Prediction of Soil Corrosivity Index: A Bayesian Belief Network Approach
TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian belief network (BBN) approach is proposed to address the interdependency of soil parameters and their effect on the corrosivity of soil, which uses a combination of in situ collected data and expert knowledge of soil parameter to model the inter-dependency between soil parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic reliability analysis using a multi-fidelity surrogate model: Example of base-isolated buildings
TL;DR: In this paper , a base-isolated building is considered comprising a reinforced concrete frame for primary building and lead-rubber bearings for isolation devices, and Monte Carlo simulation is carried out by sampling the cheap multi-fidelity surrogate, and the probability of failure is subsequently evaluated for different response thresholds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damped Timber Shear Wall: Shake-Table Tests and Analytical Models
TL;DR: Light-timber frames, using plywood (PW), exhibit a pinched hysteresis response, and their energy absorption capacity is limited as discussed by the authors, and the energy-dissipation capacity can be enhanced using energy harvesting techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Seismic Response of a Japanese Conventional Wooden House Using 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Records
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed damage assessment of more than 2,500 wooden houses was conducted at Mashiki Town, Kumamoto, following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake series, where severe structural and nonstructural damage was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variable stiffness smart structure systems to mitigate seismic induced building damages
TL;DR: In this article, a variable stiffness smart structure device known as the Smart Spring is proposed to mitigate seismic induced damage in noncode conforming buildings in moderate to high seismic hazard regions.
