk management studies
… for improving the economic evaluation of flood risk management (FRM) studies. The most common types of FRM infrastructure in the United States (U.S.) are dams and levees. The FRM infrastructure in the U.S. is aging with a large number of dams and levees now more than 50 years old and in need of …

Technical management of vlcc/vlbc hull structures based on safety case principles
… critics have complained that the quality of designs for new tonnage and effectiveness of the present control mechanisms governing structural condition for vessels in service, are inadequate. Due to the relatively low safety margins inherent in modern commercial ship structural designs, a …

System importance measures: A new approach to resilient systems-of-systems
… of systems-of-systems make analysis and design of resilience challenging. However, these features also offer opportunities to make SoSs resilient using unconventional methods. In this research, we present a new approach to the process of resilience design. The core idea behind the …

Statistical risk estimation for communication system design
… and multiple relationships among them. The design of a spacecraft is an evolutionary process that starts from requirements and evolves over time. During this process, changes can affect mass and power at component, subsystem, and system level. Each spacecraft has to respect overall …

Fire safety risk model for a main vertical zone of a large passenger ship
… on large passenger ships, by proposing a fire risk model for a MainVertical Zone (MVZ). Historically, fire had and always has been a pressing accidenttype, along with flooding. Despite the regulatory effort, the total loss trend of fire incidents attributes to around 10% of those. Moreover, as …
