Reliability assessment of shallow foundations on undrained soils considering soil spatial variability (2019)
Journal Article

Structural design using partial safety factors aims at achieving an homogeneous safety level in geotechnical design without the use of more complex reliability analysis. In this work, the different Design Approaches proposed by Eurocode 7 for shallow...

Partial safety factors for prestressed concrete girders strengthened with CFRP laminates (2019)
Journal Article

This paper provides a framework for the calibration of partial safety factors in prestressed concrete (PC) girders strengthened in flexure with carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. A hybrid approach was proposed to take advantage of comp... Read More about Partial safety factors for prestressed concrete girders strengthened with CFRP laminates.

Fragility Assessment of Pre-Northridge Steel Moment Frames using Finite-Length Plastic Hinge Elements and Concentrated Plasticity Fracture Elements (2019)
Journal Article

Although pre-Northridge earthquake steel moment resisting frame buildings have been shown to be susceptible to brittle connection failures, they still represent a large fraction of the existing steel buildings in the United States o...

Stochastic maintenance models for ceramic claddings (2019)
Journal Article

Maintenance decision-making involves a series of multiple objectives, some of them contradictory. Usually, stakeholders intend to find the optimal maintenance strategy, to minimize the economic burden, while simultaneously maximizing the buildings’ p...

Time-dependent reliability analyses of prestressed concrete girders strengthened with CFRP laminates (2019)
Journal Article

This paper presents a time-dependent reliability analysis of prestressed concrete girders subjected to degradation caused by pitting corrosion. The procedure presented includes the effects of both spatial and temporal pitting corrosions on prestressi...

Probabilistic prediction of asphalt pavement performance (2019)
Journal Article

Variability of pavement design parameters has always been a concern to pavement designers and highway agencies. A robust pavement design should take into account the variability of the design inputs and its impact on the reliability of the design. In...
