Measurement-system design for structural identification

Numa Joy Bertola

In developed countries, the management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Due to conservative approaches in construction design and practice, infrastructure often has hidden re ...

Preliminary Design of DEMO PF Coils Based on EU DEMO 2018 Baseline

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Mithlesh Kumar

The dimensioning of Winding Packs and allocation of materials in DEMO PF coils is proposed based on the requirements defined by the EUROfusion 2018 DEMO baseline. The coils are pancake-wound and use two types of forced flow cable-in-conduit conductors. The ...

Framework to Approximate the Value of Information of Bridge Load Testing for Reserve Capacity Assessment

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Marco Proverbio

In developed countries, structural assessment of existing bridges should not be performed using the same conservative models that are used at the design stage. Field measurements of real behavior provide additional information for the inference of previous ...

Adding value to bridges by monitoring and UHPFRC technology

Eugen Brühwiler

Novel structural engineering methods and technologies are urgently needed to improve the performance of existing structures, such as bridges. Limited funding and ever increasing user demands challenge current technologies which are often invasive and not c ...

Belief as a Wise Wager

Leyla Loued-Khenissi

From the moment we wake up in the morning to the day's ebb when we settle in to sleep, we are bound to the task of decision-making. Some of these decisions barely register in our consciousness, if at all, while others, less shy, take a more prominent place ...

Optimal Information Collection Policies in a Markov Decision Process Framework

Thomas Alois Weber

The cost-effectiveness and value of additional information about a health technology or program may change over time because of trends affecting patient cohorts and/or the intervention. Delaying information collection even for parameters that do not change ...

Bridge "examineering" or how monitoring and UHPFRC improve the performance of structures

Examination engineering (short: "Examineering") of existing bridges comprises accurate determination of structural behavior and targeted use of advanced materials for improvement of structural behavior with the ultimate goal of limiting construction interv ...

Safety examination of existing concrete structures using the global resistance safety factor concept

Current design procedures for structural concrete elements are based on member level (or local) safety checks, in the sense that the safety condition is evaluated at each cross-section individually. In the examination of existing structures, the exploitati ...

Damage predicting algorithms for regular RC structures

Pierino Lestuzzi, Amin Karbassi

In this paper a 2-phase decision tree algorithm is developed to qualitatively predict damage in RC buildings based on earthquake characteristics and structural properties. To this end, the structural properties considered are the natural period of the fund ...

Selfish Response to Epidemic Propagation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

An epidemic spreading in a network calls for a decision on the part of the network members: They should decide whether to protect themselves or not. Their decision depends on the trade off between their perceived risk of being infected and the cost of bein ...
