Optimal reinsurance with multiple tranches

Semyon Malamud

Motivated by common practices in the reinsurance industry and in insurance markets such as Lloyd's, we study the general problem of optimal insurance contracts design in the presence of multiple insurance providers. We show that the optimal risk allocation ...

Average spectral acceleration as an intensity measure for collapse risk assessment

Dimitrios Lignos

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 ...

Analysis of Ballast Transport in the Event of Overflowing of the Drainage System on High Speed Lines

Giovanni De Cesare, Tamara Ghilardi, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Elena Battisacco

The transport of ballast caused by the overflowing of longitudinal drains is a prime example of the interactions between the railway track and its environment. In such conditions, water flowing from the platform, along with debris, may drag the ballast off ...
