To improve the seismic connectivity reliability (SCR) analysis efficiency of water distribution systems (WDS) based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, the quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) method sampled by a low-discrepancy sequence is applied. Furthermore, a parall...

A reasonable material hysteretic constitutive model has a significant influence on the seismic simulation results of structures. To better describe the hysteresis seismic performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-constrained concrete, a new modified ...

During landfalling tropical storms, predictions of the expected storm surge are critical for guiding evacuation and emergency response/preparedness decisions, both at regional and national levels. Forecast errors related to storm track, intensity, and si...

Civil engineering applications are often characterized by a large uncertainty on the material parameters. Discretization of the underlying equations is typically done by means of the Galerkin Finite Element method. The uncertain material parameter can be...

This article presents an approach and a model to valuing discrete barrier American options. The developed model consists of an adaptation of the method of Grant, Vora and Weeks (1997), in order to allow to incorporate the barriers. The Hybrid Quasi-Monte...
