Classical Extreme Value Theory-the asymptotic distributional theory for maxima of
independent, identically distributed random variables-may be regarded as roughly half a …

This important book provides an up-to-date comprehensive and down-to-earth survey of the
theory and practice of extreme value distributions? one of the most prominent success …

ASCE Standard 7,“Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures,” has
contained provisions for load combinations and load factors suitable for load and resistance …

Commonly-used structural reliability models are reviewed, and the advantages and
limitations of each method are discussed with the help of a practical example. A pressure …

The diversity of structural systems that are sensitive to the effects of wind coupled with the
increasing need to improve the performance of constructed facilities has placed a growing …

Snow loads for structural design are calculated as the product of the ground snow load and
a snow load coefficient that transforms the ground load to a roof load. This paper presents a …

In this study, extreme wind speeds were estimated from the Korea wind map in order to
ensure the structural safety of wind turbines. Fifteen major wind farm sites in Korea were …

In this first part of a two-part paper, the statistics of wind loads acting on roof structural
components in light-frame structures are evaluated for use in a reliability analysis. Particular …

(1) The STORM simulation was developed to predict the response of regional stand age
structure to a given disturbance regime. The outcome of STORM depends upon rotation …

An investigation is presented into the question of whether series of extreme wind speed data
in climates not subjected to hurricane winds are best fit by Type I or Type II extreme …
