This self-contained book focuses on the safety assessment of existing structures subjected to multi-hazard scenarios through advanced numerical methods. Whereas the focus is on concrete dams and nuclear containment structures, the presented methodologies can also be applied to other large-scale ones.
The authors explains how aging and shaking ultimately lead to cracking, and how these complexities are compounded by their random nature. Nonlinear (static and transient) finite element analysis is hence integrated with both earthquake engineering and probabilistic methods to ultimately derive capacity or fragility curves through a rigorous safety assessment.
Expanding its focus beyond design aspects or the state of the practice (i.e., codes), this book is composed of seven sections:
This book should inspire students, professionals and most importantly regulators to rigorously apply the most up to date scientific methods in the safety assessment of large concrete structures.
Victor E. Saoumais a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He has 40 years of academic experience, has been working on fracture mechanics, alkali silica reaction, and their impact on the seismic safety assessment of dams and nuclear reactors.
Dr. M.Amin Hariri-Ardebili is a research associate at the University of Colorado, Boulder and has 15years of experience in advanced numerical analysis of infrastructures. He is an expert in probabilistic risk-based safety evaluation, uncertainty quantification and applied machine learning in structural and earthquake engineering.
