Risk management of flash floods in arid mountainous cities is challenged by the lack of
proper data and the unreadiness of infrastructures to handle large floods. Climate …

Tailings dam collapses, though rare, have significant human, economic and environmental
impacts. In this study, we analyze two tailings dam collapses in Mariana and Brumadinho …

On a global scale, urban areas struggle with various environmental, social, and economic
problems due to rapidly growing populations and rapid urbanization processes. In this …

Long infrastructures, like flood defense levees, built upon diverse soils, often face complex
landslide failures. Risk assessments for such structures involve evaluating slope stability …

The analysis of engineering systems via computer-based models often confronts the
intricacy of high-dimensional input spaces and notable interrelationships between inputs …

Searching for the most probable point (MPP) by traditional methods cannot avoid the
demand for accurate gradients of limit state functions (LSFs) essentially. It is difficult to …

In mountainous regions, protection infrastructures designed to mitigate the impacts of
torrential floods often consist of a complex system of several structural components (check …

Investigating the reliability of ancient hydraulic structures constructed without modern
probabilistic criteria allows an understanding of why and how the structure fails. In this …
