Roller compacted concrete gravity dams are built since several decades. In combination with such dams, stepped spillways are very often used as efficient flood release structures. More recently stepped spillways are also excavated into rock along the abutm ...
This paper quantifies the lateral overstrength and the collapse risk of steel buildings with perimeter special moment frames (SMFs) designed in highly seismic regions in North America. State-of-the-art analytical models that consider the contributions of t ...
This contribution seeks to identify a few factors that have contributed to the success of a thriving discipline, and to identify threats that could put future prospects at risk. Many of these factors are not specific to magnetic resonance, and may also app ...
This paper investigates the performance of spectral acceleration averaged over a period range (Saavg) as an intensity measure (IM) for estimating the collapse risk of structures subjected to earthquake loading. The performance of Saavg is evaluated using t ...
Underwater inspection and maintenance (e.g. in the oil & gas industry) are demanding and costly activities for which ROV based setups are often deployed in addition or in substitution to deep divers - contributing to operations risks and costs cutting. How ...
Confronted with the challenge of improving regulatory performance, many governments in the world are looking for ways to better manage risks, in particular those risks that develop in complex systems, with stakeholders from various sectors, and that are ma ...
This paper investigates the effect of the gravity framing system on the overstrength and collapse risk of steel frame buildings with perimeter special moment frames (SMFs) designed in North America. A nonlinear analytical model that simulates the pinched h ...
Reduced-form models of default that attribute a large fraction of credit spreads to compensation for credit-event risk typically preclude the most plausible economic justification for such risk to be priced, namely, a contemporaneous drop in the market por ...

A composite running-in wear model for metal-on-metal artificial hip joints, which combines tribo-corrosion and lubrication aspects, was published recently. In order to check the quality of the model prediction, wear rates from nineteen well-controlled simu ...
