دانلود کتاب Construction Reliability: Safety, Variability and Sustainability

This book provides answers to the following problems: how to identify the most probable critical failures; how to describe and use data-concerning materials that are either heterogeneous, time-variant, or space-variant; how to quantify the reliability and lifetime of a system; how to use feedback information to actualize reliability results; and how to optimize an inspection politic or a maintenance strategy. Numerous authors from public research centers and firms propose a synthesis of methods, both new and well-known, and offer numerous examples concerning dams, geotechnical study, and structures from nuclear and civil engineering.Content: Chapter 1 Methods for System Analysis and Failure Analysis (pages 5–20): Daniel Boissier, Laurent Peyras and Aurelie TalonChapter 2 Methods for Modeling Failure Scenarios (pages 21–36): Daniel Boissier, Laurent Peyras and Aurelie TalonChapter 3 Application to a Hydraulic Civil Engineering Project (pages 37–51): Daniel Boissier, Laurent Peyras and Aurelie TalonChapter 4 Uncertainties in Geotechnical Data (pages 57–76): Denys Breysse, Julien Baroth, Gilles Celeux, Aurelie Talon and Daniel BoissierChapter 5 Some Estimates on the Variability of Material Properties (pages 77–96): Denys Breysse and Antoine MaracheChapter 6 Reliability of a Shallow Foundation Footing (pages 97–117): Denys BreysseChapter 7 Physical and Polynomial Response Surfaces (pages 123–146): Frederic Duprat, Franck Schoefs and Bruno SudretChapter 8 Response Surfaces based on Polynomial Chaos Expansions (pages 147–167): Bruno Sudret, Geraud Blatman and Marc BerveillerChapter 9 Data Aggregation and Unification (pages 173–186): Daniel Boissier and Aurelie TalonChapter 10 Time?Variant Reliability Problems (pages 187–206): Bruno SudretChapter 11 Bayesian Inference and Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods (pages 207–226): Gilles CeleuxChapter 12 Bayesian Updating Techniques in Structural Reliability (pages 227–247): Bruno SudretChapter 13 Maintenance Policies (pages 253–270): Alaa Chateauneuf, Franck Schoefs and Bruno CapraChapter 14 Maintenance Cost Models (pages 271–291): Alaa Chateauneuf and Franck SchoefsChapter 15 Practical Aspects: Industrial Implementation and Limitations in a Multi?criteria Context (pages 293–309): Franck Schoefs and Bruno Capra
