The COST-731 action is focused on uncertainty propagation in hydrometeorological forecasting chains. Goals and activities of the action Working Group 2 are presented. Five foci for discussion and research have been identified: (1) understand uncertainties, ...
Computing averages over a target probability density by statistical re-weighting of a set of samples with a different distribution is a strategy which is commonly adopted in fields as diverse as atomistic simulation and finance. Here we present a very gene ...
This article looks at the malandro, the bandit of Venezuela’s poor neighborhoods, as a paradoxical and hybrid figure of the urban Caribbean, a virtuoso actor of the cultures of emergency and Asphalt. Threatened by global uncertainty, postcolonial Creole ci ...
Reinforced concrete flat slabs are extensively used in buildings and parking garages. Their design is governed by deflection at the serviceability limit state and punching shear at the ultimate limit state. When no punching shear reinforcement is provided, ...
A new connection system for a concrete filled steel tube composite column and reinforced concrete beams is proposed. In this connection, the steel tube is interrupted while the reinforced concrete beams are continuous in the joint zone. Multiple lateral ho ...
Punching shear of reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on columns is a failure mode in which the slab fractures around the column. This type of failure is sudden and can be catastrophic in nature. Punching shear generally governs the ultimate limit sta ...
Raman assistance in distributed sensors based on Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis (BOTDA) can significantly extend the measurement distance. In this work we have developed a 2 meter resolution long-range Brillouin distributed sensor that reaches 100 ...
In this work, we present a new framework to cope with problems due to uncertainty. We consider the uncertainty implicitly with helps of Uncertainty Feature Optimization (UFO), i.e. we transform the initial problem to a multi-objective problem. The aim is t ...
Thin-shell and rod theory using discrete mechanics applied to structures in civil engineering. The aim is to apply structure preserving algorithms to concrete problems in construction. The major objectives of this interdisciplinary work is the search and t ...
Rock fall hazard assessment and hazard mapping are essential for the risk management of vulnerable areas. This paper analyses some issues concerning fragmental rock fall hazard mapping methodologies. Two Swiss approaches based on rock fall trajectory simul ...
