Structural Reliability analysis (SRA) is one of the prominent fields in civil and mechanical
engineering. However, an accurate SRA in most cases deals with complex and costly …

Concrete is a heterogeneous material, consisting of different constituents such as
aggregates of different sizes and cement paste. Due to the heterogeneity of the concrete, its …

To estimate and update the reliability of deteriorating structural systems with inspection and
monitoring results, we develop a modeling and computational framework based on dynamic …

An efficient approach to reliability analysis of deteriorating structural systems is presented,
which considers stochastic dependence among element deterioration. Information on a …

Current health monitoring of orthotropic steel deck (OSD) subjected to fatigue damage
mainly relies on deterministic physical models and the field measurements through …

Assuming given corrosion states this paper studies the effect of interference of corrosion pits
on adjacent rebars on the probability of bending failure of a corroded reinforced concrete …

This paper addresses value of information, structural health information, and decision
analyses in built environment engineering. Decision analyses are used for the joint …

Pre-posterior analyses can be used to determine the value of information (VoI) of inspection
strategies. As such, decisions can be made on whether or not it is relevant to perform …

In the field of building inspection and diagnosis, uncertainty is common and surveyors are
aware of it, although it is not easily measured. This research proposes a model to quantify …

This study developed a method for detection and quantitative evaluation of the elastic stress
of the reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) beams. By combining the minimum energy …
